For a new NAS I’m building (my old 4x2TB one is full). After putting them into RAID 5 for redundancy incase of drive failure and after the conversion to real terabytes (claimed hard drive sizes are always larger than real values), it’ll end up being somewhere around 8 terabytes of actual usable space.
I’m a sucker for time-lapse videos and I love Portland, so this one hits the spot. 
JW FLV Player has been removed from the latest version of my Viper’s Video Quicktags plugin. The player is not compatible with the GPL license and as a result cannot be included in plugins that are hosted in the WordPress.org plugin repository. I shouldn’t have added the player to my plugin in the first place but it was the only decent player at the time oh so many years ago. Today I have rectified that mistake by removing it from my plugin’s download.
However do not fear — I have not actually removed the functionality, I just no longer bundle it with my plugin. If you wish to continue to use the player to embed .flv and .mp4 files after upgrading to version 6.4.0 of my plugin, you will need to download this ZIP file and extract it to your wp-content folder, resulting in /wp-content/jw-flv-player/player.swf. I’m hosting the ZIP file since my plugin uses an old version of the player that is no longer available for download from the official site.
This is a temporary band-aid fix. The eventual plan is to switch to the GPL-licensed Flowplayer but that won’t happen until I complete the latest recode of my plugin which introduces many much-needed features. Whether I’ll actually ever finish version 7.0 of my plugin is another matter though.
If you have any questions or need any help, please post over on the Viper’s Video Quicktags page.
GitHub is an awesome code repository and code distribution website. It’s used by countless people and organizations to develop and release code.
I’ve wanted to made use of GitHub for a very long time now but the site is built around the Git revision control software. However I instead extensively use Subversion (SVN) in my daily life and have no desire or need to learn Git — everything I currently do requires that I use SVN. Not to mention that the Git experience on Windows is absolutely horrendous.
So I was incredibly pleased to learn that GitHub supports SVN! They added full support way back in October 2011 but I somehow missed the memo.
This is super good news because it means I can now start to distribute my code and projects via my my GitHub page. Nothing is there quite yet but I hope to package up and commit some code to there soon.
Absolutely stunning. I want one so bad. Maybe in 5 years on the used car market or something. *drool*
The weather was nice enough to get out and have a little fun tonight.
I love the 1990 original but this reboot/remake/whatever actually looks damn good!
The Swiss have some of the most awesome hillclimbing races. Here’s some of the best half hour of hillclimb video I’ve seen. Worth the watch if you’re into auto racing.
Ever since I was 10 years old (if not longer), I’ve wanted a Dodge Viper. I fell in love with the car as a kid and had models of the car growing up. I even picked my username based on the car. Never did I dream that I would actually own one someday though but thanks to saving for years and having a great job, I finally accomplished my 17+ year dream.
I took delivery of it a week ago and am so happy!
You can find more details as well as video over on the page I have dedicated to the car.
Nerds are so awesome.
