    September 17th, 2009 carlgreat No comments

    Microsofts Senior Director Sam Ramji erklärt in einem Interview die Open-Source-Stiftung CodePlex Foundation genauer. Als Ziel der Stiftung erklärt Ramji, dass Softwarehersteller und Open-Source-Entwickler mit der Foundation eine Schnittstelle für den Austausch hätten. Man wolle nicht mit anderen Stiftungen konkurrieren, sondern man wolle Standard-Open-Source-Lizenzen schaffen, um “geistiges Eigentum” zu schützen und damit geordnet zu veröffentlichen.

    Mit an Bord sind Personen aus bekannten Open-Source-Projekten und Unternehmen: Novell wird durch Vicepräsident Developer Platform Miguel de Icaza vertreten, DotNetNuke durch den Chef-Architekt Schaun Bruce Walker. Unter anderem diese Personen beteiligen sich finanziell an der Stiftung. Weiter wurde ein Advisory Board eingerichtet, vertreten durch Mitarbeiter von Microsoft, SugarCRM, HP, MindTouch und Monty Program AB.

    Was sagt ihr zu der CodePlex Foundation? Ist das von Ramji vorgestellte Ziel realistisch, sinnvoll und durchführbar? Braucht die Welt eine weitere Open-Source-Stiftung?

    WordPress Plugin WP Silverlight Media Player

    September 9th, 2009 carlgreat No comments

    This plugin allows addition of Silverlight-based media players to WordPress blog posts and pages. The players can be used to play Windows Media Video (WMV) encoded video content.

    The plugin has the following features:

    • Default player configuration settings, such as size, thumbnail, auto load and auto play.
    • Per-instance player configuration settings that can be used to customize each individual player within or across blog posts.
    • Unlimited number of players within the same blog post or page.
    • Option to not load players on the home page of the blog. This helps to reduce the amount of content to download for visitors who do not want to watch a video.
    • 6 player styles
    • UI for uploading of video files and for inserting media players into blog posts and pages
    • Tracking and reporting on how many times the videos have been watched

    This article explains how to encode a video content for WP Media Player plugin by using the Windows Media Encoder.

    Step 1: Download and install Windows Media Encoder.

    Step 2: Download the Windows Media Encoder Profiles. These are used to help you run the Windows Media Encoder with the appropriate settings to output a media file in a format supported by Silverlight.

    Step 3: Extract the contents of the Profiles.zip archive to the Profiles folder in your Windows Media Encoder program folder (typically C:\Program Files\Windows Media Components\Encoder).

    Step 4: Start the Windows Media Encoder by clicking “Start” and typing “media encoder” in the search bar.

    Step 5: Click “Custom Session” on the “New Session” dialog:

    New Session Dialog

    Step 6: In the “Session Properties” page, find the “Source from:” radio buttons and choose “File”. Then specify the input video file by either typing in the full path or by using the “Browse…” button.

    Session Properties Dialog

    Step 7: Click on the “Compression” tab and then click “Edit…” button next to the “Destination” drop down list:

    Compression Tab Page

    Step 8: In the “Custom Encoding Settings” dialog click “Import…” button and then choose the encoding profile that best suits your web server’s network bandwidth. I usually choose WMV Web Server 256k DSL because my server’s bandwidth is pretty low.

    Custom Encoding Settings

    Step 9: Click on the “Output” tab and then clear out the check box next to “Pull from encoder …”. Check the check box “Encode to file” and then specify the name of the output file. After that click “Start Encoding”:

    Output Tab Page

    The encoding will start and Windows Media Encoder will show the progress and a preview:

    Video Encoding in Progress

    After the encoding is done you can upload this file to your WordPress blog for playback with WP Media Player plugin.

    Where do I go to lodge a complaint about water

    September 6th, 2009 carlgreat No comments
    Ask:
    Is there a place online to lodge a complaint about the water usage in my apartment complex? We are in a drought in CA and they water the plants like 3 or 4 times a day! Plus the water bill is divided up between all the tenants for the whole property so I think I am paying for it too! Any ideas?

    Additional Details

    “They” is the apartment complex. We have tried to ask them about it but they won’t give us a straight answer.
    Answer:
    The answers I’ve just read have many good points such as contacting the city’s water department via the city’s website and speaking with the owners/managers etc (which I gather from your post you have already attempted). I think it’s also a good idea to find out if there are any water restrictions, what your total water bill is and try to figure out how much you are actually paying.

    if there are restrictions and they aren’t being adhered to…maybe you could go to city hall with a number of other tenants that would support you and inform the proper authorities. In person will get things done right away (that translates sadly into weeks, months etc).

    if there aren’t restrictions then by renting there you have agreed to pay for the expenses of the owner’s upkeep of the building and property…their choices. You probably don’t have a leg to stand on.

    But, you do have the other tenants who feel the same way. Maybe you could organize a little (or big) group in the building that could bring good old fashioned social pressure’s leg to stand on. A crowd of people that are actually paying good, hard-earned money for something they feel is destructive and unnecessary can be a formidable thorn in an uncaring owner’s side. If done peacefully, maturely and respectfully it should have some effect. if not now, possibly later in this owner’s business life. Good luck

    Oh, and ignore the people who are telling you to move to a different place on the planet. They obviously don’t know the meaning and power of the word “Home”. We all have our problems with where we live, running away doesn’t make a home…staying does. If we all took off at the mere mention of trouble, we would all be moving and the word Home would pass out of use. Stay, take counsel of others and then do the right thing by your own lights. Sounds like that is just what it is you’re doing. ta, from canada.
