Live-streaming platform Justin.tv now supports high-resolution videos using H.264 encoding. The codec, which has made headway in consumer electronics, is also a great format for the Web since it can fit high resolutions in relatively small file sizes--making it ideal for something like streaming. For now there are a few caveats that keep it from being accessible to the average user. For one, videos streamed in high resolution H.264 will not be saved into user archives, and there is no way to do it without using special software to process the stream before it hits Justin.tv's servers. Users are encouraged to be running a rig with a fast processor and modern graphics card, as it takes some considerable horsepower to crunch down video in real time. Eventually the company hopes to offer such processing power on its own servers, so that you'll be able to get similar results with any commodity high-resolution Webcam and a good connection.

We once did a poll asking people what their favorite CMS was. WordPress was a run-away winner, but also got many comments of "WordPress isn't a CMS!!". Well clearly, in the strictest sense, WordPress is a CMS as it "manages content". But is WordPress really only suited for blogging, or can it be used for more traditional non-blog sites?

I have revisited adding Yui compressor into my work's ant build script to minify JS and CSS scripts. The current jar was yuicompressor-2.3.5.jar . It took a lot of playing around but I finally stumbled on how to get it to work. Here is the snippet for the yuicompressor. I had to jump through a couple hoops like overriding the current js/css scripts with the optimized js/css scripts. I'll release a full working copy in a zip, you can run against your webroot. We achieved an average 18% compression rate for all our js/css files.

Recruiting is a misunderstood art form. For the shortsighted hiring managers out there, the word recruiting brings to mind hours of distraction that could be better spent on their "real job". One thing the recession has taught us (particularly the mortgage crisis) is that any decision based solely on short term ramifications will generally get us nowhere in the long run.

The series aimed to tie together 3 big trends, all based around structured data: 1) the still nascent "Web 3.0" concept, 2) the relatively new kid on the structured Web block, Linked Data, and 3) the long-running saga that is the Semantic Web. Greg's series is probably the best explanation I've read all year about the way these trends are converging.

The natural state of audio and video signals is analog. When digital technology was not yet around, they are recorded or played back in analog devices like vinyl discs and cassette tapes. The storage capacity of these devices is limited and doing multiple runs of re-recording and editing produced poor signal quality. Developments in digital technology like the CD, DVD, Blu-ray, flash devices and other memory devices addressed these problems.
