Whee

I’ve got LogJam back. Damn thing doesn’t like authenticated proxies much, but the non-authenticated types are fine. So all I need is my own little Squid forwarding requests to the proxy here.

I have more music than I listen to (but I’m definitely too lazy to prune my collection). Enter Exaile (an Amarok clone) — it uses last.fm to dynamically grow your playlist using similar music. Seed it with some music you like and you’re likely to get a playlist of a a lot of your favourite music. Niceness. Again, it doesn’t support proxies too well. Maybe I’ll write a patch if I get bored enough. Python’s handling of proxies in urllib, urllib2 and so forth is pretty lousy.

    Tell LogJam to use a custom command and use this one-liner script:

    #!/bin/bash

    echo "exaile --get-artist - exaile --get-title"
