[Something lame...] Those of you using MSN Messenger would know about the "what am I listening to" feature. It's supposed to work with WMP 9 and above (I think). Basically, when you listen to music on your WMP, the whole world can see what you're listening to. I thought that was a pretty cool feature, but I couldn't enable it because:
There's just one problem. Before you can enable the feature inside MSN, it'd check to see if you have version 9 (I think, couldn't remember) of WMP. If not, you're not allowed to enable the feature. Since I've never downloaded a newer version of WMP, that puts me out of the game. I downloaded WMP 10, installed it (with no intention of using it) and enabled the feature in MSN. Fired up my Winamp, and it works. That was the easy part. Now I have to clean up the mess installing WMP 10 left behind. I had to re-assign my file type associations so that the multimedia files I want to be played in WMP 6.4 would be played in WMP 6.4. I spent a lot of time there, because I forgot about a quicker way. After that, I had to permanently disable a service used by WMP 10. All that, just so I can display on MSN what I'm listening to. This is beyond lame. ^^^ by Locksley @ 9:13 PM.

Broken for now. :( If anyone knows of a good way to display tweets without using Twitter's awful looking widgets, please let me know. Preferably something that allows me to retrieve my tweets in plain-text format.
