i found a cool page talking about how to embed an audio player into tumblr pages, and decided to try making one. an hour later i found out that it wasn’t as cool an idea as the page made it seem, so i went in a completely different direction and ended up building good night, outer space instead.

[http://GNOS.tumblr.com]


the page is powered by tumblr, and the player is a product of last.fm, a site that i am in a love-hate relationship with. for those unfamiliar with it, last.fm is basically a music related social networking site that allows you to listen to music as well as network with the many other users. the downside is that you’re limited in what you can listen to, and all the widgets available to bloggers are sub-par. anyways, it’s currently the only option i have, so i went with it.

it’s nothing fancy, and i’m not pleased with the player’s current position, but i’m sleepy, so i’ll shift it around again tomorrow. oh, and if you’re wondering why the site is titled “good night, outer space,” it’s because i used “gnos,” or “song,” backwards for the site’s URL. then i brought up the idea of making GNOS into an acronym, and [info]valkie came up with “good night, outer space.” Posted 3 years ago with 0 notes
