so if i want to embed
the shoutcast from:

right here in this post…

i can write :

[ audio:http://64.236.34.97:80/stream/1016 ]

and low and behold, it seems to work:

assuming you have mplayer properly installed on your mac os x (Tiger) system,
you can create applescripts to grab movies from the web.
i made one for wmx files that works quite nice.

this little tidbit from ericlager in a comment at macosxhints was helpful:
set newFile to POSIX path of (choose file name with prompt "Save movie as:" default name "iTunes Video.mov")

Over here:

someone reported the same error and then ./configured with –disable-win32
and was able to get past that WINE related error…

then i got an error related to mp3lame

then i found this command:
sudo oprt    port -dv install mplayer
via google on the opendarwin list

i had already installed macPorts from the suggestion here:
http://www2.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/macos.html

and that seemed to work like a charm…

A couple recommendations:

Of course browsing with FireFox kicks Internet explorer and Safari in the rump:

Firefox can be nicely enhanced with these beauties:
FireBug
PDF download

WordPress is a super fantastic pseudoCMSish blogging system extrodinaire:

WordPress plugin enhancements:

I created the attached flash file…Calculator
in the future this widget could be expanded to create a dynamic map autoplacing each autosized circle and allowing links and jpg images for each circle… saving the whole shabang as xml and reloading/editing at will…
thats a bit more work than i have in me tonight…

but i hope this calculator is just right for now!

This posting is a community experiment that tests how a meme, represented by this blog posting, spreads across blogspace, physical space and time. It will help to show how ideas travel across blogs in space and time and how blogs are connected. It may also help to show which blogs are most influential in the propagation of memes. The dataset from this experiment will be public, and can be located via Google (or Technorati) by doing a search for the GUID for this meme (below).

The original posting for this experiment is located at: Minding the Planet (Permalink: http://novaspivack.typepad.com/nova_spivacks_weblog/2004/08/a_sonar_ping_of.html) – results and commentary will appear there in the future.

Please join the test by adding your blog (see instructions, below) and inviting your friends to participate — the more the better. The data from this test will be public and open; others may use it to visualize and study the connectedness of blogspace and the propagation of memes across blogs.

The GUID for this experiment is: as098398298250swg9e98929872525389t9987898tq98wteqtgaq62010920352598gawst (this GUID enables anyone to easily search Google (or Technorati) for all blogs that participate in this experiment). Anyone is free to analyze the data of this experiment. Please publicize your analysis of the data, and/or any comments by adding comments onto the original post (see URL above). (Note: it would be interesting to see a geographic map or a temporal animation, as well as a social network map of the propagation of this meme.)
