Chris, you don't need to go to the video selection screen with this change. In fact you won't see it available in there as you found out. But this will already have set your resolution and you can go straight in and play.

Thanks Mike,

Yes I need to update the unlocks and I will do that soon. As far as a site to lookup other player stats. That can be done at a site I list above called bf2s.com. You can also do a comparison of your stats to another player's on that site as well.

This sounds like a very necessary component of many sites. Especially those that are new were an existing user reputation system is necessary to enable widespread adoption. Prosper.com is one site that comes to mind.

JC...I had the same problem. I couldn't get either TVU or Sopcast to work this morning. Later I tried again...TVU still didn't work but Sopcast started working on channel CCTV5. So I guess you just need to bounce between the two when having problems.

Go Argentina!!!

Re: WordPress Blog Hosting : Recommendations?

Mark Krynsky — Fri, 19 Jan 2007 15:47:04 -0000

I have hosted wordpress on a friends server as well as a second domain with Yahoo as kind of a pilot test for possible migration and recently decided against Yahoo basically because I wanted to host multiple domains on a single account with a single monthly fee. I also limited my choices to those recommended on the Wordpress site and decided to go with Bluehost. I was very impressed with them right away and have since moved over to them entirely. They have a very clean setup, have snappy (yea I said that) servers, and good support. I couldn't be happier.

Re: Lifestream – Could it be the next big thing?

Jeff…great comment. Thanks for clearing up the history a bit. I’ve also since added a blurb about the Yale project I had also bookmarked when doing my research.

You are not alone in the recommendation to use API’s over RSS. I think using them when available is definitely the way to go, but also optionally allowing RSS feeds to be added with ability to archive should be an option as well. RSS is so common, is easy to implement, and opens up the gates of creativity for people with unique uses.

I look forward to following your progress.

Jaiku is a good platform for this currently as well as setting up a public page at Pageflakes. But very soon Dandelife will be releasing a new feature set that will probably put them in the lead. Stay tuned at lifestreamblog.com

How funny...messing with a political candiate could present tons of fun.

Kelly, hot linking is when somebody steals an image...and not by saving and placing on their on server but instead they use an html to source the image from the site they are stealing it from.

So in my case they were using <img src="http://krynsky.com/(image_n..."> hope that explains it.

Mike, I lived in North Hollywood in a tiny single apartment the day of the quake and just remember feeling like the world was about to end. Coincidentally I also lived in Sherman Oaks (Dixie Cyn and Ventura Blvd) and currently live in Chatsworth...walking distance from the Northridge Shopping Center.

Re: Digg and Reddit: Why I Read the Comments First (& You Should Too)

6. They help point out alternatives

Whenever I see a post for software or a web service I quickly begin reading the comments very closely looking for people who recommend similar software or services that sometimes may be better than the one submitted to Digg. So when I do have interest, the comments help me identify and evaluate competing products which may be better suited for me than the one submitted.

Just like Sam & Mark said the site was crippled on the morning of the release and you couldn't buy it even if you wanted to.

It looks like they took the "House of Cards" track to heart which has the lyrics "Infrastructure will collapse" which is what happened when i tried to buy it today

I got it off Bittorrent in the morning and was able to finally pay for it when I got home that night.

Even then it was a very poor ecommerce experience as well that didn't appear to have much thought put into the process.

That said I still applaud Radiohead and hope other bands follow in their steps. Albeit a little more cautiously.

Re: Blogging is Dead; Long Live Blogging

Mark Krynsky — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 00:23:52 -0000

I think any concerns about Blogging going the way of the dodo bird and people diminishing their normal writing habits in favor of simply Lifestreaming is much ado about nothing.

I have lots of friends in the web field and only a small percentage of them consciously Lifestream (which in my mind is providing an aggregate stream of their online attention data in a single place).

Of the ones that do create Lifestreams, all of them are doing so to _supplement_ their blogs or existing sites.

In any case I do like where your post goes with regards to the _next_ step in the evolution of Lifestreaming. Now that we are getting close to open platforms that provide the tools to aggregate all this data, lets see what innovative algorithms and functionality we can provide with based on all this data. That's what I'm looking forward to.

If you want to learn more about Lifestreaming and the services available I also run Lifestreamblog.com
