In relation to the comment on playlists, there is another sort of playlist that I depend on. There are times when I don’t want to have to worry about skipping a track that I really don’t want to hear, such as when I’m out for a run and I don’t want to have to fumble with controls. This playlist is more or less static, and only changes when I change it by hand.
What I’d like to do is export the playlist to a file, so that I can take snapshots and archive it from time to time. There might not be a hugely practical purpose behind this, but it seems like the right thing to do. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find a way to export static playlists with iTunes. I can probably do this with gtkpod, but haven’t had much of a chance to play yet.
While searching around for more information on Wellington’s infrastructure and long term plans, I ran across a couple local blogs that are holding a fair bit of my attention:
There’s heaps of locally directed information and discussion, including a post regarding Wellington’s transportation strategy, complete with extra reading. This will likely postpone my comments regarding the MetLink comment request that I mentioned earlier.
The tranportation system in Wellington, under the unified name of MetLink, is seeking comments on a newly proposed fare structure. The Greater Wellington Regional Council provides an overview, which is very much a mirror of what is contained in the MetLink article.
There is an online brochure, which includes a comment submission form, or paper brochures are available alongside transit maps around the city.
I can’t encourage people enough to read the proposal. Transit is going to be an incredibly important issue in the coming years, and far too many people are far too complacent about its direction.
Just because I feel it’s related, I’m adding in an extra link to Option3, which is trying to put a spotlight on transit use in Wellington.
