last ten
Last ten songs now updated with the current
playing track! I'm working on adding album covers too, but that is a lot
of manual work to collect all of the images, associate them with the
particular songs in iTunes, uploading the images to the server, and adding
the necessary code to the site.
Also, I want to officially annouce the return of the Bethesda web cam! I'm
going to relaunch the web cam (previously seen in the hours before we lost
power during Hurricane Isabel) on jlb.to.
Using Mike's old iBook, a new wireless card, a new power adapter, an extra
iSight camera, and EvoCam software, the web cam will point out of a
different window, but have basically the same view as before.
It will be online as soon as the wireless card and power adapter
(currently on order) make it here.
UPDATE: (Feb. 21, 5:39 AM) The album covers are up, though there
was some minor cursing at the screen before I found a simple fix for the
images drooping over the bottom of their little box at the top of the
page. You can click on them for a (much) bigger version. There might also
be intermittent broken images since I probably made more than a few
typographical errors on entering the image names in to iTunes.
I'm still not totally pleased with the format of the Last 10 Tracks page.
The table within the border is not the look I was hoping for, but that
bordered box contains all the text formatting, so I'll have to replicate
that in the table, in order for it to look consistent with the rest of the
site.
Also, even though I ordered the necessary bits and pieces for the web cam,
I decided to cannibalize my PowerBook's AirPort card and power adapter for
the web camming iBook. So, that should be done tomorrow-- er, today...
Depending on when I get out of bed, that is.
