Move along, nothing to read

So a while ago, I signed up for last.fm, finding it amusing that an idea I had during the first year of university, and couldn't figure a way to capitalize on, has come alive on it's own. I guess this should count as prior art against last.fm. Started 28th January 2002 and finished writing it 7th Febuary 2002 according to the original timestamps on the files - and I used it until August 2004 on my own systems :-)

For our art class (New Media Images [NMI]), we were required to create a piece of unique art, in Flash, that utilized some form of live data via the internet. Most of the class were using webcams or stock market data. I wasn't happy with this, and wanted to do something else. Using the OnSongChange plugins for WinAmp and XMMS, I rigged up a little webapp that recorded songs as called by the URL. Then on top of that data a little XML/CSV provider for the data.

Here's where I blogged about it originally: http://robbat2.livejournal.com/2002/01/30/
The main web interface is broken, but the raw data feeds are still available, as are the flash interface.
Raw data XML interface - seems that Firefox doesn't like a DTD at the top of the document, but view source shows it fine.
Live flash display applet - Works fine, shows the last entry from 2004
Art project data consumer - Doesn't connect properly anymore (URL changes and I can't open the flash master file to update it), but everything else works

Anyway, bringing this full circle, now that I'm using last.fm, I rigged up a new display on my webpage for the XML data from last.fm. Last.fm Statistics. The sources to it (one shell file, 2 XSLT files) are on the bottom of the page.

Oh, and LiveJournal needs a larger music field, I'm now listening to: Perfect Remixes Vol. 2 - 2004/Joe T. Vannelli ft.Csilla - Voices in Harmony (PVD Csilla In Wonderland Remix).
Which horridbly doesn't fit at all.
