From Måns, a developer on FFMPEG. Sounds like he knows what he’s talking about. I’m interested in a comparison of the actual effects of Ogg’s increased overhead .vs. other containers (m4v, mkv).
Available in AA Short-Sleeve V-Neck and Ladies’ 5.8 oz. Cotton 2×1 Rib Tank:
Are You Down wit da Nub?!
WELL ARE YOU? I am. $18.75 gets one of these things. You can’t afford not to buy it.
“Save all the money on the manuals and just give me this duck to always be there and tell me what to do.”
Looking back on the 15-year anniversary of Microsoft Bob, one of Microsoft’s most famous failures.
A new, free to read, short story by screenwriter John August. This one is posted on Popcorn Fiction, which is:
an ongoing anthology of short fiction by screenwriters, including original work by Scott Frank, Larry Doyle, Jeff Lowell and many others. Derek Haas created the whole endeavor.
A noble endeavor.
With downloadable kits containing EOT, SVG, WOFF, and TTF versions, Cufon versions and a stylesheet with the @font-face rules for easy @import-ing. This is drop-in simple. What more can you ask for?
Maybe a slightly better browsing interface, but other than that?
Converted from the publically-available CSV on the official Cubs site, and massaged into SQL by yours truly for the forthcoming relaunch of a project and made available because I googled and found nothing.
Download: Cubs 2010 Schedule SQL File 8kb zipped.
In the newest @play column forGameSetWatch. The remake of the SNES Shiren The Wanderer game for DS is one of my favorite games ever.
I love mini-games over loading screens, but the reason nobody else does them is Namco owns a software patent on them and has since 1998. I wonder if 37 Signals knows or cares?
KVJ on story structure, Hamlet, Cinderella, and Kafka:
But there’s a reason we recognize Hamlet as a masterpiece: it’s that Shakespeare told us the truth, and people so rarely tell us the truth in this rise and fall here [indicates blackboard]. The truth is, we know so little about life, we don’t really know what the good news is and what the bad news is.
A new book full of the absolutely great Wondermark comics by David Malki. If you do not purchase it you will die (probably) (eventually).
Evidence that the Israeli government has been cloning the passports of British citizens, and using them as fake IDs for assassins. Airport security? Haaaaa.
Written, as one might hope, in all-caps, laced with profanity, and peppered with utter contempt for network executives. Delicious, and mostly good advice. A sample:
ANY TIME ANY CHARACTER IS SAYING TO ANOTHER “AS YOU KNOW”, THAT IS, TELLING ANOTHER CHARACTER WHAT YOU, THE WRITER, NEED THE AUDIENCE TO KNOW, THE SCENE IS A CROCK OF SHIT.
Amen.
It bills itself as “The Most Awesome jQuery Image Slider,” and once you see it you will, if not agree entirely, see where they’re coming from.
Opera submitted Opera Mini to the App Store 6 hours ago, and this page is tracking how long it takes Apple to approve it. The closest guess wins a new iPhone. This is pretty clever. Everyone knows the App Store approval process is bunk, why not have some fun with it?
A short film which features Werner Herzog voicing a plastic bag as it journeys across America in search of it’s Maker. I shit you not.
Sad that he felt he had to wait so long, glad he feels comfortable enough to do it now. I’m a big fan of the James Randi Educational Foundation, and in particular the $1 Million Paranormal Challenge.
Soren Johnson’s summary of Social Gaming / Facebook’s presence at SXSW, what it’s doing to the industry, and what it might do to the future of games. Potentially very bad for everyone. My favorite quote is this, which I think sums up my real problem with [those fucks] Zynga:
So many of the methods for making money are thinly-veiled scams that simply exploit psychological flaws in the human brain.
That, right there, is the problem I have with this stuff. It’s just gross.
Click it, read it, learn it, love it. These are all essential tips.
