We love the web.

Back on the Scene

Triumph!

Rather than posting what has become the “Ryan Special”, a plea for patience due to a lack of posting, I’m changing it up! This time I’m letting you, the dear readership, know that in the coming weeks I will in fact be posting more often.

I’m coming off several weeks of pretty extreme hours, the worst of which was 89 in one 7 day period, which, man. That was hard to type into the old timesheet app. This was the first major site launch I played a fundamental role in however, so I was happy to invest my effort. Website development is a strange union of highly technical programming and pixel precise art, so seeing it all come together, from start to finish has been extremely rewarding. Even if it did lead to exhaustion and far, far too much late night pizza.

In the end though, triumph! What is it that’s demanded so much time and effort from this crashnaut? It’s always sort of hard to know whether you’re supposed to talk about what you work on outside of the office, so I’m not going to name any names. I did notice though, that a certain tire manufacturer has launched a new website. Hmm… Coincidence?

iTunes 7.1 Update - Fullscreen Coverflow

fullscreen coverflow

Apple rolled out an update to iTunes tonight. A mere 36MB download willcoverflow button land you this hot feature: Coverflow in fullscreen! I was digging around the new interface, looking for changes when I notices a little ‘expand’ button next to my albums in Coverflow view. Hitting this button will let you flip through your albums similar to demonstrations we’ve all seen of Apple TV or the iPhone. You get full control of play, pause, skip and volume from this mode so as a listener it’s easy to swith to fullscreen Coverflow and have a digital jukebox at your command.

Speaking of Apple TV, there is also an Apple TV tab now listed in the preferences and Apple TV Help under the Help menu. It seems like the interface between iTunes and Apple TV will be similar to iTunes and AirTunes. You can select the option to ‘Look for Apple TVs’ in the Preferences menu as well as ‘Remove’ connected units.

I also noticed while browsing around that when you Get Info on any given track in your library, you can now fill in ‘Sorting’ metadata. I’m not really sure purpose this data will serve, but when you are browsing the list view, contextual menus now include an ‘Apply Sort Field’ function. Intriguing…

And Now For Some Breakdancing.
