xmms-scrobbler bug

Hmm
xmms's audioscrobbler plugin was crashing out fairly often for me.
According to their forums this appears to have been the case for a while now!

I had a quick dig thru the code in gdb and have fixed the problem.. someone wasn't checking the return value from a function that returns NULL in certain cases, and was blithely attempted to assign to NULL. *slaps wrist*

Patch available here: XMMS Scrobbler patch vs 0.3.6

My bank rocks

I like my UK bank. They're the only competant company in the UK.

I sent them an email yesterday, saying that I was worried my ATM card was going to expire in January, and that I was going to be on holiday in Australia..
I received a reply to the email promptly, and when I arrived home yesterday evening, discovered a new card waiting for me.

You don't get that sort of service from NatWest or HSBC!

Email down

My domain, shell, website, etc. is being moved to a new hosting provider. This is happening sooner than I thought- ie. in about half an hour.
My email will start bouncing as soon as the old host goes down, however because I didn't adjust the DNS cache time outs in time, the propagation of the new IP may take 24 hours.

If you need to contact me over the next 24 hours, please use my gmail account (dryfter (at) gmail (dot) com) or just call me.

Thanks

PS. I added SPF records while I was at it; once you can see them, I'd appreciate it if anyone knowledgeable could tell me if I got them right or wrong..
