Digital Music Collections

Thursday, June 9th, 2005

Jeremy Zawodny posted some thoughts earlier today about digital music collections. He wonders:

Soon, being able to scan your friends music for common discs will be gone too.

I wonder what the digital version of that will be?

I think the aswer to your question is social networking sites like AudioScrobler which monitor your listening habits via various media player plugins (itunes, xmms, etc supported).

Heres my profile… I’ve only been using it a week or two. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to watch the music I listen to on my iPod. I think I listen to completely different things while in my car (podcasts, audiobooks, different music, etc).

A Decade of PHP

Tuesday, June 7th, 2005

that tomorrow June 8, 2005 will mark the 10 year aniversery of PHP.

Thanks to the work of Rasmus Lerdorf, and others, PHP has transformed the face of the web over the last 10 years. PHP has been part of my projects and websites since 1998 when Josh Hyman (1), Ben Reynolds and I created a website for the ThinkQuest competition (although Josh did most if not all the PHP coding at the time). Since then I’ve used it in everything from school projects and personal websites to various internal projects at work.

In addition many of the tools I use in my day to day life would not be possible without the existance of a language like PHP:
– PhpMyAdmin
– WordPress
– SugarCRM
– SquirelMail
– Gallery
– dotProject

I’d also like to thank Rasmus for speaking at SCALE 1x back in 2002 at USC:
– Video
– Notes
– Abstract

Heck even the SCALE site is mostly written in PHP 🙂
