I found this “small” game yesterday. It’s like a low res, old school, vast open 3D world of blocky cooperative creativity. Hopefully it will evolve into something playable someday, but for now; login and dig, explore and create.

» I tried AppJet.com
Did you do something stupid and wanted to make a “Note to self” comment but no one is around to hear it?
It was really easy to understand and use. You only get one document though and it’s all javascript except for stuff you write under special comments like /* appjet:css */ for the stylesheet.
The persistant storage is automagic and all you need to do is create a new storable object and assign it to a variable in the storage object. I haven’t found out how to update records properly. Seems like you need to get, update, remove and add them again.
Conclusion: Great for prototyping!
Example:
if(!storage.notes){
storage.notes = new StorableCollection();
}
storage.notes.add({text: "hello world",
timestamp: new Date()});

More gestures plz
Playing with my new MacBook Pro’s touchpad, I really miss being able to move and resize windows with it. Five finger gesture maybe? Or it could replace the four finger actions.
The up/down to show desktop/all app windows is useful but the left/right appswitching feels broken. I mean, swipe 4 fingers to get the appswitching interface on screen, and then what? The only way I can get something to happen is to switch to two fingers to scroll through the apps and then press space or return, or select app with one finger. If I need to press buttons on the keyboard I’d rather just cmd+tab. If i need to select apps with the pointer, I’d rather click the dock.
While I’m at it, a gesture to switch tabs in safari would be nice too. Three fingers does that in Adium. Actually, a key combination that switches tabs even when you are in a textbox would be nice.
update: Four finger click to activate app in the app switch interface. Hasn’t worked for me until just now thou. Strange.

Just added the service of disqus so ppl can let me know how helpful my blog was to find where to get effects.core.js and how to install ATI catalyst drivers on acer aspire laptops ;)
Stream video from commandline with VLC
$ vlc --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=ts,dst:=8081}' \
--extraintf http /path/to/video.avithen point you’r video player to http://your.server:8081
Easy!
(might need to change your mux according to video format or something. ts seems fine for most .avi)
Update: Added the extra interface “http” that functions as a remote using a web interface. Just surf to http://your.server:8080 to pause, seek etc. It needs port 8080 so I changed stream port to 8081
