I just finished up working on this project for the guys at Further Creative (http://www.furthercreative.co.uk). Peter's work has to be the best content I've ever had to work with. It made the job really enjoyable and I'm not bored of it now even after the release.

How I like to use my Premium Spotify account!

A friend asked me about how I listen to Spotify when going through bad 3G receptions areas. I responded by saying: I think you'll find that there is a cache for tracks that you've already listened to - at least that last 100 - 200.Otherwise you're kind of stuck with being connected if you're listening to music for the first time. If you're anything like me though you can stock up on music before you head home or head out in the morning. I find that I'm only likely to want to listen to around 60-200 tracks which I keep synced all the time. So this is how I've been using Spotify for the last few months, not saying you should but I've found it pretty useful:

Create a playlist called 'unheard' and on your iPhone and enable it as an offline playlist (so that it syncs automatically).

Create a playlist for the month you're in (so for example this month I've called mine 201107)

Add any music you're interested in listening to in your Unheard playlist and sync it over wifi, if you can, before you get on the train.

When you like a track, move it to your monthly playlist

When you don't like a track, delete it from your unheard playlist

I find that this works because when I'm in the office or at home I can do everything from my PC on the Spotify client on my computer,  and all you have to do is make sure your playlists are set to sync on your iPhone. I end up only keeping my last two months and Unheard playlists synced so it saves space, it normally gets me through train journeys.

It looks so good. Please don't let it be as complicated as Wave. [Hope].

IE9 click event handler firing /called twice, OK in compatibility mode.

IE9 click event handler firing /called twice, OK in compatibility mode and solution (jQuery)

I just noticed some strange behaviour in IE9.

Code fragment: 

function bindCtrl(){ $('#smallccontrol a').bind('click', function(e){ e.preventDefault(); if(smallCEnabled){ removeSmallC(); }else{ enableSmallC(); } smallCEnabled = !smallCEnabled; return false; }); }

It worked in all modern browsers except IE9. When I clicked the anchor matching '#smallccontrol a' the function was called twice. 

The site was using jQuery 1.3.2 which admittedly is a little old. 

Solution:

I used live instead of bind which fixed the problem: So the updated code : 

function bindCtrl(){ $('#smallccontrol a').live('click', function(e){ e.preventDefault(); if(smallCEnabled){ removeSmallC(); }else{ enableSmallC(); } smallCEnabled = !smallCEnabled; return false; }); }

The term 'Mock Objects' has become a popular one to describe special case objects that mimic real objects for testing. Most language environments now have frameworks that make it easy to create mock objects. What's often not realized, however, is that mock objects are but one form of special case test object, one that enables a different style of testing.
