Adam said his record for Escapa! was 16.02 and I knew I could beat it.
So I did it a few times and figured more of the pattern out. Instead of claiming some high number I took a screencast of the session. Then after ending the capture I beat my own time so I took a screenshot.
My best time is now 23.234 and that is (including the time for the video and blogging this) is 15 minutes of my life that I will never get back. My question now is how many people will actually watch the video?
Another fun, quick and simple game I have found myself wasting time on: Desktop Tower Defense
During last night's Twitter "Timeline Oddity Update" I caught some interesting comments from @bhlackey and @thinguy in response to an update that appeared in my stream. I won't reproduce it here.
I experienced the following behavior while trying to logout so I could create the @smutr twitter account.
403 Forbidden: The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. I call it lock-in
Recently some complaints have surfaced about keyboard access to form elements in Firefox 2 in OS X. I don't see the problem.
I have Full keyboard access for "All Controls" set in System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts
I have "Enable Access for assistive devices" set in System Preferences -> Universal Access (although I don't think this is related, IIRC it is for some other programs that I use)
Since a video is the easiest way I can think of to show this, here you go:
If anyone happens to know what configuration changes you might need to make to get this working please feel free to let me know. I don't recall making changes other than the above.
I shot this video/screencast demo thing nine or ten months ago. The audio from the datacenter was terrible. I have been sitting on it and some voice overs that I wasn't pleased with for about 4 months. Today I decided that it was time finally get it published, did another voice over and while it isn't perfect its good enough.
This video was inspired by CSI: Munich I watched it and thought, wait I have an x4500!
Here instead we will try an object embedded quicktime found at Bye Bye Embed, the video above is being served from the all new and improved http://mediacast.sun.com
Edit: I have uploaded an amplified version, it appears that unless you
are using good isolation earbuds or have relatively good quality
speakers you can't really hear the audio portion. The trial copy of "Sound Studio"
I downloaded did a wonderful job of letting me amplify the audio. The
audio and video are the same, only the link has changed (It does not
appear possible to replace the original content )
While I was at
it we just released a new version of mediacast.sun.com (I could never
get my login to the old one working). For some reason smugmug is taking
23MB of video and reprocessing it to 94MB. I can download that in about
3 minutes but the size is ridiculous. (No wonder my wife said it took
forever to play)
(This is the smugmug video, I still like the interface it just isn't quite doing it for me otherwise)
Edit: A bit of clarity I should go to bed at 02:30 instead of messing with my blog
