MSN soapbox goes beta

Soapbox

Microsoft lanched Soapbox – the web service similar to YouTube. The service is working now as private beta. But Microsoft is accepting requests from users who would like to test it (basically, it’s modern tendency).

Microsoft is planning to integrate soapbox with Windows Live Spaces, allowing users to add videos to their profiles, control who can see various videos. You’ll also be able to watch videos together with other users through an instant messaging program.

Mosaic images and video with Perl

Perl is cool and geek! You can do many thing using it and not just simple scripts. You have to just know how to do it. Tomorrow I found two articles on 128.ibm.com: “Create mosaic images with Perl and ImageMagick” and “Create mosaic movies with Perl, ImageMagick, and MPlayer“. Source code is available for both articles.
