Today, I’m announcing a new meta podcast about designing scalable systems named Scalecast. I’ve been seeing more and more conference interesting presentations online but I can’t get them to work with my iphone/ipod since they require streaming flash video. I now have a simple script that can fetch the flash video from youtube, transcode it to mp4 video, including AAC audio, and publish it to Wordpress. It’s then available for use on any Apple device ...

To remedy this, you'll have to tweak a few advanced configuration settings in your client, and weblog 5ThirtyOne has the details. On the iPhone, for example:Open 'Settings' > 'Mail' > [Your Gmail IMAP account] > 'Advanced'Select 'Drafts ...

This is one of the best technical presentation I've seen. Which is all the more amazing because the speaker, Jon Bentley, spends nearly an hour talking about the quicksort algorithm. This is based on a chapter in Beautiful Code , but goes deeper into the subject, and seeing Jon present definitely adds a lot to the material. Btw there a fascinating Google/Bell Labs comment by the introducer: There's quite a crowd - well it seems ...

Google is getting closer and closer to cloning Rojo with Google Reader. First they added search and now they’re apparently adding more functionality. The search functionality in particular was interesting because I implemented the first round of Rojo search based on Lucene. An internal presentation leaked onto the web and apparently they’re going to be implementing more social functionality: The Reader team is going to integrate more social features. Currently items can be sent to ...

Posted by Chikai Ohazama, Google Earth teamEvery once in a while you come across a piece of technology that instantly grabs you and you can't stop saying "Oh my god!" When I bought my 12" Mac Powerbook, for instance, just opening the box was an experience.
