Apparently this is what happens when an airplane, or satellite taking pictures from over the poles, takes pictures from different angles and then puts them together.

Just a little test from the neat little blog entry poster that I just installed, I’m curious to see if it even works!

Smart YouTube plugin

I discovered this awesome wordpress plugin that allows you to easily embed valid YouTube video. http://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/wordpress-plugins/smart-youtube

Its really easy to use, you just install the plugin and then configure it under the “Settings” tab. Then when you want to embed a YouTube video you just type httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg and it will automagically handle everything for you. You can also embed a video to play in “high quality” by adding an h after the v, httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg (notice in both examples the bold v and bold vh.)

Awesome Air Traffic Video

This is an awesome air traffic video that I found on YouTube the other day. It shows the global air traffic over a 24 hour period.

You can also download the video in high quality at

XHTML Valid YouTube Embedding

silliam — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 05:01:45 +0000

If you have ever tried to embed a YouTube video and then tried to validate the HTML of your page, you know that youtube will break your validation. I recently discovered the solution. Apparently YouTube videos are also supposed to be viewed 320×267, I think I actually like the smaller size. I bolded the important parts.

Original:

425” height=”344“>http://www.youtube.com/v/nrlSkU0TFLs&hl=en“>http://www.youtube.com/v/nrlSkU0TFLs&hl=en” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” wmode=”transparent” width=”425″ height=”344″>

Valid:

Oh No! Slashdot was down!

Wednesday June 4, 2008 at 6:58 PM. No reason to panic, Slashdot kept giving me this error page, but its back to normal now. I wonder what happened. Maybe I should email Pater and inform him of this error.
