I've been working on a way to allow users to log into their Apple accounts on iTunes through cloudTunes. I've been Telneting the iTunes Music Store server through port 443 but I'm not sure I'm sending my request to the right place or whether I'm missing some credentials cos it doesn't respond.

It's been a while since I've written anything — anything that wasn't code that is... I've been really busy with a project for a client. I'll have a link to it up once it's cleared.

I've also been at work on something really neat this week: flyTunes. flyTunes allows you to browse albums from the iTunes Music Store on your browser.
