I asked Diana a couple nights ago if content access permissions for the media server (and by extension, as a general rule) should default to open or closed. Her answer was a resounding “closed”. I suspect most people, when the problem is explained to them, will answer the same. Hell, I think I might do so myself.

But unlike most people, I can envision the incredible possibilities for data mining projects (both selfish and altruistic) that would be possible with a system that defaults to open… In fact, I have to question whether it’s even worth the effort to make the interfaces to all this content uniform if the stuff that should be publicly accessible isn’t…

Zyps presentation...

Here’s the presentation I gave at Code Camp, uploaded to Google Docs…

Haven’t heard everything that Phat Drumloops has to offer, but “Hogin’ Machine” and “Schoolboy Crush” are freakin’ sweeeet.

Ruby/SDL

Goddamn, you mean to tell me the difference between full-screen and windowed in (Ruby) SDL is from this:

SDL::setVideoMode(640,480,16,SDL::SWSURFACE)

…to this?

SDL::setVideoMode(640,480,16,SDL::FULLSCREEN)

I’m going to like this framework, even if the English documentation is crap right now.
