A Japanese update
Well, since I’ve finally found some free time I’ve decided to post some results (of one of those personality tests) that I stumbled upon when I was reading Haruna’s blog. You can take it at Love type check! Here are my results: Apollon(アポロン) 英語名：Apollo(アポロ) です。 ■神話 太陽神として知られる、音楽と医療の神。 神話の中では明るく陽気な性格で竪琴を奏でる色男として登場します。 神々の中でも2枚目として通っていた彼ですが、女性には振られまくっています。 美形でも軽い男は女性には好かれないようです。 ■性質 あなたは愛想がよく、女性男性問わずに周りから好かれるタイプ しかも失敗を恐れずにいろいろなことにもチャレンジします。 大きなことにチャレンジして、一発当てることができるのもアポロンの特徴です。 楽天的なところがあるので、あまり沈みこまないところも良いところです。 いつも明るいおかげで、周りも明るくなり、みんな安心してあなたと付き合うことができます。…

Copyright Infringed
So the author of Listen has taken code from Quod Libet (including code from my lyrics plugin) and ripped the copyright section (and my name) out and used it in his software. Now the code is GPL so I’m completely fine with him using it, it’s why I write open-source code, but removing my name…
