genre-mapping venn



almost forgot, I went along for one night of the trans musicales de rennes festival and it was pretty good times.

almost as excitingly, though, at 3 in the morning burger-time, is finding this (pdf) being used as table place-mats.

any song, any time

http://www.justhearit.com/ appears to be some kind of searching conglomeration of youtube, and.... I'm guessing mp3 blogs. except apparently they've paid up all the licence fees. weirdly enough, it doesn't have random stuff that's very unlikely to be on the internet, and other stupid questions i think of asking it... but it does have Flotation Toy Warning... and it seems to be crawling myspace too.. ...which makes it different from Deezer in that they're not actually hosting the content - probably not a bad idea. unfortunately, it does fall into the Deezer preference of a flash-only interface - which I maybe don't hate as strongly as this guy, but kinda, all the same.

ASCII spy..... half a post

Y'know, happens sometimes, you've got some contraband data you want to sneak out and spread worldwide, but under the radar, as it were. More importantly, wouldn't it be nice if this could just... be presented nicely, too? Is that too much to ask? These things make such a difference... We all already know and love ASCII art (right?) but most generator-type programs just populate the field with a bunch of random characters. This, new from Vincent Chu on googleapps will encode the data file of your choice (albeit at present with size restrictions) into an image, for example: ....this would be a lot better in every way if I hadn't been foiled by blogspot's stylesheets of course overiding any I tried to put in (to make text really really small, to render the image) ....I haven't been able to think of a straightforward way to do this ....something to come back to, maybe. (there was a hidden encoded file and everything!)

not totally feeling the lists thing right at the moment but seems to be end-of-year-appropriate.
