github Meets last.fm

without comments

Recently I have found myself with more ideas than time. So I set about limiting my ideas to time slots and using that time to create some working code. Recently I created githubfm in a spare hour. You enter your github.com username and your last.fm username and with a little bit of cleverness it tells you what you were listening too when you committed your code. It only works for public repositories as there is no oauth taking place. I thought asking people to authorise it might be a step too far.

It’s hosted on Google App Engine and written in Python. It is slightly slow as does quite a few requests to both githubs’s and last.fm’s apis. At some point I will get round to adding some markup as it’s as ugly as it’s possible to be.

The code is available of course at github.com/bassdread/lasthub, go fork it!
