Oh, hi there and welcome to this humble home!
I intend to use this site for storing things I should remember and gentle introductions to some of my projects and is probably of very little interest to you.
Rolling Stone published a list of the 100 best guitarists. Albert King, ranking 13th, said after he opened for Jimi Hendrix at the Fillmore in 1967
I taught [Hendrix] a lesson about the blues, I could have easily played his songs, but he couldn't play mine.
Albert King
Your foot’s centerpiece is the arch […] The beauty of any arch is the way it gets stronger under stress; the harder you push down, the tighter its parts mesh. No stonemason worth his trowel would ever stick a support under an arch; push up from underneath, and you weaken the whole structure.
Christopher McDougall, Born To Run, p126
What kind of stonemason are you? Free your feet! :)
A friend showed me there are full Russian movies available, some with, but most without subtitles. To be able to view these with subtitles, I made a little script that helps me with this.
The main file is js.php, which will parse a srt-file, and generate a javascript file that will request every 250ms the current time in the youtube clip, and show the corresponding subtitle (which only allows the italic tag to be used).
You can view clips on this site without problems, but some (like the movies, usually) clips are only available when viewing on http://youtube.com.
To get something functional on the youtube.com domain, however, we need to insert our custom javascript into the HTML. For that, I created a little script that can be used in Opera (I tested it in Opera), and, hence, should also work in Firefox with Greasemonkey (Opera and Greasemonkey scripts are very compatible).
Check out some samples on http://jerous.thimhallan.org/projects/ytsubs, and let me know of some good other examples :)
Future work:
The source of all files will soon come online in a git repository.
