Free FLV Converter

I am using Free FLV Converter to convert FLV files. It works super. This post is for me so I can find this tool again later ;-)

.swf file test 2 with sound from the Piano Stairs in Stockholm.

.swf Test 1

I converted a FLV file into a SWF file with Chris Dolan’s FLV-Info. I want this .swf file to loop but this is not working yet. I also want to test files with sound. The html code used to show this:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="320" height="240" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs
/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="play" value="true" /><param name="loop" value="true" /><param name="src" value="http://www.broerse.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/e8.swf" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="320" height="240" src="href="http://www.broerse.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/e8.swf" loop="true" play="true" quality="high"></embed></object>

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

Bing Crosby, Carmella Bing or Bing cherry?

In my search for “add url to Bing” one of the first things that came up where Bing Crosby and Carmella Bing. This made me wonder where the name Bing came from. Perhaps some programmer at Microsoft was thinking of one of the two Bing’s and a widely cultivated large sweet cherry having glossy dark red skin and firm juicy flesh and came up with “Bing cherry“. It is a pity he forgot to implement “add url to Bing” after searching for images of Carmella Bing. Microsoft indicated that the name Bing “was memorable, short, easy to spell, and that would function well as a URL around the world” and reminded people of the sound made during “the moment of discovery and decision making.” but we know better….
