Yo, peeps, hooligans, and whatnots. I’m here at the Oglethorpe University library’s computer lab in my second full day as a college student.
So far, its been going OK. Plus, I’m finding the Fresh Focus class (mine is “Si Amigo: an introduction to Spanish culture” [sic]) to be very thought-provoking. Plus, I’ve found a few computer/vg afficionados who’re as deep into this stuff as I am, lol.
Class officially starts tomorrow, so I’m hoping that it isn’t that challenging (as to the point that I would say “the hell with it”).
Oh, and I’ve come across a few new ideas for Mozilla to work on in the near future:
Windhorse/Media project – creating a Gecko-layout media platform that resembles, at once, both Winamp and Realplayer in its functionality but still holds the Mozilla trademark. Windhorse is standalone, while Media is an extension for both Firefox and Thunderbird which allows you to listen to/watch online media (and gives you the choice as to whether to stream or save-as), and it is accesible through both the preferences toolbar (on top) and its own sidebar (alot like Internet Explorer’s Media bar as well). Windhorse even comes with a “bookmarks system” which resembles Winamp in that it preliminarily provides both NSV and Shoutcast directories, and allows you to bookmark online media and, if you want, save it onto your hard drive. Windhorse will use codec extensions (.xpi), among others, in order to extend the accessibility for all formats (including extensions for Real Alternative and Quicktime Alternative, from http://free-codecs.com, as well as Winamp Alternative from http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Winamp_Alternative/1119628827/1), thus making it universal-format and non-reliant upon other media players.
I’ll tell you more, gotta go!
