I just saw this Craigslist posting for a new employee at Metaplace (where I worked for a few months):
http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/eng/1573745326.html
The title of the ad is: “Facebook game company seeking Flash developer”.
This is a great path for Metaplace. They have developed some wonderful game technology that is well suited for a Flash client embedded in a Facebook application.

This program contains a Perl function I wrote to extract data about a given video.
It also shows how to parse information from program output and organize it usefully.
This has been used a few times in production systems.
If you use this, please drop a comment! It would be fun to know.
Share and enjoy!

I wanted a test pattern video to test a transcoding daemon I wrote for an iPhone application. I wanted to use the classic RCA test pattern image and a tone.
Simply edit the program header with the path to an image you want to use and the name of the output file you’d like to create.

This creates the small .mov (or whatnot) redirect files that Apple’s makeiPhoneRefMovie generates. This is simply a driver to creat those files with makeiPhoneRefMovie.

# This makes the special iPhone .mov rediect files (~ 300 bytes) that the iPhone

This is a quick Perl script that I wrote to solve a particular problem; I needed to check two directories, one of original files and one of transcoded files, to see which files were missing from the second directory. The files in the second directory have different filename extensions, so the utility needs to take this [...]
This is a script to be run from a daily cron that created a series of sanely named SQL dump files: weekly, monthly, etc.
Always have that backup ready!
