From Wired How-To WikiRun a well-encoded video through YouTube's backend compression engine and it's going to turn out looking worse for the wear. It's a well-known critique of the site among videophiles, and to its credit, the video-sharing site has been promising it would start encoding videos at higher resolutions. Thankfully, YouTube is finally making good on that promise. The URL Hack. Add &fmt=18 to the end of a normal YouTube URL. If there's a high quality version available, that extra string will cause it to load Full story |

From Wired How-To WikiThere's nothing more frustrating than searching for a page, finding what looks like a promising result, and then clicking though only to discover that the page is gone. Unfortunately it happens all the time. Servers get jammed, pages are removed, some servers move and some servers are simply no longer maintained. But what happens you want to find a page that's vanished?

How can I make my script based website load faster? One of the easiest ways to make your php based website faster is to gzip it to the browser. Most modern day browsers will first look to see if the page is gzipped (compressed) before sending the page back to your visitors to be loaded.
Take a minute and check your website. (Opens new window)
This will tell you if your website is compressed or not. After making the changes check it again (link above) and it will show you the amount of saving you have.
Quote From the Official "whatsmyip" website:
mod_gzip is an Apache web server module that compresses the HTML as it sends it out. It is compatible with all browsers (old browsers that don't support gzip content will get uncompressed HTML). Using gzip can save you HUGE amounts of bandwidth, and increase the overall performance of your webserver. It also makes a world of difference for people viewing your site on a dial-up modem.
If your website is NOT gzipped:
1) Open your index.php file find
<?php
Paste After (in a new line):
ob_start("ob_gzhandler");
Save & Upload the file.
Old browsers that do not support this will simply load the page as normal.
Modern day browsers like Opera, FireFox, and Internet Explorer support this and have almost since they were first released.

Ever so often I find a story that make me think very hard about my own career and the trappings of security and what it does to the motivation to excel and survive. This story below is one such Wow! moment read. Please have a read and see if the look in your eyes is from the prarie or the zoo.

Programmers in the Wild
Mike Kavis(Enterprise Architect) Posted 3/21/2008 Comments (3) | Trackbacks (0)
 I just read an interesting essay by Paul Graham titled You Weren't Meant to have a Boss. It is a little long but an excellent read if you have the time. An analogy that he uses that caught my attention is his comparison of animals in the wild and animals in the zoo, compared to programmers in startups and programmers in corporations. A lion in the zoo is almost lifeless and painfully lives simply for the next meal and to get through the day. A lion in the wild is free to roam, must kill or be killed, and is always alert.
Then there are the programmers in the wild. Paul sees programmers in startups being very innovative, passionate, and driven. Programmers in the zoo are more conservative, less motivated, and sometimes extremely constrained. I have been at the same corporation for almost 13 years now and in corporate America for 23 years. I have seen many people come and go and here is a pattern that I observed across my entire career.
New employee enters company full of motivation and fresh ideas (In the wild) - Employee begins the socialization process (Captured)
- Employee becomes complacent (In the zoo)
- Employee leaves (In the wild)
Sometimes this process is quick but most of the time this is a multi year evolution. What always catches my eye is that they always have the same look in their eye the day the walk in and the day they leave. That look is the look of a lion roaming the prairie. In between those two times, they often look like the lion at the zoo.
So how do corporations create an environment for programmers in the wild and prevent their staff from feeling like caged animals? If I had the answers I would be making a ton of money telling everyone how. My vote would be to use a collaborative leadership style as opposed to the normal top-down approach. Use collaborative tools like wikis, blogs, and social networks to foster information sharing. Act like a startup instead of a 100 year old corporation. Create an innovative environment and create a reward structure that rewards the people who build applications that work, not the people who fix their own crap that breaks.
How do you stay in the wild? |

11 Common Mistakes People Make When Creating Web Pages
1. Graphic Laden.
A web page should load in a reasonable amount of time. If you use too many graphics, or graphics that are not scaled and saved in an efficient format, your pages will take too long to load. Impatient users will bail out and go to another site. Clean and fast should be your goal when making web pages. You can usually make a very nice layout using HTML and CSS without the whole page being a sliced up graphic. Of course I?ve built sites for people who insisted on pages based entirely on graphics and in that case I usually try to get the Adobe Photoshop files from the graphic artist and slice them and save the slices myself. This way I can mix and match file formats. For example, sections with few colors can be saved as gifs which are usually very small, especially if you tweak the number of colors. Sections that contain more colors or photographs work best as jpg image files. Mixing file types like this, especially of slices of the same image, can cause issues that you should be aware of: colors may not match exactly between a gif and a jpg. For example if you have a background color in the images of adjoining cells you may have trouble getting a gif and jpg to look seamless because of slight color shifts.
2. Poor Color Choices.
Just because it looks cool to you doesn?t mean everyone will find it easy to read. Test your color choices out on a mix of people before you get too far into your design. You don?t want to turn people away just because they have trouble reading the text on your site. There are colors for backgrounds and text that perform better than others for some types of sites, do your research!
3. Too Many Animated Graphics.
You want your visitors to concentrate on whatever your site is about. You don?t want your pages look like the arcade at an amusement park with animated gifs everywhere. A little animation goes a long way.
4. Flash Welcome/Splash Screens.
Flash is big these days and very useful for a lot of tasks, however, one thing you want to avoid is to put a big flash welcome page as the default page of your web site. Most people find it annoying. Their time is valuable and to make them sit through it, or have to click a skip button is just irritating.
5. Cross Browser Compatible Issues.
Always check out your site by viewing it in the main browsers (Internet Explorer, Netscape, Firefox, and Opera) and on a PC and Mac if possible. You?d be surprised how each web browser has its quirks. Sometimes a page will look really bad or completely wrong in one browser and you?ll have to spend time correcting the problem. But, you won?t know unless you test it? don?t rely on your visitors to tell you.
6. Broken Links
This one should be obvious, check you site?s navigation and all the links occasionally. There are tools available to do this for you if you have a really large site.
7. Disjointed Layout and Poor Navigation.
Make sure your site is easy to use. Have someone that?s not familiar with your site try to locate something. Ask them to place an order, or find the page for sending in support questions, etc. Watch them. Listen to what they have to say and adjust your site to make it work better.
8. Missing or Incomplete Contact Information.
Make sure the contact information on your site is kept current and complete.
9. Text in Graphics to Make ?Pretty? vs. Real Text
The font styles are somewhat limited for web pages. Some people want their site to look really good with fonts like you can use in Microsoft Word or other word processor packages. So how do you do that? You make it in Adobe PhotoShop or another graphic package and save out your text, words, paragraphs, etc as images. This works really well as far as good looking text goes, however, because images are larger than text, the pages load slower. The bigger drawback is that you have the words, which tell what your site is about, locked up in images. It?s not accessible to search engines that crawl web sites and catalog them. What does that mean? It means that if you?re relying on getting traffic to your site from search engines you want real text on your site that the search engines can read, not images of text that only humans can read. If your site is not dependant on search engine traffic, then this may not matter other than the slower load time for the image laden pages.
10. Using Something Just To Be Using It.
Don?t use flash, or background sounds, or videos that automatically load and start playing, or JavaScript that opens 900 windows. Only use these things when they are necessary and serve a valid purpose, don?t use them just because you may know how and want to show off.
11. Not Updating the Site Regularly.
As you or your organization changes you should modify your site to reflect those changes. As you add new products or announce new products, etc. you should add them to your site. Your web site can be a tremendous asset in your marketing toolkit, but not if it?s stale and outdated.
I hope that this will help you make a better web site. Learn more about web site creation here: www.WebSiteTrainingOnline.com

Is Simple Really Better?
I’ve come to appreciate minimalistic designs in websites and other interactive media. I like minimal design methodology because it focuses on the content. It is not that pretty sites don’t have good content, but I felt from a philosophical perspective that minimalistic design puts the focus on the content and not the wrapper
I would like any of the artists here to comment on this for me. I think most of the members of my site like the simple designs but I also know that some like the pleasing rush of eye poping and bandwidth hogging graphics.
What are you thoughts on web design and graphics regarding presentation of information.

How to Build a User Community, Part 1
Most user communities take a typical path--the newbies ask questions, and a select group of more advanced users answer them. But that's a slow path to building the community, and it leaves a huge gaping hole in the middle where most users drop out. If we want to keep beginning and intermediate users more engaged (and increase the pool of question answerers), we need them to shift from asker to answerer much earlier in their learning curve. But that leaves two big questions... 1) How do we motivate them? 2) How do we keep them from giving lame answers? Actually, this isn't the biggest problem with most user communities. The real deal-killer is when a new or beginning user asks a "dumb" question. Most supportive, thriving user communities have a culture that encourages users to ask questions, usually through brute-force moderation with a low-to-no-tolerance policy on ridiculing a question. In other words, by forcing participants to "be reasonably nice to newbies", beginners feel safe posing questions without having to start each one with, "I know this is probably a dumb question, but..." It was precisely that idea that led to the original javaranch... in 1997, the comp.lang.java newsgroup was just too nasty a place to ask questions. Even if you were brave enough to ask an obviously stupid one, the slamming you got was enough to make it your last. And without users asking questions, the community evaporates. But most user communities--especially the new ones--aren't hurting for people asking for help, they're in desperate need of people willing to help the newbies. And one of the quickest ways to keep a user community from emerging is when questions go unanswered. So the real problem is getting people to answer questions. Encouraging a "There Are No Dumb Questions" culture is only part of the solution. What we really need is a "There are No Dumb Answers" policy. The best way to grow a user community is to get even the beginners to start answering questions. The more they become involved, the more likely they are to stick with it through the rough spots in their own learning curve, and we all know that having to teach or explain something to another person accelerates our own understanding and memory of the topic. The problem, of course, is that the beginners are... beginners. So, here are a few tips used by javaranch, one of the most successful user communities on the planet (3/4 million unique visitors each MONTH): 1) Encourage newer users--especially those who've been active askers--to start trying to answer questions
One way to help is by making sure that the moderators are not always the Ones Who Know All. Sometimes you have to hold back the experts to give others a chance to step in and give it a try. 2) Give tips on how to answer questions
Post articles and tips on how to answer questions, which also helps people learn to communicate better. You can include tips on how to write articles, teach a tough topic, etc. 3) Tell them it's OK to guess a little, as long as they ADMIT they're guessing 4) Adopt a near-zero-tolerance "Be Nice" policy when people answer questions
Don't allow other participants (especially the more advanced users) to slam anyone's answer. A lot of technical forums especially are extremely harsh, and have a culture where the regulars say things like, "If you think that, you have no business answering a question. In fact, you have no business even DREAMING about being a programmer. Better keep your paper hat day job, loser." 5) Teach and encourage the more advanced users (including moderators) how to correct a wrong answer while maintaining the original answerer's dignity.
And again, zero-tolerance for a**holes. All it takes is one jerk to stop someone from ever trying it again. 6) Re-examine your reward/levels strategy for your community
Is there a clear way for new users to move up the ranks? Are there achievable, meaningful "levels"? I'd love to hear some examples of other user communities you think are doing a good job at this. Javaranch isn't perfect, but it's one of the best I've seen (again, all the best stuff there happened after I turned it over to Paul Wheaton, so I can't really take credit). Also, before you point out counter-examples of successful communities like slashdot... remember, I'm talking about user communities--people using a particular product or service--and not just any community. I'm sure there are tons of, say, political forums where a "be nice" policy is not only unneccessary, but most likely impossible. Your ideas? Posted by Kathy Sierra on December 3, 2006
