Today google open sourced the vp8 video codec which they acquired when they purchased On2 Technologies which has triggered the largest splash i've seen in the internet world in a long time. Everyone knew they were going to do it and there was a buzz of speculation surrounding the rumors of what it would do for current standards war occuring in the web browser market. I, myself, stated some time ago that it could be game changer since it would provide the much needed 'third party' standard that was needed to prevent another standards fragmentation for web content.]]> http://blog.realmofzod.com/2010/05/19/how-google-won-the-html5-video-standards-war/feed/ 0 Remotely Managing Wordpress with PHP http://blog.realmofzod.com/2010/04/08/remotely-managing-wordpress-with-php/ http://blog.realmofzod.com/2010/04/08/remotely-managing-wordpress-with-php/#comments Thu, 08 Apr 2010 15:56:10 +0000 brandon http://blog.realmofzod.com/?p=241
Wordpress is the ubiquitious platform these days although I hope to change this with the inevitable release of Silk CMS in the next month or so. In my line of work, I tend to have to install many, many copies of wordpress all over the place. Wordpress makes a great platform for deploying niche sets especially and comes with hundreds of plugins that make creating these sites dirt simple. Anyone who has managed niche sites can attest that it becomes quite unwieldy to manage hundreds of websites. It helps to standardize on a common infrastructure for all of them (ie, themes, plugins, etc) however each site needs to be slightly customized to a particular niche. Plugin settings need to be tweaked, headers changed, sublines updated, etc. Uploading wordpress to each host and manually unzipping it and re-uploading everything that is non-stock is one way to go about it but it's tedious and time consuming. If you happen to host on a hosting service that offers fantastico your job is a little easier but not by much.]]> http://blog.realmofzod.com/2010/04/08/remotely-managing-wordpress-with-php/feed/ 0 Google lays down the gauntlet with ChromeOS http://blog.realmofzod.com/2009/11/20/google-lays-down-the-gauntlet-with-chromeos/ http://blog.realmofzod.com/2009/11/20/google-lays-down-the-gauntlet-with-chromeos/#comments Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:25:27 +0000 brandon http://blog.realmofzod.com/?p=171 http://blog.realmofzod.com/2009/11/20/google-lays-down-the-gauntlet-with-chromeos/feed/ 0 Microsoft wastes our time with Bing http://blog.realmofzod.com/2009/09/15/microsoft-wastes-our-time-with-bing/ http://blog.realmofzod.com/2009/09/15/microsoft-wastes-our-time-with-bing/#comments Tue, 15 Sep 2009 15:00:44 +0000 brandon http://blog.realmofzod.com/?p=136 http://blog.realmofzod.com/2009/09/15/microsoft-wastes-our-time-with-bing/feed/ 0 Tweet your blog post to multiple twitter accounts http://blog.realmofzod.com/2009/09/10/tweet-your-blog-post-to-multiple-twitter-accounts/ http://blog.realmofzod.com/2009/09/10/tweet-your-blog-post-to-multiple-twitter-accounts/#comments Thu, 10 Sep 2009 18:58:06 +0000 brandon http://blog.realmofzod.com/?p=124 http://blog.realmofzod.com/2009/09/10/tweet-your-blog-post-to-multiple-twitter-accounts/feed/ 0 Rendering True Type Fonts in Wordpresss http://blog.realmofzod.com/2009/07/11/rendering-true-type-fonts-in-wordpresss/ http://blog.realmofzod.com/2009/07/11/rendering-true-type-fonts-in-wordpresss/#comments Sat, 11 Jul 2009 14:37:42 +0000 brandon http://blog.realmofzod.com/?p=103 http://blog.realmofzod.com/2009/07/11/rendering-true-type-fonts-in-wordpresss/feed/ 0 Implement a Rest API with the Zend Framework http://blog.realmofzod.com/2009/05/06/implement-a-rest-api-with-the-zend-framework/ http://blog.realmofzod.com/2009/05/06/implement-a-rest-api-with-the-zend-framework/#comments Thu, 07 May 2009 03:08:32 +0000 brandon http://blog.realmofzod.com/?p=73 http://blog.realmofzod.com/2009/05/06/implement-a-rest-api-with-the-zend-framework/feed/ 20 End of Life for Internet Explorer 6.
