A notch above a monkey

Terminology

It’s normal and expected that part of every industry’s terminology will look weird or even obtuse to outsiders. But when a music executive, in an otherwise very interesting podcast , keeps referring to music lovers as consumers and to act of listening or even enjoying music as consuming it, it just makes me want to rip his jugular out scream.

There’s not any less of it after I’m done listening and I wasn’t hogging it in the first place.

Marela widget III

Summer is closing to the end, so is my offer and I won’t be posting new widgets for a while. This last one, stemming from obviously borrowed idea, looks like this:

It’s still very small (less than 7K) and still works in all major browsers. It even works (without a problem) in Safari and image selection collision code works too. If you like it, you can add it to your own page with:


<script type="text/javascript" src="http://markos.gaivo.net/marela/random16.js?username=markos&tag=moja-izbira&time=3"></script>

You should, as previously, replace:

  • my username (markos) with yours
  • select a tag of your chosing
  • set time lag in seconds between image replacements

As always you’re free to copy the script or link to my page to use the latest version.
