The time has come

chris — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 01:40:16 +0000

rock.fm 0.4 has finally been completed! It’s only about a month late, but late is better than never. New additions are the audioscrobbler web services, which grab data and display it in an aesthetically pleasing fashion. I believe I’ve also fixed a few nagging bugs that had existed in the submission process and the GUI. If you like it (or don’t), leave a message here to let me know that somebody is actually using it.

I Knew This Would Happen..

I haven’t touched the code for rock.fm in about two weeks. As soon as I started working on the omgwtf contest, I knew that it’d get me less interested in the code I was using for the past few months. It’s just how I roll. And now I’ve gone and started working on some other small projects (they’ll get a project page soon enough).

I hope that this is just a slow down in development because of the stage it’s in. The proxy at work won’t let me access the web through a straight internet connection, so I can’t reliably draw the information received from the web services. I suppose I could set up some proxy information for rock.fm. I don’t know… we’ll see how things go.

rock.fm on hold

chris — Mon, 07 May 2007 13:53:45 +0000

For most of this week (and part of last week) changes to rock.fm will be put on hold. I’ll probably miss the 0.4 milestone because of this, but if I have the chance to have fun and maybe win a JPEG, along with a MacBook Pro to display it, by writing some really bad code, I’m going to do it. Once everything has been judged, I’ll put my code from the OMGWTF contest on display here.

I will resume work on rock.fm once my entry is complete.

rock.fm Screenshots

Finally got around to creating those screenshots of the application. Let me know if it looks decent, or what you think should be changed.

You know the routine

chris — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 14:18:58 +0000

rock.fm has reached version 0.3, bringing with it the ability to prompt the user for a password, if he/she wishes not to store it or pass it on the command-line. Also, the password is now stored as an md5 hash. Finally, there is the ability to backup the scrobbler log file (this can also be done automatically).

Those screenshots haven’t gotten on the ball and made themselves, yet. So I suppose I’ll have to do it for them.

rock.fm 0.2 released

chris — Sat, 07 Apr 2007 02:47:26 +0000

And a day early this time! So far, it looks to be relatively stable. If there are any show-stopping bugs, submit them to the trac.

Anyway, get it at the project page. I promise those screenshots are coming at some point.

Official Plugin Status

chris — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 12:36:06 +0000

A few days ago, rock.fm was given official plugin status by the admins at last.fm. With that reached, we’ve come to version 0.1.2. Work on 0.2 is coming along, a little slower than I’d prefer, but steadily. Perhaps I’ll post some screenshots when I’ve finalized a design for the UI.

Happy Pi Day!

chris — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 01:35:04 +0000

It’s pretty late into Pi day, but I’m still celebrating. The 0.1 release of rock.fm is today. Check it out (if anyone is actually reading this.

Trac functional

chris — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 13:19:43 +0000

I managed to get trac functional for rock.fm, along with several other projects I’ve previously worked on, and will probably finish in the future. The root can be found here.

Updated rockfm

chris — Mon, 05 Mar 2007 00:46:00 +0000

The commandline version of rockfm is almost functional. Just need to make a few changes to the date format, then it should work.
