Today, I released Slocify for Winamp version 0.1. Get it and read more over at the Slocify page.
Slocify makes playing Spotify tracks from other media players a breeze. It features a simple drag & drop interface where you simply drag tracks from Spotify to your playlist to add them. Slocify does not interfere with Spotify advertisements and works with both Spotify Premium and Spotify Free.
I have decided to change the focus of Slocify from being a standalone media player to being a plugin for other media players that allows them to interact with Spotify.
The main reason for this change is that I have realised that a media player is quite a complex application and that I do not have the time to maintain that. Also, I believe you will be happier using your standard media player than having to learn yet another one.
First out will be a plugin for Winamp.
Update: I went with my code name and released Slocify.
Hi,
I am working on a project that will allow you to mix Spotify tracks and local tracks (mp3 and other audio files you have on your hard drives) in the same playlist. It is coming along really nicely and will soon be released to the public, but I am having trouble coming up with a good name for it. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Emil
This is mostly valuable to us Swedes who live in Gothenburg and around, but I'll take it in English anyway.
At vasttrafik.se, Västtrafik has a great autocompletion mechanism that uses AJAX to find the stops you are interested in while planning to travel. However, they haven't included the attribute to turn off your browser's own autocompletion mechanism.
Luckily, I found a userscript that fixes this. All I've edited is the URL matching filter, so all credits to David Dahl.
Get it here:

Today, I felt my GTD-score was too low, so I bought some colorful post-it stickers and turned the door to my bedroom/home office into a "get these things done now!"-surface, most important items centered at eye-height.

After reading this entry: Browser benchmarks 2: even Wine beats Linux Firefox, I decided to test it for myself. These were my results:
All in all, Firefox on Wine on Ubuntu feels more snappy than Firefox on Ubuntu. I'm going to stick with it for a while and post any glitches I find here.
These tests were done with Firefox 3.0.7 on Wine 1.0.1 on Ubuntu 8.10 and Firefox 3.0.7 on Ubuntu 8.10, respectively.
I tried the latest Wine from here, but found that version 1.0.1 from the Ubuntu repositories worked better for me.
Getting this at every start when you've just installed and reinstalled Ubuntu twice or more? Relax, the disk hasn't gone anywhere - all you need to do in order to get it to work is to append rootdelay=60 or more to the kernel line in grub :)
I have done some extensive modding of my binary clock for a more appealing look! Check in this image gallery!

This is an active list containing what extra applications and custom settings I have installed on my Ubuntu (8.10) machine in case of a computer crash and in case you are interested. Tips and comments are welcome!
This is an active list where I am listing the Firefox extensions (and Greasemonkey scripts) I am currently using, in case my computer would crash on me and I would have to find them all again. And in case you are interested, of course!
