Para pasar esas tardes de verano en las que no nos podemos echar una siesta, pero tenemos tiempo libre.

¿Cómo se ha hecho éste vídeo? haciendo una foto cada vez que se añadía una cerilla a la casita y montando en orden todas las imágenes al final (menos mal que las cámaras de fotos ponen numeros consecutivos a las fotos que hacen).

This is Jay’s first commercial ever made. A great-looking, informative, and entertaining video about the Sony PSP.
And this is also Mootion.com first video submitted from a regular page.

Now Mootion.com spider can discover videos embedded any page you see, no matter wether it’s a mySpace page, a weblog, etc…

By now we just detect youTube videos (by now == just today). Mootion will detect soon your embedder Vimeo, Metecafe, Revver, etc… videos.

Rube Goldberg Machine

Since the invention of YouTube, people just talked about Rube Goldberg machines but nobody saw one.

This one is funny:

(BTW there’s even a videogame – TIM: The Incredible Machine – about making Rube-Goldberg machines)

Bugs, Features, Rants… What do you want ?

I’ll be updating mOOtion.com code in the next days.

Why? Because I’ve found some things I wanted to change inside mOOtion.
That may be okay for me; but… Is that right for you ? I mean: I have the mOOtion code at hand, and I can change whatever I want whenever I want to.

But.. what about You? I know, mOOtion is OpenSource. But not everybody has the {skill,energy,will,whatever} to get someone else’s code and change it.
Is that your case ? What do YOU want to change/add/remove from mOOtion ?

This blog entry is for you to ask for changes / additions… or just for spotting bugs.
So, please, let me know… What do you want ? :-)

Maintainance 101

Every piece of {hardware,software,wheteverware} needs maintainance. Period.

This week I’ve found Google Video and YouTube have changed their page templates. Since mOOtion spiders their sites to grab the embed html code needed to put their videos on our site, the submit option hasn’t been working as it shoud.

Now it’s fixed: you can publish videos on mOOtion as usual.
