To achieve its magic, Vagrant stands on the shoulders of giants. Machines are provisioned on top of VirtualBox, VMware, AWS, or any other provider. Then, industry-standard provisioning tools such as shell scripts, Chef, or Puppet, can be used to automatically install and configure software on the machine.
After falling for Sweetcron and setting up my own online lifestream, I found that using Last.fm’s RSS feed wasn’t giving me enough data – all I was able to work with was the track title (artist – title as a single string) and a link to the last.fm page. This seemed like a bit of a waste, and meant that if I ever wanted to expand my Sweetcron theme in the future, I’d be stuck with this limited set of data to use.
The Last.fm for Sweetcron plugin is a simple tool for populating the feed with a bit more useful information to play with. When enabled, it connects to the last.fm API as the feeds items are added to the database and grabs the extra info.

I recently redesigned this blog once again, and as I did so, I thought about how my perception of blogs in general has changed over the past decade. I realised that I’d been focusing on my own obsession with what was possible, rather than what’s actually useful for the reader. I think that blogs are for their authors first, and their readership second. Writing is inherently about its author, and is a product of their personality and opinions.
