I work for a cellular provider in Canada and we use GSM (huge hint ) were coming out with a new data network I think Verison just beat us to it called HSDPA (High Speed Data Packet Access or something) its pretty interesting double the speed of the CDMA providers network right now. With data and now video calling starting to become the norm it will all depend on data speed not call quality in my opinion.-Jordan

Might sound corny but depending on what its for you can slow down the actors a bit and it does the same thing as shooting at a higher frame rate. Then you just need to slow it down a little to get a "special effects" feel while still maintaining frame rate.Takes alot of practice, we did it for a kung fu fight scene in a music video we shot for a drama class a few years back. It helps to work out the numbers (wasnt involved in that sorry) our guys had position points they hit when a guy called out time on a stop watch so they knew how much slower they were moving compared to 'real life'.You can rent high speed cameras if your in a city with a rental company of that type. But they are expensive.Good luck.-Jordan

Well I just did a fresh install instead of an upgrade. I wasnt far on the page so I didnt mind what I lost. You can check out the site as I work on it at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ I really like the flexibility of drupal and after the fantastico version which had a bug that locked me out of my site 5.1 is a nice change. Im using the default theme right now before I start modification. The modules are going in quite nicely.Overall a very nice version. I would highly recommend this CMS if you have time to work it out.

When I first joined I read almost every sticky post I could find. One phrase that stuck with me went something like 'take your time posting, get to know the forum'. I don't post a lot, but I post steadily. I keep a week+ most of the time. I see a lot of questions without answers, perhaps if people who found their answers elsewhere come back to post the answers more people would use the forum as a resource and increase their credits as well.What if we think of a project to work on, then all posting could count towards hosting credits. Or have the mods approve projects to have a forum if they meet certain criteria. Could be interesting.-Jordan

unimatrix: Thank you for suggesting postgreSQL, after looking into it I like how the database can do alot of the work. Im trying to get it installed with 5.1 but am having problems (something about php.ini, had this problem?)Brian: Youve got it pretty much right, I want active rating as well as passive rating, length of time article is viewed. If links were clicked could all be factored in. At first I will just use aggregator for content but perhaps down the road something could analyze video and audio content ;)Can anyone help with the Drupal + PostgreSQL issue?-Jordan

I work for a cell phone company. As a user of one though I constantly use google sms (https://www.google.com/mobile/sms/). So you must be able to do this if were accessing google info through sms. Facebook does it as well.Im kind of interested in this myself I know that you can rent a 5 digit cell phone number for calling or sms (dreaded premium messages). Even if you just had a cell phone with a nothing plan (can receive unlm sms on most providers) you could connect it and write a script that uploads the info to mySQL.-Jordan

Looks like this will be the second time I post in this category before a response, this could potentially go in the programming or web design categories but since I plan to modify Drupals taxonomy module for this Im looking for readers/commenters familiar with Drupal (unless another CMS would be better).Im working on building my site and have the intention of designing a prefference engine for my visitors, based off the visitors history and off of user generated preference data I would like to have an engine that will present the viewer with content of interest to them. Always a hard thing to do but with the help of the Taxonomy module I have some ideas. (Looking for more).Since you can already link terms vertically and horizontally the only thing I can think to add would be values to the terms. For example an article could be a 7 on the news scale (from 1-10 so a person VERY interested in news would perhaps find it a little weak but a person not at all interested in news would find it too much. (Make sense?)This would be easy to impliment with another database entry to hold the value of the term both for user preferences and for values associated to the content it links too.The idea being as a user goes on the values will adjust as well as new terms being added or removed from the preferences array.Also I want to develop an automatic 'crawler' of sorts that will take in aggregator info or search it out itself and classify it using the taxonomy data. The database would be pretty big but im not worried about that right now.What do you guys think? There is a little more detail to go over but im at work right now and am running out of time. I will add more when I get a chance...-Jordan

Thanks pyost,First off the GetAFreelancer.com site is pretty much exactly what I was looking for, I was hoping to get a sketch (nothing professional at first) just to approve the design. As far as what I'm looking for is at first just a header for the site, a banner that stretches across all the information. Below I will have file tabs for different content streams on my site. I dont think im looking for a logo just yet, that would be something id sit down with a graphic designer and get the whole site plan figured out then. Right now just something to put up the top instead of just the title.As far as hosting credits I would need some time to gather some, im living week to week at the moment but would definitely be interested in an arrangement like that. Thanks again for the help, if anyone would like more details or to discuss what im looking for on the logo my e-mail is vitoriousvita -at- gmail.com or you can msn me at armstrong80 -at- hotmail.comRegards,-Jordan

I am getting my site together http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and will eventually be needing help with my graphic design. I know coding well but have very basic graphic skills the're clean but lack that little something extra.What I am looking for is a piece work site where you request a job and get submissions paying the one you like. Perhaps im asking for too much hoping someone let me see the idea before paying for it.Of course im not looking to pay too much however if the partnership works there will be work in the future. Does anyone have any suggestions? Perhaps someone is interested at this site?Regards,-Jordan

Wondering if anyone has tried to update to drupal 5? I have gone through their instructions on updating the install I did off the cPanel (from 4.7). I had to set the settings.php writable but now I get a crazy error: ray( 'content' => $content, 'region' => $region, 'title' => $title )); } /** * Default callback for PHPTemplate. * * Load a template file, and pass the variable array to it. * If the suggested file is not found, PHPTemplate will attempt to use * a $hook.tpl.php file in the template directory, and failing that a * $hook.tpl.php in the PHPTemplate directory. * * @param $hook * The name of the theme function being executed. * @param $variables * A sequential array of variables passed to the theme function. * @param $suggestions * An array of suggested template files to use. */ function _phptemplate_default($hook, $variables, $suggestions = array(), $extension = '.tpl.php') { global $theme_engine; // Loop through any suggestions in FIFO order. $suggestions = array_reverse($suggestions); foreach ($suggestions as $suggestion) { if (!empty($suggestion) && file_exists(path_to_theme() .'/'. $suggestion . $extension)) { $file = path_to_theme() .'/'. $suggestion . $extension; break; } } if (!isset($file)) { if (file_exists(path_to_theme() ."/$hook$extension")) { $file = path_to_theme() ."/$hook$extension"; } else { if (in_array($hook, array('node', 'block', 'box', 'comment'))) { $file = path_to_engine() .'/'. $hook . $extension; } else { $variables['hook'] = $hook; watchdog('error', t('%engine.engine was instructed to override the %name theme function, but no valid template file was found.', array('%engine' => $theme_engine, '%name' => $hook))); $file = path_to_engine() .'/default'. $extension; } } } if (isset($file)) { return call_user_func('_'. $theme_engine .'_render', $file, $variables); } } function _phptemplate_render($file, $variables) { extract($variables, EXTR_SKIP); // Extract the variables to a local namespace ob_start(); // Start output buffering include "./$file"; // Include the file $contents = ob_get_contents(); // Get the contents of the buffer ob_end_clean(); // End buffering and discard return $contents; // Return the contents } ?>Fatal error: Call to undefined function module_exist() in /home/vitoriou/public_html/cms/modules/node.module on line 834 Any help is appreciated. -Jordan

I had posted this on my Facebook a while back, here's an article on the discovery itself: LINK yordan: You're referring to an radio telescope I believe. The kind they use for the SETI project and deep space viewing, often set up in huge Y arrays. There they assign colour values to the different densities of sound much like they do on a cat scan to get a viewable image from data. This is an infrared telescope in this example see info on infrared astronomy HERE. Which is pretty much the same thing, "As infrared is essentially heat radiation." But depending on the type of telescope (not sure in this case the signal can be pretty close to viewable wavelengths so only minor tweaking is required. Other types could potentially present a vibrant image which would look alot different in person. So I guess the answer is no its not "real life" but its potentially alot closer than other telescope technologies. On a side note the image is of a system much like our own, in about 5 billion years our sun will do that. -Jordan

I think some kind of value ranking would be nice, perhaps a rating system by readers. I started to participate in a discussion HERE on a topic I find interesting, however as you read through it sounds like Bob from '50 First Dates' Google lost its case in the UK 'OH NO WHAT ABOUT MY @GMAIL.COM ACCOUNT?' Dont worry, they lost the brand name not the domain but did you read how they got the brand name in the first place? 'Google should just use their money to buy back the domain! WHAT ABOUT MY @GMAIL.COM ACCOUNT?' Perhaps I'm being cynical but it seems people are quick to post without researching the subject simply to get the hosting credits. From my short time here it seems a frustration for the admins to deny request after request from people not truly interested in the idea of the site. Either way by allowing the readers to rate the articles and using that as an additional weight to the post length (loose eg: Hosting credits =post length * rating, with whatever kind of weighting and constants required) That way the admins wouldnt need to check people who have gotten the credits but added no value to the board as their posts would just be worth nothing because we rejected them as worthless. Thoughts? -Jordan

I have read a few articles about this, seems the wording varies on how 'techie' the reader base is. All computing sites say it was intense, but national news pages talked more about how its distributed and is designed to weather these kind of attacks. Probably just trying not to scare anyone. Check out what is looks like on a graph, interesting: HERE -Jordan

You should read the article he linked to its interesting. Were talking about the legal rights to a brand name. Gmail was a product by the company in the UK (IIIR) but Google did some shifty work to get the rights to the brand name first.If/when any action is taken in North America my guess is they would stop releasing new e-mails with the extension but current customers would get to keep their @gmail.com accounts. You would see no reference to Gmail on the site and there may even be an announcement from 'corporate'.Nothing to get worried about from a customer standpoint unless of course your concerned about branding legislation and shady corporate going ons -Jordan

Have you gotten more hosts to donate space or are your current hosts upgrading or releasing more of their systems? This is just incredible I will be setting up my account this week!Cheers!-Jordan
