Nice day in Florida.
Weather is great, crowds are pretty heavy. Was in the Magic Kingdom at 7:30 am this morning.
Best of all I'm not at work!
Kinda busy today.
This is New Years Eve at the Magic Kingdom. We arrived early and were in the park by 7:30 am. By lunch time the place was crawling with people. Too many to move. Space Mountain was 150 minute wait.

How to embed higer quality youtube videos.
YouTube doesn't provide an easy way to embed the higher quality version of the clips. There are several pages with instructions on how to craft the url properly to do it however.
The easiest one is from twittervlog.tv. You just past in the video id code and click "create code" and then copy the embed into your blog.

HFS - The HTTP File Server
HFS offers a very easy way to use http to serve a directory of files with your Windows PC.
HFS download page and beta version (recommended).
For support check the FAQ or the Forum.
Download the single file from the beta forum. Create a directory to place the file and use Explorer to run it directly.
Files or directories to share are added by right clicking on the / under the Virtual File System pane in the program window.
You'll need to open a port (such as 8080, 8081, etc.) on your router and then assign that port to HFS.
If a directory contains an index.html file than that is presented to the web browser. If no index.html exists then the HFS internal template is used to display a listing of the files in the directory.
Many templates exist and can be found here on the forum.

SlimFTPd really small ftp server
SlimFTPd ftp server setup and installation for windows xp.
Download the single .zip from WhitSoft.
Create a directory to install the executable, there is no installer for the program files. I put mine in F:\SlimFTPd
Now create the ftp directory that you will mount with the server. Mine is F:\Video\Driveway Camera
Edit the slimftpd.conf file that is in the install directory. The only change I made to the server config was to set LookupHosts Off.
Next scroll to the end of the config file and add your user information:
<User "usernamehere">
Password "passwordhere"
Mount / F:\Video\DrivewayCamera
Allow / All
</User>
Next run the SlimFTPd.exe file to make sure it works properly. You can use Windows Explorer to connect to the server.
To install as a service run the ServiceTool.exe file.
Start the new service with
net start slimftpd
from a command prompt or the Start->Run prompt.
