Comments Feature Added

New feature

I have added a new commenting system using Utterances through GitHub. This is an experimanetal feature for me since I am not very active, nor do I “promote” my site. This is a test to see how I like it, and to see how well it works.

I have seen it used on other sites and it has been reported to be pretty good at filtering out spam & nonsense. My chosen theme, Bilberry-Hugo-Theme, supports it out of the box. I was also inspired to try it by a video I saw from Chris Titus Tech.

Capture Track Info

SUCCESS!!! In a prior post I talked about re-discovering Internet streaming radio. I am enjoying listening to TheEL.US and I love their variety of Rock, Blues, and Metal. Their library spans decades and they play stuff you’d never hear on a corporate station.

What does this have to do with code & scripting?

Well, I use the mpv CLI tool to stream the station from a terminal. Each time the song (track) changes I get a message with the artist / title. I decided I wanted to start capturing the song info, as it’s played, to review later and get ideas for music to purchase.
