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:

Foxytunes now supports Spotify

Posted on | July 22, 2009 | No Comments

Mozilla Firefox’s Add-on ‘FoxyTunes‘ now supports the streaming music application ‘Spotify’.

Foxytunes allows you to add a customisable toolbar into Firefox which allows you to control your media player from within the browser.  Foxytunes will also display the track currently being played, and show (optionally) show artwork and links to the artists website.

Foxytunes is a great add-on if you find yourself listening to music while browsing in Firefox since it saves you flicking between your media player and the browser.

Foxytunes has supported Windows Media Player, iTunes, Winamp etc for ages now, but it’s only this month started supporting Spotify.

Kentucky GRILLED Chicken comes to the US

Posted on | April 17, 2009 | 1 Comment

Man I love KFC chicken… I probably have it twice or so a year, and even then it feels like that’s too much for my arteries.  So to my delight, KFC have thought about putting on some healthier options and have unveiled Kentucky Grilled Chicken in the US.

Check out the KGC here

As you will see from the website, the calorie, fat, and salt content is  massively reduced to KFC’s fried chicken.

Really want this in the UK!


Personal victory – I rank #1 for my own name!

Posted on | March 16, 2009 | 4 Comments

Not long ago I posted that I wasn’t ranking #1 for my own name.  This was mainly due to a site with the domain williamgardner.co.uk being established for a few years, and Google has the tendancy to rank sites with the keyword as it’s domain very well.   

I just checked today and I wgardner.co.uk now ranks number one for the keyword ‘william gardner‘.  Not that this is that important for me, or the site, but I am pleased since this was my own little personal SEO goal.


Rounded CSS/JS corners without images

Posted on | February 24, 2009 | 1 Comment

CSS3 is looking great – lots of new features including rounded corners, but Internet Explorer is not supporting CSS3 so it’s pretty tricky to think were it will be useful right now.

Anyway, I came across an awesome JS resource that allows for CSS rounded corners on the fly with or without borders.

Good stuff
