Most cameras record in MPEG-4 format (an .MP4 or .MOV file) and one really annoying thing when videoblogging is that Windows Movie Maker can't open the source footage. One solution would be to use Quicktime Pro for basic editing or use it to convert the source footage to uncompressed AVI. This took up a lot of time and space on my computer and it took forever to convert the video clips back and forth.

For a long time me and some co-workers felt the need to use DIV element instead of the good-old TABLE element, since it is so DAMN easy to achieve the desirable results with TABLE elements. On a second note and for a while now we use our own CMS platform thus the need to create full W3C pages that maintain the defined layout whatever content it holds is a constant requirement. So I have been looking for a nice DIV-based alternative for column-based designs easy to implement.

Recently I had to enhance the way how content is placed in web pages when using our CMS. A list of content modules is presented to be selected by the user but in some scenarios this list can be huge so a searching/filtering on the client functionality was required. The solution presented is based on word count and ranking and content is filtered in a lively manner as the search input box is changed.
