I figured out favicons

Ross Kyle showed me quick how to generate and use faveicons (the little icons that show up to the left of URLs in your browser). So now there’s a little picture of me next to the URL for my blog. :-) It’s a (very) little thing, but it makes me happy. I used this generator, but have no reason to recommend them beyond “it worked”.

Currently listening to “Banjo picking girl” by Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard from Roots Music: An American Journey on Rounder. This is a very nice collection which I remember paying next to nothing for. Looks like they charge real money for it now, but I don’t know why.

MusicMobs isn’t working for me, I’m afraid

Note: As of 23 Mar 2005 the problem seems to be fixed. Go here for more.

Earlier I wrote about MusicMobs.com, which seemed like a neat way for people to collaboratively share ideas and suggestions about music in an indirect and happily distributed sort of way.

Unfortunately I can’t seem to make it work. I’ve tried to upload my library listing several times, both through their web site and through their Mobster application, and it’s never worked. I even e-mailed the guy that runs it, but never heard back.

To be fair, my library is pretty big (well over 5,000 songs), so I shouldn’t be entirely surprised that it choked on something that big. Still, it had a lot of potential and I’m disappointed that I can’t play.

Maybe I should try to upload just a subset (like my 4 and 5 star songs) and see if that works better…

Currently listening to the title track from Medeski, Martin, and Wood’s album End of the world party (just in case). I got this for Dad for Xmas; I kind of doubt that it’s entirely his thing, but we figured that we’d stretch his horizons a little :). SubEvilBoy and I were seriously grooving to it this morning at breakfast, though. Some good stuff here.
