Spiraloz.com has moved house, I changed webhosts a couple of weeks ago and was braced for the worst after migrating my database to the new home, as well as the rest of the site’s files etc. It went a lot smoother than I expecting, not really any hitches at all. I won’t plug the webhosts, but I will say that my new webhost is 1/3 of the price, 5 times more space, has a better control panel, and to top things off it supports all the PHP imap functions, so my moblog script is running it’s filling up fast, I’ve added an archive page, and it’s looking good. The only hitch I’m experiencing is with the photo gallery, but I think I’ll change that soon to my own script, one that looks kind of like the archive of the moblog script. The only thing I’m worried about now is my phone bill with this script .

Ok I’ve packaged up a very basic release of Choonstats, no installer, just the files, a readme of how to install and another text file with the SQL dump for the table. I cleaned up the code a bit and added extra comments too. So head on over to the PHP Scripts page and download it if you’re keen.

Well my music played script is growing in leaps and bounds. I’ve decided to call the script Choonstats. Some of the things I’ve changed since my last post is the table layout and colouring, I’ve made it easier to read using alternating colours for each row. I’ve also added a small graphical view of the playcount of artists and songs, which looks rather cool I thought. I do realise the more things I seem to do to this script it looks more and more like Audioscrobbler’s layout, so I need to think of something that sets it apart from audioscrobbler which I will do eventually I think the fact that anyone can have it on their own PHP/MySQL site is one good aspect. The next step is to package up the 3 files and make a little installer/configuration PHP file. Maybe even submit it to a few of those script sites. One of the features I’d like to implement next is multiple users. This shouldn’t be a super hard thing to do, pretty much just adding another field to the table really. Before I do that though I’ve got to keep an eye on how much webspace this script will take up after a week or so, I’m thinking quite a bit, but I have quite a bit of space so I should be ok.
