Embed “My Music 2″ Flash Player

My Music 2

My Music 2 is released after some sleepless nights.

Improvements from “My Music 1″ its not internal with rewrites for engine codes, but go beyond implementing some new ideas planned. The new application is also open for the public which means you do not need to be a facebook user, nor required installations, to use it.

Among one of its features is song embed function which I’m testing below.

Other improvements include keyboard input, improved timings accuracy, instruments selection, learning/game function, and one of the most powerful function, a search for finding and learning music. The search engine is powered by musipedia which now uses My Music interface to provide them a rich searching experience.

There’s also a blog for My Music, which shares more information from developments to motivations of the application.

Remember to check out the app and have fun!

Twitter Timeline Updated

In my previous post Timeless Belt Of Time: How I Integrated Twitter in Timeline, I posted the code for laying out twitter posts on the timeline.

Previously that was done by calling the json Twitter API. It work well for the current 20 status but the archive call (80 posts) didn’t work. I filed a bug report at Twitter, but when I last check again 3 days ago, it was still not working.

To implement a workaround for archives, I modified my server side php code to get the XML format. SimpleXML was used for parsing the xml, then since my server didn’t support json, I use the json library from pear php.

Here’s the updated code for download.

Recently, I have a regain interest in adobe products, namely flash lite and flex. My first flash lite app is a Metronome, and maybe I might post it if I polish it up.

Visitors Around The World

Alright, for a little fun with toys here’s a tracker which shows where in the world, my web visitors are from on the world map. If you have noticed too, the wordpress engine, plugins and themes I’m using now are updated.

Here’s the statistics page and map from http://whos.amung.us/.


Back @ Home

I’m finally back after spending most of my nights away from home after exams.

The time spent at Tanjong Puteri camp was very good and time passed quickly. There was recreational time, where I retouched soccer, basketball, table-tennis, squash, and swimming. Food and space was abundant, but more the fellowship I enjoyed, and the opportunity to listen to the many touching testimonies. Messages by Rev Tan and Yong impacted me the most, and the theme on Nehemiah, was clear as if I was brought there with a time machine.

Today would be the start of my internship with ByteSquare which would carry on into my 1st week of my next semester. I’ll be working on MyHomeTone and the FaceBook platform. Hometone is a Call & SMS service which allows international calls (to your handphone) and sms at a cheaper rate.

Activities, experiences on my new job would be written at my separate developer’s blog.

Busy Exciting Holidays

Although exams are over, life’s not a single moment less hectic than school term.

So here’s the track for my trip from KL back to Singapore on Aeroline on Monday.
KL-SG

Tuesday to Friday is Music Camp in school, where there’s fun practicing music, playing games, attending Masterclasses, eating, talking, running to and fro places, losing sleep.

Lots of moments are going on other than myself eg. Brother’s back from Malaysia & Daddy’s going into Malaysia. Next Monday we are going in again. Then Christmas, then new year, then work, then school’s reopening.
