Musicovery.com one ups Pandora in music discovery

Watch out Pandora, Musicovery may have you in its sights. One of the biggest flaws in Pandoras music player is its inability to associate which kind of mood you to recommend music. There is nothing worse than being in the mood for calm and soothing only to be injected with a rather intense beat. Also if you ask someone what kind of music they like it is more likely to get a list of music that they don’t like than what they do like. Musicovery.com cures both of these issues by clicking on your mood and music that you do OR do not like. It also lets you select how popular and the erra of the music.

Buzz-o-phone makes you part of the show with your own sound off

The world is full of complainers and self promoters and wow is it ever cool to listen to people complain all day. I view it as a way of perfecting society, by complaining your way to a less painful existence. In any case Buzz-o-phone is a terribly super easy to create a podcast and be heard by a “few hundred people”. It really is totally addictive to be part of the Buzz-o-phone.com. You will find yourself shaking your head in disgust from some posts and agreeing physically like Silent Bob agreeing that beer is good. Check it out!

Unresponsive script warnings in Firefox

When I upgraded to Firefox 2.0 I started getting some unresponsive script warnings on sites that use quite a bit of Javascript like Gmail. So after digging for quite a while I found a cure to the nagging script issue.

Firefox unresponsive script dialog

To fix it, you’ll need to access the hidden configuration page in Firefox. Just type about:config in the address bar and you’ll get a page full of hidden configurations which you can tweak till your heart’s delight.

In the “Filter” box, type dom.max_script_run_time. This will narrow the options till only the dom.max_script_run_time option remains. Right-click it and choose Modify. A box pops up. Change the number to something bigger like 20. This is the maximum time a script can run before Firefox considers it unresponsive.

If you can’t find the string in the about:config page, create it by right-clicking anywhere and then choose New Integer and enter dom.max_script_run_time. When prompted for the value, use 20.

Beware that some extensions may also cause similar problems.
