What’s the advantage of working at a school you ask? SCHOOL HOLIDAYS!

Yep it’s that time for me again where I find out just how boring life can be without a job. It’s not all bad though, I get to work on this pretty looking website of mine a bit more. I have once again pulled the audioscrobbler music played script off my page because of constant downtimes of audioscrobbler.com. I’ve decided to take another angle and send and store the music I play directly to my own website, which is much quicker and much more reliable, and the cool thing is I can do what I want with the information I’m collecting. I found a nice little winamp plugin called CGIAmpInfo A nice basic script where you can send the information of the current song playing to any given URL. It sends the info like it submits a form, so you can use that data how you like. I’m in the process of working on the PHP script, but my plans are to simply display my last 10 tracks played on the sidebar, I’ll store the information in my MySQL database, and hopfully once I have the basic script down I’ll start working on something that can display a good stats page of the music I have been playing. Should be quite good once it’s finished. I also need to look into why weather.com doesn’t send the correct image information anymore. On top of that I want to add some more scripts to my PHP scripts page, and get some more work put on my portfolio page, I may even finish an old flash version of this site I have half finished from a year or so back.
