Depressing Confession
posted on april 29, 2003, tag: software
For the last few months, I've been lying to you. All of you. Worst of all, I've been lying to myself. Well, no, I haven't been lying to myself. Just you. Maybe a little to myself. No. No. Just you. Yeah, just you.
Each and every time you've seen information in my "currently hearing" section (over there on the right), you've assumed that information was coming from my Winamp 2 plugin, CurrentlyHearing. It was not.
You see, I've been using my PowerBook at home, and my G4 at work to listen to music. I haven't used my PC at home for music since January. And since my plugin doesn't work in OS X (obviously), I've been using something else. The sick part is, I've been using this other program's ability to display output however I want to trick my site into thinking it's getting information from CurrentlyHearing. I am a sick, sick bastard.
I've been using Kung-Tunes. So now you know. Hate me if you must, but also know that I'm going to continue lying to people. You can't stop me!
A few more confessions: I like Mountain Dew, sushi, Jackie Chan, cheesecake with those fake cherries on top, Double-Quarter-Pounders with Cheese from McDonalds, and this confession list makes me seem like a fatass. I am not. I also talk to myself a lot. That makes me sound crazy. I am not.

I'm pretty sure he is.

The question is; Does this mean CH is dead? And yes I did read the post that aludes to it's continued developement. Your saying this makes me question that post though...

Fidel: No, CH is not dead. It is, however, on hold. The reasons are many—I've not been using my PC, no high-speed Internet access at home to test with, fucking Delphi, outdated APIs, etcetera—and it's working the way it should right now. The only features I would really like to add are PASV FTP, SSH and POST methods (so you can post to MySQL). Unfortunately, with Delphi, I just can't get these things to work.
If there's someone out there who can, and would like to lend a hand to the development of CH, I would be happy to share code. But, in the meantime, it's gonna have to wait.
It's not dead, though, I promise.

Isn't it funny how our most secret confessions more often than not include indulgent food?
Whoo, that sentence sucked. I should be scolded. Bad technical writer.
I had a sloppy greaseburger from Dairy Queen about a month ago, I had never had one before—and it was SO good. I haven't had one since, but think about it often.
Pregnancy does weird things to you, such as your inner voice saying, "Yeah, a dozen foil-wrapped chocolate eggs are fine, you won't feel sick afterward. Throw a Cadbury Creme Egg in there while you're at it."
I think I'm over my Cadbury Creme Egg obsession. Bleh.
