After seeing this over at Engadget it got me interested as to how easy writing a search plug-in for Firefox (the best web-browser of late) would be. It’s Sunday, I’m feeling a bit weak and lacking in design creativity after last night’s pub crawl, I’ve got about as far I’m going to on my Ballagroove website tasks so I thought I’d take a break and look at some source, then wander over to the official home of these things. It’s not really worth knocking something up a dedicated browser plug-in for Ballagroove, but it would be for what’s become my favourite site of late: Boing Boing, which is the website equivalent of Rhysical Pheck artists Gypo & Jo’s house (amazingly cool, in other words). A few cups of tea and a couple of slices of my gran’s gingercake (which is awesome) later:

Boing Boing Firefox plug-in – Boing Boing: A Directory of Wonderful Things (click the link to install).

If you’re interested in taking a look at its source, open the following up in your favourite text editor:

Currently listening to the Rough Trade Counter Cuture 2002 compilation and the Journeyman is right: Willis‘s “Take You High” is beautiful! I need to buy their album. Still feel a bit weak, better get some more tea & cake! 🙂

The legendary John Peel has passed away. The BBC site also carries his obituary and there’s also an article on the NME. I’m absolutely gutted, don’t know what to say. There are very few people that deserve the words of hero or legend, and John Peel was one of them. A very sad day for music indeed; my heart goes out to the Pig and his kids 🙁

Yes, I’ve finally got off my lazy arse and started doing more work on the website so, a few months later than promised (!), the full Black Label BGK01 compilation is available for download at last. Get it over at the Ballagroove Downloads Page (it’s right at the top) and, if you use iTunes, get the artwork too (create a playlist with all the songs then drag & drop the image onto the artwork pane).
Now that that’s out, I guess we better start on the second one 🙂 Plenty of other things are in the pipeline for the site, too, now that I’ve got my Powerbook properly rigged-up for web development, but I better not promise anything just yet otherwise I’ll get loads of stick as to why it’s Christmas already and all that stuff I said I’d do still isn’t sorted yet! We’ll send out another e-mail when there is some progress, anyway, so make sure you’re subscribed to the mailing list 😉
