You heard it right! Now that Microsoft has somewhat opened up their Zune player to Windows Live Messenger status updates, I’ll be trying to gather now playing song info in realtime directly from the Zune player. But I may need a complete rewrite of Zuse in C++. I’m sorry for my lack of effort in development on the current version of Zuse. I have been busy in bigger projects.
Stay tuned.
Currently I’m working hard to improve the functionality of my first social application. I’m also bring it to MySpace and Bebo. It is already on Facebook. It should be finished by the end of June.
There are bugs, so just get over it. It will, however, detect if there’s a new song or songs on your Zune profile to scrobble but won’t be able to tell you which song or songs just quite yet. Hopefully I figure out why it still sometimes tells you all your recently played songs on Zune are songs you played hours ago… (sometimes it does this and other times it does not.) I’m pretty sure this is directly related to cacheing on possibly both the client and server side.
I’m not promising I will fix every bug that exists in this new version, but I will do my best to pinpoint and locate the troubled areas in the code.
Thanks for your understanding and continued support.
Enjoy the new build.
Although I’m seeming to have a problem related to fetching a non-cached fully updated recent song list from Zune Social, everything else, including detection of songs newly played. I’m starting to believe that Microsoft has started trying to block requests from my program. But that’s probably not the case, even so, their caching methods are tripping up me and the continued development of Zuse.
I’ve already started to plan 2.0 release features. More details soon.
Sorry guys, I have to delay the next release of Zuse for a while… it’s getting quite complicated. If anyone wants to help and knows C#, feel free to contact me.
Just post a comment on this post with your email address, screen name, or whatever works for you.
Once again, sorry… I’m not going to set another date publicly though. And don’t ask when it will be done. It will be released when it’s complete.
SharpIM was originally a instant messenger server and client library I started back in 2005. It was orignally called TakIM. It’s written entirely in C# and currently works using .NET or the Mono framework. It uses it’s own custom IRC-like protocol. The first version will be released sometime this year.
It’s big, it’s good, it’s fixed and it’s coming to your box no later than Feb 18th! This is a bit of a wait for such a big release. I’m busy with school work, homework, life and other projects, but rest assured it’s coming.
Stay tuned.
Zuse is a tool I wrote for submitting your recently listened tracks from the Zune software to Last.fm. Zuse works by using the XML from your Zune Social taking from it your recently played songs on the Zune software. Zuse then looks for the song length on a Yahoo Music API. For that information, it determines how long ago the newest track on the list was played. However, I cannot tell exactly when it was played because of the lack of information in the XML retrieved from your Zune Social profile. However what is being worked on is a way to determine what songs have already been submitted to Last.fm.

Me and my friend did some work and found the multiple killing medals. To do this we modified the map to have the only respawn point right in the middle, my friend then stood behind the only respawn point and started assassinated me repeatedly.
Here they are:
Some people probably already knew this because it’s all on Halo3Medals.com. But that’s how to do it if you ever want to try it, try to do it on a small map or otherwise you’re gonna take a couple days deleting all the respawn points. We did it on Guardian. So if you ever get bored! Give it a try!
