Start an embedded YouTube video at a certain timestamp

In a previous post I covered how to link to a specific timestamp in a YouTube video. The short version looks like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjDw3azfZWI#t=31m08s The “#t=31m08s” takes you to 31 minutes and 8 seconds in a video. I just found out that you can also start embedded videos at a certain timestamp. To do it on an embedded [...]

Calling for link spam reports

Google has been working on some new algorithms and tools to tackle linkspam and we’d like to ask for linkspam reports from you. If you’d like to tell us about web sites that appear to be using spammy links (e.g. paid links that pass PageRank, blog spammers, guestbook spammers, etc.), here’s how to send us [...]

I'm Blogging Elsewhere

I haven't written much here recently. And that's really due to a lot of reason, not the last of which is being busy and that we have a wonderful new kitten named Bear: The other issue is that I've becoming increasingly unhappy with my blogging tools, the custom hacks I've added over the years, and the required maintenance and upkeep. So I've decided to give WordPress a try. You can visit my new experimental (likely semi-permanent) blog here: Jeremy Zawodny's WordPress blog I may find myself posting stuff here from time to time. Maybe. But the reality is that I'll probably work on a mega export of this stuff into the the new blog and setup some redirects at some point. When I have time. Which means it may take a while. But that's life. In the meantime, I have more efficient tools over there and am likely to publish more often. So check it out if you're interested. Or not. (comments)

Leaving the iPhone

I’m three weeks into a new 30 day challenge: no iPhone. When I got a Nexus One in December, I spent a few weeks carrying both phones around in the pockets of my jeans. It took a little while to adapt to Android, but I’m very happy with my Nexus One and I don’t plan [...]

laptopuser on "Don't Buy Apple"

I just bought a new 15" MacBook Pro, it's my fourth Mac in 7 years, I really enjoy it. Luckily it's not affected me like you other Apple fanatics that demonstrate your arrogance and alter ego's. Why must you bash someone who has had a problem? Give it a rest, and grow up.

Finding the best cell phone carrier

Okay, someone tell me if this device exists (or build it!). I want a device where I can pay $10-15 to get a gadget in the mail. The gadget would sit in my pocket for a week wherever I go. The device would record cell phone signal strength for each of the four major U.S. [...]

Blog to Book?

I recently went looking for some software to make a blog into a book. Here’s what I found: - Lulu will take PDF files for a book. Blogbooker.com will try to create a PDF from a blog. Unfortunately, my blog made BlogBooker choke (I have 991 posts from my blog) — even when I excluded comments. - [...]

Millman on "iWOW Adaptor for iPod?"

Hello, I have a 1st generation iPod touch, and I was wondering if anyone has personally used the SRS iWOW adaptor? I have an Bose SoundDock for my home and it sounds SOOO much better there then through my headphones. Has anyone used this adaptor? or could link me to any comprehensive reviews. Thanks : )

spacephrawg on "Trying to find the right VM/emulator"

I am trying to find a VM that can access more than 256mb of the video card. Parallels won't allow you to access more than 256mb for the VM. I have not been able to find anything about what the other VM's can or cannot do. Its very frustrating. I intend to get a Mac Pro tower that is fast enough that it can handle running my favorite 3d rendering program (Rhino4) in the VM and do a multitude of other things in OSX at the same time. Probably 8 core, 8 gigs of RAM, at least one workstation video card. I would normally settle for a quad core but I intend to keep this thing around as long as possible, so i want it to be able to handle things just fine, several OS upgrades down the line. Rhino4 only runs on Windows. I would've gotten another 3d rendering software but Rhino comes highly recommended to me for what I want to do, that is, making models and/or plans that i can send to a 3d printer or CNC mill so as to produce prototypes that I may cast and hopefully sell. And I would otherwise have gotten a dedicated PC for the job except that I am soooo done with Windows and want to use it as little as possible if it can be helped. Thank you very much for your help! Much obliged!

Chrome support for Greasemonkey

Back in December, I happened to click on a Greasemonkey script in Chrome and was shocked that it just worked. At the time, I wrote a note within Google that said Whoa. I just clicked on a Greasemonkey script in the latest dev version of Chrome (4.0.266.0 on Linux). Chrome offered to install the GM script, [...]

I'm surprised no one mentioned Mac the Ripper yet. That's great software too. Easy to use. I personally like Mac the Ripper best because it's user friendly.
