Since Getting a video iPod

I have had a mixed experience of pain, joy, confusion and wonder, but best of all is CARTOONS. Channel Frederator, from the people who brought us Cow and Chicken and The Fairly Odd Parents, etc put together a great video podcast of animations they get sent from people. Easy to forget how atomfilms used to be the only place you could get this kind of fix, in one place. No more. Love it.

OPML Editor WordPress.root oddness?

I just had a look to see how I can assign my WP categories to posts made via the OPML Editor – right click on the title outline in the WP Workspace – imagine my surprise when I saw now my lost of Categories – but (a shortened version of) Daves!!

Extending the Yahooniverse!

Nice to see Yahoo! further enhancing their Flash based YahooMaps Beta with satellite imagery, extending the Yahooniverse! [only 56 hits on Google so far - 21 hits on Yahoo! :) ]

Crossposting test

Testing a crosspost to this blog using the OPML Editor and wordpress.root Tool.

Will test insertion of media types which native WP does not support – ie: Flash.

Trying my Flash OPML Blogroll from my old OPML blog:

Hmmm… it should be there above this. it isn’t. I imagine they must be stripping out the OBJECT and EMBED tags using the PHP strip_tags function – where it’s easy to strip out tags you don’t want from a post – and allow those you do.

Oh well.

Who is this ‘kosso’ anyway?

I am a 'Createc'. A creative technologist, entrepreneur/ hacker/ geek. Worked on building things on the web for over 12 years.

Used to work at BBC News interactive and created the publishing and delivery systems for video news to get distributed on huge screens in major railway stations around the country.

I left the BBC to become CTO / sole-lead architect/developer at podcast.com for three years.

I have now left them to build a start up a new system called 'Phreadz', which is a 'Social Multimedia Conversation Network', integrating everything that is 'V.I.T.A.L' to us on the web. Video, Images, Text, Audio and Links.

I built the whole thing my myself and will soon be looking for funds to expand the team and system to make it available to launch.

There are currently happy and helpful 500 (closed) beta testers on the system so far and one client of a white-labelled solution.

Phreadz has a business model, which is already working.
