Oh, yeah, in case you’d want an epub copy. I fortunately found one.

I just read the news in GMANews feed. Here’s the link:

Isn’t that amazing?!

Well, for me, I often forgot something what interests me on certain places. Or even if someone asks me to grab something for them if I visit a place, town or province the next time. This app, if it works, should alert me of what stuff I need to grab while I’m at some place. This is one the reasons I am excited with the launch of iOS 5.

I wonder though, if it’s ever going to be of a purpose to remind “when you leave from a location”, as it would be triggered when you already left, or yes, it may serve some – for you to go back. If I remember correctly, there are triggers for that and “when you arrive at a location”. Or is there another one for “when you’re at a location”? But generally, it has a purpose.

They’re just my thoughts.

On an unrelated note, it’s quite a pain writing on wordpress for iphone, really! I actually updated this app just an hour ago. The cursor always returns back to the end of the content if you position to edit on other parts of the text. Neither it loads auto complete on words. And pressing space twice should add a period, but it doesn’t do that. Why?

Anyways.

What you need are:

• iPhone 4 (not tested on 3G or 3Gs but probably will work)
• Justin.tv Account
• WiFi network with Internet

And here’s what you do

1. Download and install Justin.TV for iPhone
2. Run it and login with your account (gear icon on the upper right of Justin.TV on your iPhone)
3. Click the camera icon on the upper left, then press ‘record’ button

That’s it! You can view your stream on your Justin.TV badger page – http://www.justin.tv/username

You do not only stream videos actually, they’re recorded. Your channel will list the previous streams right below your current stream. Here’s a link of the first stream I did, or the recorded stream.

And there’s also a Justin.TV for Android of course!

So, I just realized the submit button on the search form on the header is not really important, I hid it now by simply display: hidden;. Then, some text might help to indicate that that form above is used for search.

Here’s the code

var changed = false;
$('#searchform #s')
  .addClass('quiet').val('Search...')
  .bind('change', function(){ if ( !changed ) { changed = true; } } )
  .bind('focus', function(){ $(this).removeClass('quiet'); if ( !changed ) { $(this).val(''); }  } )
  .bind('blur', function(){ if ( !changed ) { $(this).val('Search...'); $(this).addClass('quiet'); } } 
);

In wordpress, the search input field name is ‘s’, in case you find this helpful and want to use it, just replace the #searchform #s with your own selector. I might make this a plugin someday.

ffmpeg -i "Output_Video_File.flv" -vcodec libx264 -b 512k -flags +loop+mv4 -cmp 256 -partitions +parti4x4+parti8x8+partp4x4+partp8x8+partb8x8 -me_method hex -subq 7 -trellis 1 -refs 5 -bf 0 -flags2 +mixed_refs -coder 0 -me_range 16 -g 250 -keyint_min 25 -sc_threshold 40 -i_qfactor 0.71 -qmin 10 -qmax 51 -qdiff 4 "Output_Video_File.mp4"

This also works on .avi and .mpg as the source video.

Update: Howto link for Lucid

And it was really it! Though they both have text/html, they had different character set values. Server responses with ISO-8859-1, but the <meta> instructs the browser to use utf-8, as it is declared in the document.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

And so the second load of page occurs, its sort of trying to correct page encoding on the client-side. In the script I was working, I needed to pass some session values to the next page and clear it on page load, but when it reloads the second time, the session value had been emptied.

Hope it helps.
