YouTube doubles video size limit to 2 GB

Posted by Amir Sahib on 02 Jul, 2009 at 01:34 PM in Tech, Video

Hopefully we’ll have more HD content on YouTube now.

We’re happy to announce that the size of standard uploads has doubled from 1GB to 2GB. The increase means you can upload longer videos at a higher resolution as well as large HD files directly from your camera.

Looks like Nintendo has a lot more competition now. I wonder what Sony will do.

Wordpress.com Stats plugin not working?

Posted by Amir Sahib on 16 Jun, 2009 at 06:13 PM in Web Development

I have been Google analytics for years now, but I decided to check out the Wordpress.com Stats plugin. It had always been installed since the inception of all my sites, but they never worked and I never really cared for it until today. I googling to find a solution and basically my theme was missing the footer function in my footer.php:
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
That’s all I needed to add and I began see my stats graph exponentially climb.

Hopefully someone else will find this as a solution when googling.

I have begun my Ubuntu Journey

Posted by Amir Sahib on 31 May, 2009 at 03:56 PM in Ubuntu

So I just installed Ubuntu on an old laptop I had.  I’m currently having video, sound and wireless issues.  That’s beacuse I dont have the proper linux drivers installed.  Also I have the latest Ubuntu (9.04) installed and apparently all the drivers aren’t up to date with the 9.04.y f

Anyways it’s pretty cool.  Very simple, pretty fast.

Anyone with a Gateway laptop (model mx3231) that successful installed Ubuntu with working video, sound and wireless, please let me know.  Thanks!
