This application has since been updated. Read about the current version of iTunes Playlists to Xml. Version 1.4 of iTunes Playlists to Xml is now available for download. Download iTunes Playlists to Xml 1.4. What it does While iTunes has an Xml export option, it will export only those tracks from your computer, doesn't allow you to choose what data to export (unless you play with the view), uses a bulky Xml format, and won't export from other sources (like iPods).

Based on metamorph_watercircles, and converted for use with BlogEngine.NET, watercircles is now in use on my site. The theme has a deal of special inline modifications for my own particular purposes, so it's not generally available for BlogEngine.NET users, but if you're interested ... Comments welcome. (I'm sure I'll find things I missed as the weeks go by, but any findings are appreciated.)

The following email was sent moments ago, to the contacts listed for the two addresses below. Greetings, This morning, from approximately 2:15 to 2:30 am, a number of spam messages were posted to the blog at strivinglife.com/words/ . These comments all originated from the ip 216.8.168.77, for which you are listed as the abuse contact. Because of the way this particular system is setup, and the time between comments, this seems to have been an actual human being posting these comments.

I may get to some of these early, but here's a listing of things that I'd like to get done in July 2009. For the most part, they are technical things. Speed-up my iTunes Playlists to Xml application. The generation of the Xml output takes longer than I would like, and if a DataTable makes sense, it would be worth caching the playlist so clicking on the playlist again doesn't cause another, slow, load.

This application has since been updated. Read about the current version of iTunes Playlists to Xml. Version 1.2 of iTunes Playlists to Xml is now ready for download. Download iTunes Playlists to Xml version 1.2. This update should correct issues when the playlists are changed, as well as when the source is ejected. Instead of immediately connecting to iTunes, the application now allows (and requires) that you manually begin that process.

To a very large extent, I consider myself to be a gamer. Around the time the NES came out, my family picked up an Atari 2600, used. I don't know who sold it to us, but I can remember going with my dad to pick it up at my school's playground (that was the meeting place). At a later point we picked up an NES, via my dad, and then my mom bought us a SNES.

I don't really believe in making New Year's resolutions, since it's something people do, knowing that they're going to fail at. In my opinion. So, for my 28th, I'm doing something a little different, in that I'm declaring that I will continue to do what I've been doing, for a couple of key items. No more soda I've been off soda for a couple of months, and before that I was down to just one-ish a day.

I back-dated my first piece of jQuery code, but have decided not to with my second. Anyways, I had a hard time finding code, written in jQuery, to pull data from an Xml file and add it to a page. Combining a couple of tutorials online, I created the following (on April 27). This was for a message, so I started out with the Xml file, creating something like this:
