Online Whiteboard
Really useful one…

The interface isn’t exactly straightforward, but it’s good once you get used to it. (You have to work slow, can’t just drag things around, you first single click and only then can you drag).
All in all it’s easy to see alot of text, to draw and emphasize etc. And it’s easy to invite people.
The internet is…
The internet’s immortal.
The internet’s a smartass.
The internet is optimistic.
The internet’s bipolar in relationships.

What python lacks
I do like python a lot, but I feel some things are still missing. Correct me if I’m wrong.
* How do I know what can I import? I can use help(os) but how do I know that ‘os’ exists (from within the interpreter). I want a command like dir that can search through the default import directories. “mdir” (like module dir) or “pdir” (package dir).
* Tkinter sucks, why isn’t wx or anything else included?
* The php documentation really makes me jealous because the user contributed comments are VERY useful. Why doesn’t python docs have some web 2.0 in it? Like digg’s comment system.
* So many crappy IDE’s, I can’t find one that’s good for everything. At first I liked Wing but nowadays it’s way too slow and heavy so I switched to SPE which is great except it can crash for no reason.
* The GIL needs to be taken more seriously with a dedicated page explaining why it’s in place, how to escape it’s suckiness, and a roadmap to minimize the damage. Alot of people care about performance more than idiot-proof concurrency.
And I think i have a few more rants to go on about this, I’ll post ’em when I recall.
Word Connections
After fiddling with google apps engine, I made this AJAX searcher that tells you how strongly related are 2 words, or at least how strongly related they are on the internet. Try it out:

flash mp3 player with javascript
NiftyPlayer is one cute little mp3 player, I made this php code so I can browse a given directory using php, and give people the chance to play/pause/download a song.

Internet Speed Metrics (Mbps sucks)
Been shopping for an internet connections recently?
I say we need 2 more metrics: average ping and GB per day (gaming and downloading movies).
1 Mbps = 10.5 GB per day
This means about 10 old movies (700 MB) per day, or 2 almost awesome 720p (4 GB), or 1 holy crap 1080p movie (8 GB).
Average ping should come from pings to 3-5 stable, well known, and geographically defined sites like: http://www.usa.gov, http://www.direct.gov.uk, http://www.government.gov.ru
Trouble with prproj file
While trying to make the srt to premiere script:
prpoj is xml, prtl (premiere title) is also xml. I think inside prproj, the prtl is not in xml form, but rather compressed somehow. I think this because I couldn’t find the text from the title inside the prproj file. Anyways there’s this base64 file in the prproj xml which I think contains the title because after i decode it there is a string at the beginning of the binary “CompressedTitle”, but I don’t know how to decompress it…
here is the file after decoding the base64: [decoded file that needs to be decompressed]
Python Premiere Subtitles Tool
I want to make an srt to prproj converter, but I’m still not there yet. So for now, I made this script that can take a text file, parse it, and output prtl files which you can import into premiere, then you just have to worry about how to time them.
