Re-enabled Comments, Thanks to Disqus

leave a comment »

Thanks to Disqus, a new start-up focused on hosting web discussions, I’ve decided to re-enable comments on the blog. Integrating their system with WordPress was a one-minute exercise; hopefully they keep the spam away.

Unfortunately, their system will only work on stories that presently don’t have any comments, so existing threads will remain closed.

I think it’s a great idea to have a service specialize in making a great discussion engine, rather than force me to constantly deal with the spam wars, find new plug-ins with new discussion features, and so forth. Here’s hoping the Disqus integration works out!

Official AVCHD Support in iMovie?

with one comment

AVCHD in iMovie

Steve Jobs talking about the new iMovie in iLife ’08, as quoted by Engadget:

Takes video from any source. HDV, still cameras that do video, brand new AVCHD camcorders.

Just ordered it today. Here’s hoping it works with my Sony HDR-UX1. Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t let you download the new bits, I have to wait for FedEx to fly them to me. Weird.

I’ll update the blog with the results.
