One of the fun things about the site is that you earn reputation by saving and “hearting” songs. As the songs gain popularity, your reputation on the site grows. There are also quests to complete, such as listening to a certain number of songs from a particular section of the site or at a certain time of day. My current task is to listen to at least 20 times more songs than I give hearts to in a particular day, with a minimum of 5 songs awarded hearts. I have about 10 songs left, but my laptop is insisting that it can’t connect to the network. This is the same network to which my iPhone has happily attached itself, despite having a much smaller antenna than that of the laptop.

I’m definitely not feeling any love for XP right now. I have a feeling that a complete reinstall will be happening soon. Who knows, it may actually get a real OS installed instead.
