Tonight, I have finished making Platinum DLNA compliant with the DMC profile. A DMC (Digital Media Controller) browses a DMS (Digital Media Server) or MSD (Media Server Device) and control the playback of DMP (Digital Media Player) or MRD (Media Renderer Device).
In the process, I have fixed many bugs, crashes, deadlocks and will publish version 0.5.2 anytime now.
Today I have spent some time testing Platinum with DLNA tools. I am focusing on the Control Point right now. Looks like I have 2 errors and 1 warning left out of around 120 tests. Not bad!
Screenjelly is a web service that lets you record whatever is happening on your screen including audio for 3 minutes without any downloads or plugins to install. Once finished, you get a link you can send via email, IM or even Twitter.
You can either go to http://screenjelly.com to start your recording or you can now embed a Screenjelly button on your site and let your readers start directly from your site. I have added one to my sidebar. Screenjelly also provides an API to let your site capture the recordings once submitted by your viewers. More info here.
Oh and there’s a bookmarklet too now so wherever you are roaming on the web, you can now start a recording right there without having to go to Screenjelly.com anymore. Kinda cool.
Oh and you can embed the video too by the way. Here’s a video that was recorded today by someone using ScreenSplitr and DemoGod. Cool!
Check out my screen recording on Screenjelly that explains how to install Tweetboard on your WordPress custom installation:

Following the instructions @ ModMyIPhone, I successfully ordered my new iPhone 3G S without a AT&T commitment. Of course, we’ll have to wait for the awesome iPhone dev team to publish an unlock mechanism but I am pretty sure it will be WAY before 2 years (which is AT&T contract commitment).
Check it out!
Update:
I haven’t received an email confirmation from Apple. This is not a good sign ;-(
Update 2:
Looks like I just received an email from Apple Store and the iPhone is set to be delivered by June 19th!
After hours of pot calibration, rubber band trick, opening and closing, firmware upgrades, I am able to play it!
