No one seems bothered about merging a submodule conversion from a branch in git

This is the only message I found in the google, and no ones answered it. I managed to figure out a horrible workflow to do it for one submodule conversion.

make a new branch at your current branch head
reset your branch back to the commit before you added the submodule
merge the branch you where trying to merge at this point
rebase the future work on top of this new head
force this new head to be the head of the branch you had

It makes your brain hurt, and is not very friendly to others that then have to pull it. There must be a better way.

Scrobbletron

Well my mpd → last.fm scrobbler is starting to take shape at http://github.com/adamj/scrobbletron hardly the amazing thing I envisioned yet, but it works.

Next step is to have it save my tracks so it doesn’t loose the scrobbles if last.fm is down like yesterday. And maybe some way to love a track. Thinking Shoes might be a good way to bring it into a graphical world, since ruby-cocoa docs are a bit short unless you’re already a cocoa pro.

I fail at blogging

Have beer but no food at the moment. Been so lethargic lately I haven’t really done much.

Gonna start making a mpd → to last.fm scrobbler probably in ruby and ruby-cocoa.
