I like to guess the influencer when listening to the last.fm Jyte member radio station.

If it's Belle and Sebastian that's probably me. Sorry about that.

i'm tempted, now, to learn more about last.fm ... but i know my username is taken.

Awww, come on V. I don't know if the strobber will work with MServe, but not joining cuz you can't have your nickname of choice seems silly.

well, any other username, and i'm likely to forget it. unless they take openID.

I could make an.openid proxy service for things like last.

What do you think?

i'm not sure exactly what you have in mind.

I've been thinking about it for a while.

You create an account at last.fm (say) and register the account against your openid with a special service (let's call it auth_proxy).

When you want to login to lastfm you have to use a greasemonkey script to retrieve your username/password from the openid auth_proxy.

oh, i wouldn't use it, then, i think. i don't trust greasemonkey or JS further than i can throw their original authors. and i usually can't find the authors.

thanks for the thought, though -- and it might be great for others.

Couldn't see any other way to do it than that.

Btw... nothing wrong with greasemonkey; the scripts are usually so small you can validate them yourself. That's really the safest kind of code.

yeah, if you know JS, which i basically don't.

Well, learn.
