Download songs from Blip.FM

posted by Jack Burnt

1) Install DownloadHelper for Firefox.
2) Listen to a song you like on Blip.FM.
3) Click the DownloadHelper arrow at the top right.
4) The song will be listed, select it and download.

I was listening to Blip.FM last night when that damn, bouncing DownloadHelper icon caught my eye. I checked to see what it found and it was the linked MP3. Blip just links to hosted MP3 files. That’s how you add your own.

Awesomely, if the song is fully loaded, it’s already downloaded!

Windows 7

posted by Jack Burnt

Currently I'm backing up Amanda's shit so I can upgrade to Windows 7. It's a beta, but that's fine. It's a beta until August. August is fucking far away. Fuck, when August comes, I'll be 27. I don't want to be 27. That's fucking close to 30. 30 is the age when you die, by the way. Twenties are when you are old enough to be a man, but still young enough to be a boy. When you're 30, you're just 30. Anyway. That's far away.

Today we went and dried close, as the previous post will disclose. I didn't actually do anything but listen to music and check Twitter. But I was there for support. I got Amanda on Twitter (PattyMcHottoots) but I don't think she sees the pleasure in Twitter yet. She'll learn. 

We've been watching a lot of 30 Rock and it's good. I saw the first episode when it came on and wasn't impressed. But it gets better and better. Also, I think I was burned by the fact that my precious Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip was getting cancelled. I fucking loved that show, especially Mathew Perry. Oh well, I still have Friends

Anyway. Once shit is ready, I'll install Windows 7. I hope all works out. I still want to play WoW tonight.

RSS? Really Simple, Stupid!

posted by Jack Burnt

Or something. I used RSS for a while now with comics and a couple other sites, but, until recently, I just had a folder I clicked in Firefox to view the posts. Not too spectacular. But today I found Brief, a Firefox addon, that is too awesome. Now I'm addicted to RSS feeds.

In other news, I sent back my Rock Band guitar today. So hopefully I'll get that soon. I like GH3's controller (which is good since I'm using it in the mean time), but I love the solo buttons on the Rock Band one. I also got Avatar on the 360 and "beat" it in 1 minutes. When I say "beat," I mean I got 1000/1000 gamerscore from it. What a cheesy game, but I'll take it.

Tomorrow I get off at 2:30. I should have Resident Evil: Extinction on Blu-ray when I get home tomorrow. Sunday we're going to the new Sam's Club. It opened today, but no way am I going today. It should be a blast thought.
