My new doorbell

This is the Internet geek doorbell. I am wondering how to you get all your visitors to tell their weight to a doorbell? Does this doorbell come with a special doormat that also guesses age? More on variations on normal.

Smush.it works

smushitI was just playing with Smush.it . It works but perhaps Smushing from IrfanView or the GIMP would be nice. There is an API for you developers:

http://smush.it/ws.php?img=http://smush.it/css/skin/screenshot.png – example smushed response

http://smush.it/ws.php?img=http://smush.it/css/skin/logo.png – image that cannot be further smushed

All responses are in JSON format.

The only required parameter is img. There are two optional parameters:

  1. id – something that will help you identify the response if you send requests in a batch
  2. task – something that will allow you to group together a bunch of images if you want to get the zip file after that. Make that as unique as possible.

Here’s a scenario. You upload two images with the same task identifier:

http://smush.it/ws.php?task=mytask&img=http://example.org/image1.png

http://smush.it/ws.php?task=mytask&img=http://example.org/image2.png

To get the zipped result go to:

http://smush.it/zip.php?task=mytask

How to add the iTbende to the iTunes store?

According to Katie you must help us by adding the ITbende to your iTunes. It will improve my iTunes experience? Klik here to do so. See Katie’s mail:

Good afternoon Martin,

Thank you for contacting the iTunes Store to let me know you are having a hard time. I understand that you would like your podcast to be on the first page of the podcasts. I know you must be concerned, but there’s no need to worry. My name is Katie and it would be my pleasure to help you out today.

Unfortunately, only the most popular and most downloaded podcasts show up there.

My suggestion would be to start spreading the word about your podcast so that it becomes more popular and gets a lot of downloads.

I hope you find this information helpful, Martin. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I’ll be more than happy to assist you with whatever you need. Thank you for the chance to improve your iTunes experience.

Sincerely,

Katie
iTunes Store Customer Support
