Never gonna give you up…

IMMS: Intelligent Multimedia Management System

This XMMS plugin is AWESOME. It’s a database-driven playlist plugin for XMMS that sits there and learns your music taste and likes/dislikes… and then it adapts the shuffle of your playlist to play songs that you like more often than songs you don’t like.

It’s fair, too. Even unfavored songs have a (small) chance of being played.

My playlist has over 2100 songs on it, so this plugin is awesome for me. It makes the random shuffling random in ways that I like! While AC/DC is still on my playlist, it won’t show up very often since I rarely listen to AC/DC songs (except Hell’s Bells… That song’s just cool…).

If you use XMMS, you should try out this plugin. It’s just a plugin, no patching. The only dependencies are XMMS (duh) and SQLlite.

    And on a completely unrelated note…

    The Wallace College Tri-State Math and Computer Science Olympiad was Friday [the Dothan trip]. I managed, somehow, to pull off a 143 on the Computer Literacy test [which earned me second], and a 184 on the Microcomputer Applications test, which SHOULD’VE earned me 1st place, but they fouled up the scantrons. They’ll call back and [I assume] correct their error sometime this week.

    See, they gave me third place, and the guy who got first place was on the Choctaw team. We graded our tests together (before the judging); he got a 113, and I got a 184. So we hassled the judges about it together. He was really cool about it all, and I had to convince him not to feel bad for sitting next to the first place trophy :D

    Yup. So now y’all know!
