Its it a TV? Is it a Tivo? No It’s Democracy!
Found this over at digg.com It’s a player, downloader, organizer for internet video. Uses bittorrent for distribution… (yes share the load don’t just leech) It’s just pretty neat… there’s a bunch of stuff… just have to look and thing… ok… this is a beta but also the amount of content is small… but it’s EAZY (like itunes easy) and has alternative programming… (alternative != network programming)
No schedules… it downloads in the background… but man pretty cool!
Googlie Page Creator and descends into a rant…
Google is now going after geocites and the like… an WYSIWYG editor using Ajax… Pretty spiffy… Yeah get ready INTERNET for MORE CRAPPY WEBSITES… http://pages.google.com/
Speaking of which… Why is it that people on MySpace have to have pages that not only have BAD CSS… BAD Colors… but add sound and VIDEO… to them… Web design is like nuclear physics… you can do A LOT and the results can be devastating!
HTML CSS Javascript are like a hammer… you can build a house… or use it to make a statue…. or just SMASH SOMEONES SKULL IN….
Oh for the days of black times roman, blue links and NO ANIMATED GRAPHICS…
It just makes my job harder… because clients feel that because they can make a webpage in 3 seconds. (The quality of which my 5yo can match) that building them a REAL website should be just as fast… its like the patient telling the surgeon gee could you hurry up I’ve got more important things to do…
Yes this is a rant.. but I get tired of people thinking my job is easy because they threw up (or vomited up) a few pages. Plus they never get to see the elegance of a great site using Smarty or the way things can fall together when the backend design is so modular that additional features are a snap. Even my cow orkers don’t understand that stuff… oh well I guess being this smart has it’s drawbacks
