As recently mentioned, I've been working on my own music player as a feature replacement for Mike Oliphant's DigitalDJ, since DigitalDJ is abandoned, unmaintained, and de facto dead.  My new player is now officially named PerlJammer (thanks to [livejournal.com profile] perspicuity for the excellent name suggestion), and it's complete except for some of the supporting tools to allow it to be used by people without an existing DDJ-compatible SQL music database.  As an amusing side note, some of the extra features I've added into PerlJammer to replace things I'd had to implement via complex hacks around DDJ have meant that I've been able to massively simplify a variety of my own tools.  About fifteen minutes ago, I realized that I could eliminate my LogJam music-detection helper altogether; all the work the LogJam helper used to do is now done by a single invocation of pjam-remote babylon5 status.

I started my playlist on babylon5 this morning by sending a remote command from whitestar ... just because I could.  MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
