To My Followers...

Apologies as I have removed the Follow widget from my blog in light of the recent (and quite obvious) changes made to it. Like Steph initially opted, I too was going to give it some time for them to realize the err of their ways before removing it. But, I have gone to the ropes with Google before over similar matters, recalling last year when they silently issued a drastic and horribly dumbed-down up(down?)grade to the image search page. It took a lot of us (developers mostly) badgering them incessantly and stating the numbers before they finally relented. For that, specifically, it was worthwhile. For a little widget, not so much. So, sorry to you for the inconvenience, and hopefully with enough other people tossing the widget a lesson learned for the Blogger devs.

New Music and Audio Player Upgrades

I made several upgrades to the audio player and have added 2 more playlists and a ton of additional tracks. Here's what's new...

Audio Player upgrades:

  • fixed issue of playlist images not displaying

  • added copyright field to info dialog

  • changed font and font-size on info dialog to allow for improved readability and larger text content

  • added download buttons beside each track in tracklist. just click the green arrow to download the mp3.

  • added right-click menu option for downloading tracks (downloads the currently playing track)

  • added tooltips

  • added a hack to force the player to load the most current player/playlist data (you should not have to clear your cache everytime to see the changes). PLEASE NOTE: you may still have to clear your cache this one time to get the fixed player.


New Playlists:

  • Album: House of Secrets (2003) - This is the playlist for a private-release album I produced in 2003. The album was really just an anthology.

  • Analog Dayz - old analog recordings - This playlist contains a number of tracks I recorded prior to converting to the digital recording world (roughly 1999-2000). Some of these were recorded on standard tape decks and the rest on a Fostex X-18H 4-track cassette recorder.


New Tracks:

Most of these tracks have been released on earlier versions of my website, but there are 3 that have never been released until now! Those tracks are:

  • evil.lil.me

  • Part of the Plan

  • Awaken To You


They're each in the "Various Music" playlist. But if you're a newer visitor, there are likely many more "new" tracks for you to check out.
