If I may ask, how do you get full lyrics out of lyricswiki?

I thought the description in the text box on the side was okay. What would you say sets lystener apart?

My own music tastes are pretty...eclectic too, so that's definitely on the list (though right now the api seems to be the bottleneck) I just decided to start with the minimum: just displaying the last played/currently playing song.

It's the api that's the bottleneck here. Implementing caching and queueing now to see if that helps some :)

Good point. I displayed the information after the first lyrics are found, because it becomes useful then, but I've made it immediatelly visible now.

I hadn't made the timing of the event listener pretty yet, it just checks after every keypress now. Will change! Edit: fixed :)

1. http://lystener.com/?username=yourname :) but I'm implementing a http://lystener.com/#!username soon that will get set by the form. 2. it does that, but every 10 seconds as to not completely destroy everyone's api's :) 3. Ouch. Worki

So, I think you all are bringing the lyrics API on it's knees :( I just implemented caching that should alleviate it some, and next up is a queueing system.

Lystener.com takes your last.fm username and display the lyrics for the song you're currently listening to. By simply selecting the lyrics you like you can post them to Twitter or Facebook. Clean interface, easy to use website. In the futur

Thanks, I'll look into it! Opera is a fickle beast ;)

I made Grafico: http://grafico.kilianvalkhof.com it's an opinionated SVG charting library with excellent documentation and lots of customizable options.

Unless you get bored with your friends , I don't know if this much applies apart from the facebook apps.

It depends on what you want. Do you want people to just do whatever they want, then go with MIT or a BSD license. If you want people to contribute back (and 'keep on giving') use one of the GPL licences. Personally I always use MIT. It's no

I really wonder why the nautilus developers aren't working the the Elementary[1] developers more. Nautilus-Elementary is basically a fork of nautilus at this point, and already it is much better and does a lot of the things this article pro

It's interesting to contrast this with games such as WoW and Farmville, which seem to reward endurance more than skill. Interestingly, Cory Doctorow's latest book 'for the win' explores exactly this.

Having tried both xflux for linux and redshift, I have to say xflux works much better. It has a more pleasant hue and fades much less noticeable. I'm actually writing a Gnome-applet for it (with permission of the xflux author) that should b

It would be fun to try and do this with CSS transforms, transitions, :target selectors and a bit of javascript.

Honestly, I would enjoy this. Game theory, and motivations behind a relatively unintuitive split such as this are only understood fairly recently. That the writer(s) of the Talmud (15+ centuries old) already knew this is very interesting.

While true, you'll need a whole lot of slow selectors before your CSS will be the speed bottleneck. It's more noticeable if you use jQuery/other complex javascript DOM selectors, but the solution there is caching or using .find(). JS dom

To paraphrase a generic web2.oh buzzword: "local, local, local". Go to local opencoffees, go to local business meetups (they're there, albeit harder to find, and they have nothing to do with webby stuff and are filled with people to do work
