Looking for LastFM firefox add-on
Posted on | July 24, 2009 | No Comments
So, I use Spotify a lot while browsing in Firefox. It’s great that Spotify can scrobbble listens to Last FM, and it’s great that Firefox can allow to control the browser by using Foxytunes. But….
I am looking for a Firefox add-on that allows me to control the ‘Love Track’ function from within the browser. Foxytunes would be awesome it it added this feature, especially as all the other Last FM Firefox add-ons don’t offer this functionality.
So get in contact if you can help…
Meanwhile, check out a pretty massive track using Spotify:

Last FM – what is it, and why.
Posted on | October 9, 2008 | No Comments
Last FM is a social networking service that tracks the music you play from your computer and posts it your profile for you and others to see.
This allows your friends to see what kind of music you are enjoying at the moment, as well as what is your most played tracks and artists. Friends that also have a Last FM can recommend music to you, and send you messages just like on Facebook or Myspace.
What’s cool with Last FM is that you can display customised charts on your own website, blog, Myspace/Facebook profile, so that others can see your music tastes without having to go to your Last FM profile. You can see I have a couple of these over on the right there…
Last FM is also a great way to find new music, especially through looking at people’s profiles who have similar tastes to you, something that Last FM can arrange for you.
So without preaching Last FM too much, I’m gonna leave it at that and hope you go try it out if you haven’t already. If you want to add me, my user name is wilyam
Four uses of sending yourself a future email
Posted on | October 8, 2008 | No Comments
Do you ever find yourself sending yourself emails to remind yourself of things to do or check? I frequently find myself sending myself an email, which I leave as unread and ‘flagged’ or ‘starred’ so that I will come back at a later date (usually a few days later) and read the email.
Futureme.org is a web service that allows you to send yourself emails which can delivered at anytime in the future. You can use Futureme just for a laugh, for organisation, or to store information that you do not want to have access to til a later date.
Here are my top four uses for Futureme.
- Send yourself an email reminding you to do or check something.
- Send yourself an email that will be interesting to read in say a couple of years. Write about how your life is going, how you are feeling, what you expect yourself to being doing in a couple of years etc.
- Send yourself a future present! Maybe buy an online gift voucher code and send it to yourself. Some random morning you will get this email which will definitely brighten up your day. Just be sure to check the gift voucher code’s expiry date.
- Send yourself information that you don’t want to have access to until a particular time in the future. For example you may want to store away a pin-code for a bank account so that you don’t spend the money contained within.
Let me know if you have used Futureme, or have any good ideas of how to use it.
