More Musical Gadgets for You to Enjoy!

That’s right, there’s more free music for you to listen to. You may have noticed my list of recently played tracks there in the sidebar — it magically knows what I’ve been playing on my computer, iPod, or phone — courtesy of last.fm, a great site for anyone obsessed with music and self documentation, like, say, me. It will occasionally allow you to play the tracks I’ve been listening to, provided they host full versions of the songs. Sometimes, though, all you get is a 30-second clip. How disappointing, right?

Well, be disappointed no more! I added a little widget below my recent tracks that plays my so-called “radio station”: you’ll get a random assortment of my tracks, and all are full versions. You can skip the ones you don’t like, and, for the ones you do like, you can click the little link to have last.fm play you more similar stuff. It’s a great way to find new music. Go on and check it out!

P.S. Since my profile over at last.fm is not anonymous, I disabled all the links to it, so those elements of the widgets don’t work. Everything else should be functional, though.

P.P.S. These only show up on the main page, not the individual post pages.

Site Business & Opinions Sought

I have managed to upgrade to the newest WordPress and finally get the newly compatible version of my theme.  But why should you care?  Because I now have the ability to post these nonsense little sidebar posts (look to the right, under the TV picture) and there is one there now in which I seek your opinion.  Go!  Opine!  Opine, I ask you!

Comments Gone Weird [UPDATE - fixed, sort of]

For some reason the boxes where you fill in your name and email to comment have vanished — sometimes they flash by briefly when loading the page though. WTF?

Anyway, I made it so you can comment anonymously. Will try to fix.

UPDATED: I fixed it by switching to the default template (which I had to quickly turn green because the loss of my previous, brief and lovely color scheme was saddening me). I hope when the K2 people release the fixified version of the template I can try to put it back.
