The above pictures are Halloween Pictures from Work.

We had a wonderful pot luck and feast, and practically everyone dressed up or at least put something on out of the ordinary. It was a blast.

Halloween Party 2006

The Secondo/Lake/Colter Halloween Party of 2006 went off without a hitch. There were even more kids this year! I have posted the pictures on Shutterfly. You can also check out the gallery for some of the pictures, although not all of them are there.

Audioscrobbler.com - No More TopAlbums.xml

Audioscrobbler.com took away the topalbums.xml listing, so I setup a perl script to download the data I need (weeklytopalbums.xml and others), and added a cron job to run the update every 12 hours. I still use the recent tracks directly off of audioscrobbler (otherwise they wouldn’t be recent).

To view the perl script click here. If you use it you will need to create the images and xml folders and modify some lines. Then you can pull the xml data directly from your own site/server.

If you have any ideas on how to make my little perl script better, go for it, I am by no means a perl expert, and don’t write in it that often.
