Check out the new video from The Reign of Kindo, “Thrill of the Fall”.
You should check them out at myspace! http://myspace.com/thereignofkindo And check out the new album on amazon
I snapped this picture with my iPhone 3Gs. It wasn’t quite good enough to submit to gizmodo like my friend over at lightsandshapes.com though. I was actually surprised at the quality of this shot taken with my phone, I just wish there was a way to adjust the shutter speed with the iPhone! maybe with the iPhone 5…
The Reign of Kindo is releasing their new album, “This is what happens”, early august of this year. Check out samples on Amazon of their upcoming album! It sounds awesome so far. I probably won’t be in Buffalo for the release show so i’m going to just have to preorder my album and hope that it gets here in time for the show. Check them out!
Check out my friend over at Lights and Shapes He just got a Nikon D90 camera and is gonna be posting a lot of pictures with it.
I found a problem with Ampache when retrieving the track numbers for m4a files. I found a quick hack here that can fix this problem, and allow Ampache to get the actual track number for each song, rather than saying that every song has a track number of 0. http://ampache.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1348
For those who just want the code, you have to edit {ampachewebdir}/lib/class/vainfo.php.
Open this file, and find the get_info() function, and paste this at the bottom above
the line unset($this->_raw);.
if($this->tags['quicktime']['track']==0) {
$this->tags['quicktime']['track']=exec('faad -i '.escapeshellarg($this->filename).' 2>&1 |grep track: |cut "-d " -f2',$retval);
}
The pictures section of my website is FINALLY up. For a couple months it has been down, pending a server upgrade. Now that the server has been upgraded you can check it out at http://www.daveeddy.com/zenphoto
Well my Ampache Now Playing module for drupal is officially 100% done! Pending its approval at http://drupal.org you will be able to download and use it! This is my first big project in php/mysql so I’m really excited for it to be out there for people to use.
Once it gets approved i will dedicate a page here for it, but until then…
The Ampache Now Playing Module can display, in a block, the current song you are listening to with Ampache, as well as its corresponding album art. The module takes the RSS now playing feed from Ampache, and uses that to display the current song, artist and album, as well as from what device you are streaming to, and what time you streamed it (started listening).
I am about 90% of the way done with my Ampache Now Playing drupal module! You can get a sneak peak of what it will look like on the right hand side of my website under the menu! I will be posting it to drupals website, making a youtube video going through the process of installing it and configuring it with your ampache installation (it’s not hard at all!), and telling ampache.org about it.
If you are unfamiliar with Ampache check it out at Ampache. It’s an awesome and free way to catalog and access your music anywhere in the world. It’s PHP/MySQL driven, and you can an install it on any computer with apache or fastcgi running. You can access it over the web or on your phone. I use my iPhone to stream my music using ampache, it’s perfect, check it out!
My buddy at Lights and Shapes is also working on a Now Playing Ampache plug-in for wordpress!
I’m working on an ampache now playing drupal module. you can see a glimpse of the feautures I want it to have already on my site on the right hand side. I’m currently working on getting it to grab and cache album art from an ampache installation, but once that is all figured out it’ll be ready for release to the world! check back for updates!
ps, My friend at Lights and Shapes is also working on an Ampache Now Playing plugin for wordpress, our release dates should be pretty close.
