The number of the day is 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0


Digg got told by HD DVD to remove a story about hd-dvd’s processing key from doom9′s forums and now the internet’s basically pissed at them for choosing a sponsor over their users. Digg users are revolting by digging only stories with the key to the front page of digg.

There’s t-shirts, songs, videos, domains, and lots of other creative things containing the key now. ThePirateBay is embracing the numbers.

I’ll wait til andy watches the next episode of diggnation and see if they say anything about it.

Why wont it stop?one!!11eleven!!

Thursday, April 12, 2007

    So, i have story i just MUST share with you all. Over the past month i have had six people come up to me and say, “Greg, my computers broke…..fix it”. I say, “whats wrong”, they reply “idk man! it wont turn on.” Now as you all know, you ask them questions..the same questions you ask everyone else. And they say they don’t know. You boot up the computer. And WHABAM! It wont boot up. I sure diden’t see that coming. So anyway, all these people being the idiots they are, were to stupid to realize the value of safemode. So, i tell them ” Well, you have a problem, ill just boot in into safemode and see what i can do.” ” Whats safemode?!”……..* pain….anger….distress..”……-.-….*sigh* ANYWAY! So, I boot into safemode, go to system restore, restore the system, and be on my way.

Now you probly wondering why i said all this. Well four of the six people….WERE THE SAME PERSON! He dident realize…or understand…after FOUR times how to do system restore.

The moral of the story….People are idiots….don’t let them know your smart.

Gaim == Pidgin

Tuesday, April 10, 2007

I stumbled on this today. Apparently the multi-service and multi-platform im client Gaim changed it’s name to Pidgin a few days ago. They’ve been having legal troubles with AOL since they patented AIM.

It’s still the same program, but now the developers are going to start releasing real versions and not just beta versions. Their new web page is http://www.pidgin.im/

“After a long, and unfortunately secret debate (as we could not say why we were looking at a name change, we ended up just doing this ourselves), we settled on the name “Pidgin” for gaim itself, “libpurple” for libgaim (which, as of 2.0.0 beta6, exists), and “Finch” for gaim-text.”

Source: http://www.pidgin.im/ or http://gaim.sf.net

Embedded Video Plugin Modified to show videos in feeds

Friday, March 30, 2007

It’s been slightly annoying me that videos weren’t showing up in The Sh17′s RSS feed, so I decided to modify the plugin I’ve been using.

From the author’s page: jovelblog » Embedded Video with Link

V3.0 – 30.01.2007

* plugin ready for WordPress 2.1!
* removed video object in feed, just a link instead
* added video portal: brightcove, aniBOOM
* added support for local media files like mov, avi, mpg, flv, swf

I guess videos showed up in feeds up until version 3.0. I started editing the embedded-video.php file and around line 132 is where my modifications start.
Lines 132 to 159. All I did was comment out the if/else statement.
//if ( !is_feed() ) {
switch ($match[1]) {
case "youtube": $output .= YOUTUBE_TARGET; break;
case "google": $output .= GOOGLE_TARGET; break;
case "myvideo": $output .= MYVIDEO_TARGET; break;
case "clipfish": $output .= CLIPFISH_TARGET; break;
case "sevenload": $output .= SEVENLOAD_TARGET; break;
case "revver": $output .= REVVER_TARGET; break;
case "metacafe": $output .= METACAFE_TARGET; break;
case "yahoo": $output .= YAHOO_TARGET; break;
case "ifilm": $output .= IFILM_TARGET; break;
case "myspace": $output .= MYSPACE_TARGET; break;
case "brightcove": $output .= BRIGHTCOVE_TARGET; break;
case "aniboom": $output .= ANIBOOM_TARGET; break;
case "vimeo": $output .= VIMEO_TARGET; break;
case "guba": $output .= GUBA_TARGET; break;
case "dailymotion": $output .= DAILYMOTION_TARGET; $match[3] = "nolink"; break;
case "garagetv": $output .= GARAGE_TARGET; $match[3] = "nolink"; break;
case "local":
if (preg_match("%([[:print:]]+).(mov|qt)$%", $match[2])) { $output .= QUICKTIME_TARGET; break; }
elseif (preg_match("%([[:print:]]+).(wmv|mpg|mpeg|mpe|asf|asx|wax|wmv|wmx|avi)$%", $match[2])) { $output .= VIDEO_TARGET; break; }
elseif (preg_match("%([[:print:]]+).(swf|flv)$%", $match[2])) { $output .= FLASHPLAYER_TARGET; break; }
default: break;
}
//} else {
// if a feed, overwrite nolink option
//$match[3] = "Link";
//}


And I added this:

//add generic <noembed> so that feed readers that dont support it won't get confused
$output .= "<noembed>--There's a video here that you can't see. You should check out the blog post and watch it.--</noembed>";

Now. With any luck, video’s will start showing up in feeds. If the plugin doesn’t get updated anytime soon, I’ll extend it and just have it post a thumbnail of the video or something with a link to the post.

For a test:

#3. Serenity nerdy addition.- ALL HAIL, Its Joss Whedon.

#3. Top 5 future tech-I want a robot suit that cloaks and makes dishes.

#4. Websites shut down by the government- I hope this ones next.

#5. New Wii Channel- Apparently they’re coming out with a channel where you can vote for the best mii. I hope my Samuel L Jackson one wins.
