jQuery Code Snippets (from jMe)

Just a few jQuery code snippets I’m using on the jMe feed aggregator that may be useful to some:

Here’s a small tip that I hope will be […]

How to play AVI files in iTunes 6

Yesterday at the “one more thing” show, Apple revealed a bunch of new products, one of them was iTunes 6 with added support for video. However, if you have a lot of the popular .avi movies (DivX) on your disk, iTunes 6 will not let you manage them as the video support is limited to […]

How to show your last songs on a blog

I’m sure you’ve already noticed the “Recently Played Songs” list on the right side of this blog (in case you not only read the RSS feed). Here’s how you can achieve the same if you run a WordPress based blog. You need three things:
1. Download and install the Audioscrobbler Plugin. This iTunes plugin and menubar […]
