This Blog Has Been Deprecated
I am ditching blogger because it is a pain in the ass to update. This is only the case when you are hosting your own files. It has to FTP all the files to my server and for some reason, that takes an awful lot of time. tumblr.com has caught my interest because of the ability to post from almost anywhere and it allows for different kinds of posts. I manually moved most of my posts from Blogger to sudomasochism.com, so I am able to keep all my history. Hopefully, I won't have to move again anytime soon.
My last.fm tagger stuff can be found through this tag.
Good day.

Contributing to Open Source (Substruct)
At Coco, we are starting to build out some e-commerce sites. In order to expedite the process, we are using Substruct as a solution. While working with it, I have noticed a few things that needed to be fixed.
With engines setup properly, you are capable of extending routes beyond what's provided with the substruct engine. This was not the case beforehand. I was able to track down the bug and submit some patches to mend the problem.
If you are using substruct and want to customize it (adding additional controllers either to the admin or outside the admin) you'll need to get the latest substruct. Check out the issue here.
You can find download links there.
Working on open source projects is a lot of fun. It's interesting to see how other people do things. Contributing gives developers like me a boost of confidence. I plan on finding and fixing more bugs in the future for this project and others.

Last Update for a While... Promise!
That is, until I get column sorting going. That's my next task. In this release, I have integrated sparkle updates! I'm so happy about that. Thanks to Fool’s Ruby and Cocoa Workshop, adding sparkle updates was a breeze. Thank you K.M. Lawson!
As always, I will provide a screenshot and updated download link. Get it now!

Please Update
Please download the latest version. There was a problem with using smart playlists. I had to remove them from the playlists dropdown temporarily (or maybe even permanently).

Quick Update
Due to problems with the Universal build, I had to build strictly for 10.5. So, here's a new version with some cool new features. Let me know if you have any problems with it.
