With limited time to post any content to the Blog or Twitter micro-blog, being able to reuse/advartise that content seems like a win-win.

If everything goes according to plan, you should be seeing a Showmedo video below (The first part of Chris Perkins’ [...] One of the nice things about the web and coding in general is the occasional little distraction thrown up in the space of toolsets, coding-practice and the like. Today those eddies in cyberspace have brought fonts to the fore, after a while in which I really hadn’t given it too much thought.

Getting Flowplayer up and running on the site was not quite as smooth as the nice web-site and clean API suggested. I’ll be documenting the whole gory process in the ‘Building a Website (with Python, jquery etc..)’ series, but in the meantime I’ll mention the hideous hackery needed to get over the final hurdle that [...] January 17th, 2010 | Category: Building a Website, Kyran's thought for the day, Python tips and tricks | Comments are closed |
