The only real purpose of this entry is to pop up in your RSS reader and get you to come to my site and see my new Song Display Module (tm).

Holy SHIT it is so sweet. It put my CSS and javascript/AJAX skills to the absolute limit, and took a good 9 hours straight of coding. But it's here, and it works.

Also, if you hadn't noticed, you can "Cheer" songs if you like them. Yes, it's a ripoff of Digg...whatever at least you don't have to register.

To download the songs, simply click the title or the image. Wooooooooot!

Okay, so it's not really finished. What I'm working on now is a way to link blog entries to songs, so that I can talk about songs I upload, and so that songs can have their own display page that displays the full title and info about the song. But I think what I have now is a great start!

So last night I excitedly uploaded a bunch of new code to this here website.

But it didn't work.

In a frenzy, I quickly tried to delete the post where I had been flaunting my new features. But too late, it had already been picked up by my facebook notes, and cached by Google Reader.

Anyways, I HAD tested my changes in my local environment, and everything had worked fine. But whatever, I'm not bitter. Apologies to anyone who read the 'Mr. Mustard' post and got their hopes up. I'm looking at re-implementing the file upload capacity with "acts_as_attachment" (a rails plugin) instead of using "file_column" (another rails plugin). And this time, I have set up a mechanism to test that everything works before the feature goes on the front page.

I've decided to link my blog to facebook. Previously, I had resisted this, because I thought it would be the equivalent of spamming facebook. But it seems that nowadays facebook is doing a pretty good job of spamming itself, so whatever.

I'm also going to start posting songs on my blog here, in their own special section. Once I roll out that feature, I anticipate that I'll be aggressively promoting my blog, much more than I do now. So get ready!
