I then noticed a typo in the install.rdf I uploaded so pushed 0.33 up with possibly the fastest Mozilla extension feature I’ve ever written – took me less than 40min to add a context menu option for library items that opens a new tab with a basic search of the album (or artist if the album tag is null) for that track.  Works for multiple tracks and pseudoThreaded too, just in case.  Will get back on to improving the core feature for 0.4, although it won’t be for at least a couple of weeks.

And finally, I looked at the CDN stuff again and it would appear the aforementioned Google App Engine doesn’t support PHP/MySQL – putting WordPress and this site right out of the equation.  There has been some success in getting WordPress to work but it’s pretty damn fiddly and I’d probably just be better off paying for Amazon’s CDN.  Will revisit at some point.

Ratebird can be found here.

On a side-note, I’ve switched to a better browser detection script as the old one had serious issues with IE8.  I know that browser-sniffing is not a good thing, but it seems to work fine for now (and it’s only really for IE6/7 – everything else gets pretty much the same standards-based HTML/CSS/JS), at least until I sort out some kind of feature detection routine.

And on a completely different side-note, using this page I finally fixed the annoying console error messages that plague Firefox with Firebug and HTML Validator extensions installed.  Hurrah!
