Hi

Well I managed to take some time out over the weekend, it was good to get away from the computer for a few hours at least. Unfortunately the website won't get finished like that so it's back to business again.

Today I have been concentrating on the video streaming aspects for the site, inparticular what format of compression codec to use that will suite most peoples browsers. With broadband starting to take off it would be easy to think that this would be straight forward, unfortunately there are still a lot of people around the world on slower dial-up and with older browsers. Anyway after a lot of deliberation I have decided to go for flash video (.flv) for viewing and a choice of either Quicktime (mpeg) or WindowsMedia 9 (.wmv) for download, it means a little more work for me but I think the choice will be well worth while.

So more staring at the computer again but I am quite happy with the progress i'm making.

and back to me...
