The the last two weeks, I’ve been writing an application with RubyCocoa. I do whatever I can for the day considering I have a day job. Here is my first UI mock.

New Feature out now. Add your last.fm friends radio stations and playlist.

New Feature for LastBridge.net – I have added a small list of station you can now select.

Of course more new features are planned ahead.

It is official LastBridge.net is out for public consumption! Again for those who are lost and don’t know what this “LastBridge” is it’s for listening to your last.fm radio stream on the Roku SoundBridge.I have made a screencast on How To use LastBridge. If anyone still needs help or just want to leave your opinions on this project, leave a comment or two. Thanks.Enjoy!

What? What is this? Well, yeah… it is another project of mine. I call it LastBridge, like the name? its original… anyways.. So LastBridge is a web app for users of the Roku SoundBridge like myself. Basically you can listen to your last.fm music on the SoundBridge without having to install anything or hosting any files. I previously wrote the same thing in a much cheaper less good looking way, in PHP. This time I have rewritten it using Ruby On Rails. As soon as I release it make sure to check it out.

So I use Twitter and overall I like it. It’s cool I post whatever is on my mind at the moment. Sometimes I wonder why I even posted that… but anyways I have created a crosspost script. Update your Twitter status and at the same time update your MySpace status so your, myspace friends can see it.

What do you get when you put together LyFOX & GAMV? you get glideo of course.
A work in progress & by invitation only glideo will be amazing. Still the direction of glideo is not certain but will be worth wild. Look forward to seeing more information about glideo in the upcoming weeks.

MySpace does not have an API so while being bored and trying to find something to do. I wrote some code to create a homebrew/homemade API so its the unofficial MySpace API by me. So go ahead and use it do whatever you want with it. A link back to my site would be really cool or at least some credit.

I wrote some documentation for this and you can test it out here aswell. Go to: http://fernyb.net/myspace/api/ It is also available for download so you can use it with your own server.

Sun, Feb 11, 2007 – Update: GAMV-PHP works now. GAMV Application still does not work but I really don’t have time to fix it, I’m busy working on other projects. If you want to you can fix it. Here is the source code. gamv source code its made in RealBasic.

Update: A fix for this will be available tomorrow.

GAMV (Get AOL Music Videos) is an app to get and watch aol videos. simple as that.

Updated Post

So a while ago, maybe 7 months ago I bought the Roku SoundBridge and I do like it. Recently I have been listening to a lot of last.fm to my personal radio / loved tracks. So while listening to last.fm I didn’t always want the computer to be on so I googled to see if there was any solutions. I found one but it was some kinda server written in python. I didn’t test it but from the read me file it seems you need to have your computer turned on. Which is what I am trying to avoid. Now I came up with my solution.

It’s basically a controller. You can use your a PSP that is if you have one, I do so I use that to control it when I am away from my computer. It uses a playlist file to play your last.fm radio stream. So not only can you use this playlist file with the roku soundbridge but also with other media players and its controlled via a web based controller.

It is written in PHP.
You can download it here. last.fm-for-roku-soundbridge-etc.zip

It’s super easy to setup. Just open the config.php file with a plain text editor and insert your username and password. The password need to be in md5. With Mac OSX you can open up Terminal and get your md5 that way. Type this in the termnial.
md5 -s [your_password]
of course replace [your_password] with your actual password and it then will generate an md5. If your on windows I don’t know how you would get an md5 but I found this app useful to get the md5sum.
fourmilab.ch/md5/ .zip file contain the md5.exe. Enjoy.

Oh yeah before I forget you will need a web server with php installed and with cURL. Thats it.
If you need a free php web host then here is a list 0php.com/free_PHP_hosting.php or you can always just search for one, although it’s always best to just buy web hosting its not expensive.

Okay so I am trying to create this cool map. I won’t go into detail but this is where you guys come in, If anyone knows how to retrive the lat/lon from a map, that is when you click on an area of the map it should return the lat/lon. Lets say you don’t the address of a location then how can you geotag it? Other than clicking on the map and tag it that way. So please let me know if anyone knows how to do this. thanx.

Okay nevermind now. I have this all figured out.

Okay so here is the update on yahoo’s flash video .flv. After doing some poking around I learned that they use something called RTMP (Real Time Messaging Protocol). So I was looking deep and I just could not yet find a way to download the videos in .flv.

Here are my notes I took down while I was poking through all that shit it also includes the files I looked at. View My Notes
Oh yeah and here is the video I was watching while I was trying to figure all this stuff out.

phpLYFOX is completed. What is phpLYFOX? It is simply a way to watch yahoo music videos for us Mac users since Yahoo absolutely doesn’t care to provide Macintosh users access in other words its web based. So here you go my mac friends. Try it out phpLYFOX or you can download the source code here phpLYFOX.zip
