Ok I know that webcams have traditionally been the foray of late night adventuring in the digital world. Still they really do have a role in a business contexta and I can actually see that this:

could well make it better. Positioning a web cam just plain sucks.  And when you finally get it right then a fat cat just comes over and knocks it over.  Cool product, small company, nice people (we met through Chris Pirillo's Brain Trust ).

Open Source Projects I've Been Meaning to Play With

Some things I know I need to look at

• http://www.wbloggar.com/
• http://sourceforge.net/projects/php-blog/
• http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpwebsite/

I've heard good things about all of them and 2 out of the 3 are in PHP.  And I know the author of one.  How can I go wrong?

Keith's Back

Good comments on Namespaces:

As I understand it, namespaces were intended to make possible exactly this.

So, supposedly you have some standard XML-based markup language (SXBML), and you want to include a document of some other standard XML-based markup language (SOSXBML) inside an SXBML document. So as to not "pollute" your pure SXBML, you distance yourself from that foreign markup by saying "Hey, he's not with me", and you partition it within your document using a namespace.

You'll never want to include some XML that isn't part of some standard and therefore has no namespace, you see. And naturally, each of your standards has been defined by some magnificent schema that encapsulates all the semantics (meaning) about every tag. This lets you use automated tools that magically know what to do with your document.

Yeah, right.

Note: I've been lax on linking to others lately so today will probably be a bunch of outbound links.

Feedster, Opera and You

Here's a great Feedster tip for Opera users:

In Opera, if one is interested in searching from something on Google, AllTheWeb, or a couple of others, all they need to do is type in something like g 'search string' in the url bar to search google or i 'Elizabeth Fraser' if you're into the Cocteau Twins for example. Well, what I wanted was a way to do this with Feedster, so this morning after lamenting over the fact that I couldn't just hit f 'matrix yawn' to find Jeremy Zawodnys post on Matrix Reloaded, I decided to do something about it.
