Sound Tracking

I've now got a 'Sound track' section in the side bar, over there ---> somewhere.

This displays the music I'm currently listening to (last five tracks) or at least the music I'm listening to on with iTunes on any of my Windows PC's running .net framework!!! I guess we'll have to wait for my colleague's dreams to come to fruition in order to blog everything that hits my ears, regardless of source!

I've been fiddling with this idea for a few months now my initial experiments worked but I was relying on poking http Post through a browser from a desk top JavaScript - needless to say that, although the monitoring was spot on, it was less than desirable to spawn a new browser instance everytime a new track was played.

But now I found iTunesBlogger, a nifty little C# app. I've caught the output from the app with an ASP script and iFramed it into the blog template. I also write an RSS(ish) feed to my server but haven't got around to doing anything with it yet!

iTunesBlogger can be a little clunky on my desktop system, occasionally locking up, but it does the job well enough - thanx!

Rhombus live video

Here is a clip of us playing live on the London leg of G-Fest earlier this month.

Starting afresh

So, this blog seems somewhat sparse for 2010, thats the effect of a mixture my focus being elsewhere and the blogger service altering its range of publishing options and me only just getting around to switching. The blog has now moved to techiedog.blogspot.com . Still ... onwards and upwards.

OpenCoffee

The first Huddersfield OpenCoffee got off to a cracking start with 34 people passing through the event and a max concurrent attendance of 26. We plan to repeat the meet up on the Second Wednesday of every month. It was a great mix of Entrepreneurs, Engineers, designers, Investors, Legal peeps, and RIA types - a perfect mix. I managed to get around and talk to quite a few people but by no means all, but there were many active conversations happening.
