Updates
I got bored of atomiku.com's layout again and decided it would be a good idea to update the layout. Enjoy. As well as the new layout, I also added a new page: "News Archive", It's pretty self-explanatory so I'm not even going to bother telling you what the page is for (lol).
I also updated the "Producer Name Generator" page with some new names. For those who have no clue what this is for, or what the point of it is, I'll give you a breif explanation now:
There is a genre of music out there known as "Handsup" or "Commercial Trance" or even "Dance" to some of you. Think of Cascada or Bass Hunter, it basically sounds like that. Anyways, I noticed that most producers have the same sort of names such as:
- Flash Tunez!
- Banana Inc
- Partystylerz
- Freestylerz
Basically: Generic names, generic music. That's how the "Producer Name Generator" was born, it will basically generate a crappy, generic name that "Hands Up" music producers are most likely to use. Well, now you know!
The benefits of Google Analytics
In an attempt to write more interesting things for atomiku.com, I'm going to write a little bit about Google Analytics today. If you already use Google Analytics on your website then stop reading now, I'm only going to be going through the basics.
So, what is Google Analytics? It's an amazing web application that allows you to see the performance of your website. It saves down all sorts of information such as what browsers your visitors are using, where they came from, what keywords they used to find your site on google, what screen resolution they're using and all sorts of other interesting and important information. Although, I'm not going to go through it all because it would take absolutely ages.
I recommend Google Analytics to anyone who runs a website and is interested in what is going on with their visitors. To get Google Analytics installed and working on your website, the first step would be to go to http://www.google.com/analytics/. If you already have a google account (Which you WILL have if you use GMail) you can click "Access Analytics" and login as normal. If you don't have a google account, click "Sign Up Now" and get yourself registered.
Once you're logged into Google Analytics, you should be given a sign up page if you've never used it before. Click the sign up button and get the form filled in. Once you're all done, you will be given a block of javascript code to put at the top of your website, in the <head> tags. Get that put in and you're all ready to go! You'll have to give the analytics data some time to update, it appears to be updated daily so you may have to wait till the next day to see anything interesting.
Well, hopefully I've covered everything. Do leave me a comment if you found this helpful, or if you need more help. Thanks, and enjoy! :)
Getting your keyboard’s media keys to work with Foobar2000
Having a problem with your media keys only working when the Foobar2000 window is active? I had the same problem, too. Here is an easy way to get them working properly:
File -> Preferences -> General (In the tree on the left) -> Keyboard Shortcuts
Click the "Add New" button in the "Assigned shortcuts" frame, then click inside the input/textbox, located in the "Key" frame. Press your "Play" media key. Check "Global Hotkey". Then, in the treeview which contains all the actions (Such as Clear, Redo, Remove Dead Items, etc) find then select "Play". Repeat this step for the rest of the media keys you have.
Below shows rougly what your preferences window should look like:
No idea why foobar2000 doesn't do this by default, perhaps maybe to stop conflicts with other applications that want to use multimedia keys?
If you have any trouble following this tutorial, do not hesitate to leave a comment and I will get back to you soon as possible :)
