ZLM 2004-11-25:
One of the main events of 2004 for me was the discovery of KEXP, a Seatlle based non-profit radio that broadcasts live on the Internet at http://kexp.org/ . I now listen to a lot of new music that I probably wouldn't know about otherwise.
I listen to it mainly at work, with my headphones to keep out the background noise of my open space. The station has a live playlist that I check whenever something nice is playing that I don't recognize.
I wrote this Windows Tcl script to avoid having to launch Opera and checking the web page so many times. At first I thought about displaying the song information on Winamp itself, but I took a look at the Winamp SDK and thought "pois.. talvez isto não seja grande idéia, Zé...". Anyway I never have Winamp visible, not even in the System Tray, so why bother?
So this simply uses Winico to display an icon in the System Tray (a nice yellow tea mug in my case) that shows the song information on the associated text whenever I pass the mouse pointer over it. Clicking the icon updates the song information, double-clicking toggles auto-updating on/off and right clicking exits. For the moment that's all the UI I need.
I am using some procs plundered here on the wiki: wsplit [L1 ] by Salvatore Sanfilippo, every [L2 ] by RS, and toggle [L3 ] by KPV. I use wsplit all the time, I wish something like it was part of the core Tcl.
