last fm is down! hold me… pu-leeez

no scrobbling… no listening to Mark and Tom’s sweet sweet indie rock playlists… and Slaff’s pumpin’ dance beats, or mopatop’s crazy rave mixes… wha- wha- whaddam i gunna do now?

breathe in. breath out. calm yourself… AND to make matters worse, on September 5th, my bff Facebook launched their “public listing search” which means that your profile picture and full name and your network & friends names (if you haven’t set your privacy settings) are searchable by anyone, even if they not belong to facebook. They now have ability to search for you and message you, poke you, or add you as a friend.

Sweet.

And by the end of the month, Fb’s public search listings will be opening up to the entire www via search engines. That means that Google have your number and that annoying ex-boyfriend you’ve been trying to hide from for like 3 years will be able to Googly you easy peazy!

My opinion: “That Sucz Big time Fb!” — and you can quote me.

My advice: “Lock up your privacy settings tiiiiigght! OR *run far far away* AND join twitter! yay!

i will now just go sulk in a corner whilst listening to unscrobbled music on my ancient iPod Mini (that is still kicking… mostly. battery life approx. 8 mins or about one Sigur Rós song.)

gotta love auto-fill. the tonguesucker looks pretty sweet. i’m quite fond of the Oro-pharynx, in fact my entire MA thesis is about the development of sounds in that area:

This thesis attempts to fill the gap in the phonetic and articulatory description of the infant vocal capacity by investigating the exploration and development of the laryngeal mechanisms involved in the production of laryngeal phonation and laryngeal pitch. In order to account for the productive capability of infants, it is necessary to consider the vital role of the primary articulator in the adult and infant larynx, the aryepiglottic laryngeal sphincter. The mechanism of the laryngeal sphincter is actively engaged in early infancy to protect the tracheal airway from inundation.

and you can quote me, Lisa D. Bettany, Master of Linguisics.

If you don’t understand, that’s ok. I’m smarter than most people.

I’m gonna have to take your word on it Ms. Bettany (smarter than mostly) …

The Tongue Sucker is an oropharyngeal airway device specifically developed to be used by untrained persons on unconscious casualties. Located in first aid boxes, it is designed to prevent the obstruction of the oropharynx, or throat, by the tongue and may also assist in compression only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

McPaige thanks so much for letting me know about that broken link. I’ve fixed it now.

Well, whoever says you can’t add Last.fm because of Java, or HTML, or any other widget is just not knowing what he or she is talking about, and it does not matter if it is a blogger or the owner of the damn WordPress. I have been developing websites for 10 years, and if the staff here is not competent enough to allow java AND still protect THEIR butt, well guess what it is not my business.

Do like me, got to Blogger. I spent 1 hour figuring out everything I can’t do here, and it took me 1 minute to add Last.fm widget with all the java it contains on Blogger.

Bottom line, the problem is not Last.fm, it is not you, it is not me, it is not java, it is WordPress!
