Using Auto HotKey to Ignore Radio Commercials

I love the music on di.fm but I HATE the commercials. They make me physically ill. Since I can’t quite afford an account, I’ve decided the next best thing is muting the commercials. Unfortunately, I often forget that I have it muted and I site there with the sound off until something in my brain clicks. Anyway, the point is, why remember, when I can write a program to remember for me?

I downloaded Auto Hotkey and googled for a hot second and came up with this little gem:

^+m::
SoundSet, +1, , mute

#Persistent
SetTimer, Unmute, 10000
return

Unmute:
SoundSet, +1, , mute
SetTimer, Unmute, Off
exit

Now, whenever I press ctrl+shift+m, it mutes for 10 seconds. Whoop whoop!

Oh hey, I’m still here

I just moved into a new apartment, started a new job and didn’t have the internet for ~a week. I’ve been working on some other projects and I’ll be sure to start posting about them soon.

In the mean time, if you’re bored and you like quick decision making / fast paced gameplay or just first person shooters in general, you should check out Nexuiz. Nexuiz is free, open source and runs on all platforms (windows, osx, linux).

Here’s two examples of the fast paced action via flag caps:

flag cap one
flag cap two

Hope to see you on.
