Sweeper : Automatically tag your music collection with metadata from Last.fm
by 1 other (via)A while back Last.fm released a command line tool to retrieve metadata for an arbitrary mp3 from their new fingerprint database. I tried it yesterday and it seemed way better than MusicBrainz. So, as a person with a lot of random mp3s, I cooked up a script for retagging entire folders of songs.
Last.fm Tagger
So, I'm trying my hand at Cocoa, namely RubyCocoa. Objective-C is a bit out of my grasp right now. If I start needing big performance boosts, I'll go that route. In the meantime, writing RubyCocoa apps is insanely fun. I wrote this basic tagger in 2 days (roughly 6 hours) and it works pretty well!
If you plan on trying out this app, create a small playlist with the name 'lastfmtagger' and put a few albums in there.

Depuis sa rencontre avec Aung San Suu Kyi il y a une dizaine d’années, Jane Birkin soutient inlassablement le peuple birman.

Gestion de la réputation sur Internet » Blog Archive » Classification des outils de gestion de la réputation numérique
Certains services, comme Google avec son PageRank ou eBay, doivent leur succès principalement à leur système de gestion de la réputation alors même que ce n’est pas le cœur de leur offre. La gestion de la réputation est donc parfois un “accessoire” bien utile ! On pourrait avec un peu d’audace définir Google et eBay avant tout comme des outils de gestion de la réputation qui, très accessoirement, proposent un moteur de recherche pour Google et un site de e-commerce pour eBay !

Design isn’t about tools : Journal : Mark Boulton
I’ve always liked to abstract my design process from the tools I use. Photoshop, Fireworks, HTML/CSS, Pen and paper, HTML Wireframes using Blueprint, Omnigraffle—It doesn’t really matter. You use what’s best for your workflow at the time. These are all tools in the same way that a pencil is a tool. They are implements to realise a solution to a problem. You say tomato and I say toe-may-toe.
Stopdesign | Choosing the right tool
However… I consider myself fairly competent in HTML & CSS. But even I am limited in design by starting with code before having a few design ideas fleshed out.
I have advocated in the past that HTML and even CSS are not design tools. They are tools used to implement design. There’s a big difference.
Big Ideas (don't get any) : Video & Audio Rmx from Radiohead
by 3 othersBased on the lyric (and alternate title) "Big Ideas: Don't get any" I grouped together a collection of old redundant hardware, and placed them in a situation where they're trying their best to do something that they're not exactly designed to do, and not quite getting there. It doesn't sound great, as it's not supposed to.
