Democracy Now! is Sharper on Miro
If you aren’t familiar with Democracy Now!, it’s a great progressive news program that is syndicated daily across hundreds of outlets: NPR radio, public access TV channels, PBS, DISH (Free Speech TV), satellite (LinkTV), and more.
Democracy Now! distributes their show over Miro, but until today, the video image was a bit muddled. Last Friday, I went down to the Democracy Now! headquarters in Chinatown and helped troubleshoot. We got things fixed up and Miro is now indisputably the simplest, crispest, highest-resolution way to get Democracy Now! on the internet:
I recommend everyone check out and subscribe to the improved Democracy Now! channel.
The video was suffering from a condition known as interlace, which causes motion in the image to reveal a bunch of tiny sawtooth lines. Interlacing was a way that television manufacturers in the 1940’s could fake a high frame rate and avoid a visible flickering of the image. On high resolution displays (like computer monitors), the interlaced scan lines become visible and must be processed out (deinterlaced). The image below (courtesy of Wikipedia) shows how scan lines and interlacing work.
Deinterlacing the video was the matter of a few extra parameters in the automatic scripts that prepare the Democracy Now! for internet distribution. I plan to write a more in-depth article on interlacing and deinterlacing, because scan lines in an otherwise pristine high-resolution video are a super distressing site to me.
Open Source is not making enough rich people richer
I keep seeing this posts by some of the manager types on planet MySQL about how they or some other guy is worrying about open source vendors not raking in billions or are not stealing billions of money out of peoples pockets that should not be playing on the stock market and things along those lines. While I do agree that its great to see open source software flourish .. actually let me clear that up, why do I even care if open source software flourishes? I care because I think open source software enables a different kind of growth for society, one that is shared, one that lowers barriers, one that I feel is more in tune with a world at peace.
Of course I want people that take part in this to be able to provide themselves and their families a decent life. But the fact of the matter is, these people do not need millions, the people that use this open source as an enabler do not need millions in marketing budgets either to realize the usefulness. Of course market capital can help in funding boring tasks like QA and documentation or full time developers etc. But the show will go on even without that.
And guess what? Those small companies that make a buck with open source, they foster a culture where people go home happy at the end of the day instead of being bitter like most others. This is of course not something easily valued in monetary terms, but its nice that the pool of would be homocidal maniacs is reduced by these companies. At the same time even big guys are making plenty of money and giving back a bit here and there. New companies are popping up and slowly making it to big bucks too. So whats the point of this blog post? Lets get over this obsession with these companies that are supposed to make a few people insanly rich by selling their life (aka modern slaves) to VCs that are owned by people that haven't figured out yet to do better things in their lifes but to stack their millions higher and higher.
Reminds me about the irritation I see these aquisition rumors: Of course it matters to people who their are getting gobbled up by and so its not trivial that a Microsoft goes knocking at the doors of Yahoo (not that Yahoo is a small shop or entirely dependent on open source, but from the outside it seems none the less sufficiently open sourcy for a fair share of the tech staff). Do they really believe that key people will stick around after they are required to use their new "@microsoft.com" email address? Especially since these key people have plenty of options. Then again I guess these guys know their risk-analysis 101 and they are mostly after buying users.
While I am trying to save the world, I might also want to mention that its time we kick the system a serious jolt. I like standards, but the out dated processes by ISO and the likes are making a mockery if the idea. Seems like a little less corruption in such public services is too much to ask. Anyways, lets end this post not well formed </rant>
Creating a QT Skin for Online Movie
Popular Public Zoho Sheets Causing Slowdown: Update
Zoho Sheet was painfully slow for around 6 hours from Sunday 8:30 pm PST to Monday 2:30 am PST. We apologize for the slow response time. This happened basically due to a huge number of requests (hundreds of thousands) to couple of public spreadsheets which were linked to from a popular website. We restored the site to normalcy by redirecting public spreadsheet views to a different part of the infrastructure there by reducing load on our servers serving regular users.
We hadn’t anticipated that a spreadsheet (we are not talking about a popular video here!) would get hundreds of thousands of views in a matter of a few hours. We are working to speed up and avoid such performance bottlenecks when public spreadsheets become very popular. It is not a difficult problem to solve (caching), just one we didn’t anticipate.
Again, we apologize for the intermittent issues and slow response times in Zoho Sheet last night. Until we put in a permanent solution (about 2 weeks), please contact us at support to let us know if you expect your spreadsheet or document is going to get a lot of page views, so we can plan ahead and redirect the traffic accordingly.

This Week in Rails (July 11, 2008)
Welcome to the third edition of This Week in Rails, a weekly report with highlights from the Rails community. My apologies for the delay of this post, the past two weeks have been pretty crazy, so this edition covers the most interesting articles and news from the past two weeks.
Let’s kick off this report with a couple of maintenance releases by Jamis Buck. Both Capistrano 2.4.3 and Net::SSH 2.0.3 were published two weeks ago. If you use them, consider upgrading.
Rails 2.1 has been out for a while now, but in case you didn’t have a chance to catch up yet, this post collects several links to useful resources which will help bring you up-to-date.
The Pathfinder Development’s blog put out three highly interesting posts. The first is More Named Scope Awesomeness by Noel Rappin, while the second and third ones are Pretty blocks in Rails views and DRYing up Rails Controllers: Polymorphic and Super Controllers, both by Josh Symonds. Another good (and quick) recent read about controllers, was MVC: How to write controllers.
The same Noel also published the second part of “Developing iPhone applications using Ruby on Rails and Eclipse” for DeveloperWorks (part 1 and 2).
FiveRuns released a valuable gem called data_fabric which adds support for sharding and replication to Active Record. The same company also has a contest up and they’re offering two free tickets to RailsConf Europe in Berlin. Speaking of conferences, Fabio Akita announced that there will be a Rails Summit Brazil 2008 this coming October in S??o Paulo. This will be the first event of its kind for the Rails community in South America.
An improved version (i.e. 1.1.1) of the Oracle enhanced adapter was released, as well as version 0.9.5 of the IBM_DB adapter for DB2 and Informix, which adds support for Rails 2.1.
In purely chronological order, I found the following articles to be worth pointing out: Speed up slow Rails development in vista – a handy tip for developers using Vista, Adding Google Maps To Your Rails Applications, Live fulltext search in Ruby on Rails and Useful Flash Messages in Rails.
The Railscasts website published two new episodes, one on testing through Selenium, and another on semi-static pages.
Finally, let’s close this edition on a lighter note. The next time you are about to create an acts_as_an_evil_genius plugin or other imaginatively named one, think about this post. ;-)

This Week in Rails (July 26, 2008)
Welcome to the fourth edition of This Week in Rails, a weekly (and occasionally fortnightly) report with highlights from the Rails community.
David broke the news of the availability of confirmed and scheduled talks at RailsConf Europe which will be taking place this coming September. As you can see there will be a lot of exciting material this year, too.
The e-book Ruby on Rails 2.1 – What???s New is now available in 7 languages: English, Portuguese, Japanese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Italian and Korean. A Spanish version is coming as well. Ol??!
A couple of weeks ago I took a close look at three Rails 2.1 database related bugs. On the same day, Phusion Passenger 2.0.2 was released. This edition backports a few bug fixes, including one for a small memory leak, and as such it’s highly recommended for anyone using Passenger 2 (aka mod_rails).
Kawaii is a web-based utility like script/console. The output of the inserted expression is visually appealing when compared to the one we’re used to in the shell. Speaking of shiny things, version 2 of the Open Flash Chart plugin was released. This page shows a few wicked cool, professional looking charts (and their code) that can be generated with it.
The article Mulling Over Our Ruby On Rails Full Text Search Options discusses a few possible options for performing full text searches in Rails applications. When it comes to Sphinx, there are then two prominent plugins: UltraSphinx and ThinkingSphinx. Rein Henrichs from Hashrocket, compares the two approaches in his post titled A Thinking Man’s Sphinx.
The team behind Rails-Doc.org added a few more functionalities, including the ability to document the API for multiple versions of Rails.
Other noteworthy articles were the following:
- Mobilize Your Rails Application with Mobile Fu.
- The complete guide to setting up Starling, which includes installing and configuring workers, and how to monitor the services through god.
- Rockstar Memcaching, which is a presentation from the recent RubyFringe conference in Toronto.
- Using Emacs for Rails development – The perfect setup.
- Making SWFUpload and Rails work together.
Ryan Bates was interviewed by FiveRuns and his insightful answers are reported in Rails TakeFive: Five Questions with Ryan Bates. He also published a couple of new railscasts on Liquid safe templates and on Session Based Models.
Rails Envy podcast number 39 was published this week. Check out also their hilarious video about Outdated HTML. And if you haven’t done so already, don’t miss the funniest voicemail and remix the Rails community has heard to date: We ain’t got no RSpec.

Evulgo.org: German Language Blog on Miro
Yesterday, I noticed a few pingbacks coming from Evulgo.org; when I visited, I was surprised to see an entire blog dedicated to video feeds and Miro! The whole blog is in German (which I don’t speak), but as I skimmed I saw pointers to blog posts we’ve written here, along with a bunch of original posts too.
Very cool to see our posts echoed in foreign languages! Big thanks to Nikolas Becker (and anyone else involved) for making Evulgo.
how to: I think it's called carousel navigation?
I am creating a web site that will include a gallery of images. (I have to lay the page out in a table for the time being.) I would like to make the navigation through the image gallery like so: (see image attached)
I would like to have thumbnails of the selection of images below a large focus frame. I would like to add arrows on the left and right of just three of these thumbnails to scroll forward and back, and have the user click on a thumbnail to view a larger version of the image in the focus frame above. I believe my colleague calls this a "carousel" navigation? See image attached. No 3D please, no flash please, just maybe javascript?
How can I implement this within a table layout? I know a little CSS, but I'm a novice, please K.I.S.S. 4 me, Masters.
thank you,
pateeg
