How to download videos from YouTube?

Probably, there is very small percentage of people who are using the Internet, but have never heard/used the video service in Google ownership – YouTube. Firstly, on YouTube you could find video clips (music spots and similar) of all different “qualities“ and resolutions. Last year, in November YouTube has allowed uploading of 720p video clips. Videos with lower resolution (which was only supported) you could easily download with Javascipt code in the Bookmark folder of your browser (I am using Firefox). With HD video that’s doesn’t work anymore, but I have found a matching code for the download of HD video, also. (more…)

Syntax Highlighter/Code Snippet/Plugin

< ?php echo "Syntax Highlighter" . "/Code Snippet/Plugin"; ?> <br />

The one thing that I really needed was for easier editing and writing of my posts and putting source code onto my web-page/blog for viewing only, i.e. the code mustn’t be rendered (translated). Wordpress has one built-in, but it’s a little poor, something is translated, something isn’t and similar. I was looking for some add-on/plugin which would have the capability to highlight/color some parts of code, i.e. code can be easy readable without any “translation“ (for example <br> tag musn’t be rendered as a new line). I have found one interesting add-on called CodeHighlighter and from the beginning it seems quite good (also, it has the advantageous possibility to put line numbers at the left side of the code). But, when PHP code came up which contained HTML code (especially <br> tag) – it wasn’t translated properly, so the code which I didn’t wish to show wasn’t right, because the <br> tag wasn’t there. I tried to configure some files, add <br> tag in Visual layout, but all without any success – stupidly, he has translate it anyway. (more…)

Own buttons (HTML view – Wordpress)

As I have little “break-in“ to my web-page/blog, certain posts are really big/long and they require many different, personal (own) tags. This relates, for example, to Titles (which have a dashed line at top and bottom and a bigger font), pictures, lists, font colour and similar. From the beginning of my web-site I have tried to be precise and pedantic (as befits my general manner, maybe a little excessively :)) and all my posts are written “by hand“ in HTM view in Wordpress. What do I mean “by hand“? For example, if I want to add a picture to my post, I must add the following code and change it’s picture location, for each and every single picture, particulary.

<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.svebee.com/images/phpmysql_2/original/15.jpg"><img style="margin: 5px" src="http://www.svebee.com/images/phpmysql_2/15_thumb.jpg" alt="PHP & MySQL vodič - osnove" /></a></p>

This is one of the Titles in PHP guide.

<a name=skupovi_znakova_strings><p style="font-size: 1.5em; border-top:1px dashed black; border-bottom:1px dashed black">Skupovi znakova (eng. strings) | <strong><a href="#"><font color=blue>strings.php</font></a></strong></p></a>

Internet Radio – ShoutCast

In this tutorial, I’ll describe how to set-up your own internet radio streaming – you’ll send information (songs/voice/whatever…) from your computer to a server (which you have bought), which will foward the songs further to your radio listeners. Also, I’ll describe how to make a form on your web-server (web-site) which will show what is currently playing, what’s next, most popular songs, formular for requests (visitor request some song – and radio automaticly plays it) and so on (a playlist).

Remote Desktop – TeamViewer

Remote Desktop, put simply, is a connection between two computers where one controls the other in a way where one sees the screen of other. Actually, it’s like you are sitting in front of that computer although physically you aren’t there ( of course some things are disabled), but most of things can be done and you are still in front of your own computer, at home. If you were in a situation where you must repair the software on somebody’s computer you can just imagine how much Remote Desktop could make things easier because you don’t need to transport that computer because of some banal problem which you can simply solve at your home computer in the comfort of your own chair, whilst saving you time and money with the same productivity (software only, of course, because for hardware (unfortunately) you must have physical access to computer). There are a lot of solutions for Remote Desktop, Windows operating system have one, there are web solutions like LogMeIn (this company is also popular because of program Hamachi for creating virtual LAN networks), and there are “normal” (programs) solutions from other companies representative of which is TeamViewer.
