This blog post was going to be very different than the one you see now.  That’s because our DOM code kicked my ass all day yesterday and into the night.  I stopped [...]

Experiments with audio, part II

I’m working on a project to try and expose audio spectrum data from Firefox’s audio element.  Today I document some of my background research and initial first steps at locating this data. The <audio> element is part of the html5 spec, and you can already use it in Firefox 3.5 and above.  Here’s a page that [...]

Experiments with audio, part I

This post marks the beginning of what I expect to be a somewhat regular series of posts in which I will document my thinking, learning, and progress related to some Firefox development.  I say “Experiments” above, because I am going to try a number of things.  First, I’m going to push into a part of [...]
