Tool Time Friday | How to take the drudgery out of posting/commenting

Stand back! Here it comes. You’re gonna love this one.

I can type about 50 wpm and then have to go back and correct about 25 mistakes. Not bad for an old fart who suffered from aphasia! Cindy, my beloved, can type 3 times as fast and rarely has to revise. I don’t know how she loves me as, obviously, I’m not her type. (Get it?)

Well, I ran across a friend (had to retype ‘friend’ three times) and he told me about this radio station that is just unbelievable.

Yes, it is.

SO, here’s the deal.

You log on to this station and then click on the section that says “Listen Live” where you’ll land on the page that tells you how to get set up. You should scroll down the page and install WinAmp.

The next step is to launch WinAmp and in the ‘header’ you’ll see a box titled “ShoutCast”. (This is where the real fun begins!)

I’m not going to spoil your fun by telling you anymore – other than this – I choose the selection that included older rock, and when Ted Nugent played ‘Strangehold’ my typing speed went up to about 300 wpm – but I still had to correct 50%, but who cares. Then I selected….

Now you don’t have to listen to some crappy station with commercials when you’re posting.  You can even set up your own play list and listen to your favorite artists while you’re at the coffee shop, or riding on public transport wearing your earbuds, or have to find some ‘quiet’ place while your roommate(s) is raising hell while they’re becoming brain dead from playing with their Xbox for 14 hours straight, or having to hear your mom telling you to take out the trash, get your haircut, stop slouching, clean your room….

Enjoy!

By the way, all the above is free and has more cool goodies than you can shake the proverbial stick at.
