That's pretty awesome that the conversion and rendering of video to text is actually done in client side within flash (initially I thought 'oh man, what a rape it must be on their servers doing the conversions'). Well played Youtube, well p

I am just curious, why not implement this within gzip instead of forking it out as a completely new project?

On a related note, don't forget to visit the Computer History Museum if you're in the area (might be a good alternative if your Google plans fall through) Hope they still have the difference engine on display.

There aren't that many because there's not a big market for it. You ideally want the DB in close proximity (latency wise) to your web server or what ever uses it directly. Why not host it your self? Deploying a server like MongoDB is trivia

This is really awesome! Glad to see productivity hacks that are not web apps for a change ;) There's something about actually writing stuff down physically instead of tapping them on to your phone... hard to describe. I'll be giving this a

If you could post out the field or type of application/system you have in mind at least briefly, you might be able to get a much higher relevant response rate. Everyone has their own interests and areas their most fluent in... Is it a conte

Timelapse photography is kick ass and I am all for them, but I wonder if dedicating an entire computer for this task along with the camera is the right way of going about it (unless overkill is the motive). How about a more compact/cheaper

It's in python, based off pyAIML. Not the streaming API either. I'll release the code after cleaning it up, somewhat of an embarrassing hack it is atm. As a side not: I had the same bot running as a guy and another labeled clearly as a robo

How on earth is building a server/computer... that's just inserting the cpu/ram and plugging in sata cable while everything is already screwed and in place. Lame...

Ah good idea, noted. For the moment since there aren't that many submissions, it's the most recent work, but once I get enough submissions, hope to only display a couple of 'features' or 'top voted' images.

Now that you mention it, I can see the many fonts not mixing well too. Do you have any suggestions regarding the color?

Yeah, the tag line is just a place holder for not having something better, need to brainstorm harder... The content concentric idea with a few images is definitely a good one. I was thinking of something like TED.com where things are tiled,

Excellent idea regarding the art page, I'll definitely need to redo that page. I already applied your suggestion for art submitting/evolving page, I can definitely see it attracting more people that way by showing the guts. Really appreciat

Ah yes, I just applied a new design with the info and thumbnails side by side, hopefully solving this problem. A good lesson for me (I am just getting started with the web design and ui aspect of things). Thanks!

Thanks! Those are some great ideas, already applied your advice on the signup form and captcha, this is a excellent point. I agree about the front page content as well. I'm playing with the design now trying to get them fit nicely. Not bein

Just a side project I just hacked in the last few days. Think of it as Github, except for artwork. You can use it to store your creative stuff, but also to fork and derive from other users and the site tracks the derivative/fork tree. Examp

This is exactly the reason I love Pylons as well, I think you summed it up quite well. Simply the fact that it's a minimalistic framework (not another abstraction layer on top Python)
