Chrome on your Samsung tablet should play it fine. There is also
VLC for Android:

I agree the more reach the better but those are some immediate

oh a fun addendum to this, I told a friend of mine (whom I haven't

incredulous that I even swore at all. She said "I can't picture you
swearing... there's a whole other side to you!"



Similar story here: I've never been one to shy away from swearing (not 
that I normally seek it out just for the heck of it or anything - though 
some might might that surprising ), but back in high school it seemed 
like *every* time I'd swear, there was always somebody around who'd get 
a deer-in-the-headlights look on their face and say "Nick! I've never 
heard you swear before!"


My mental-only response was always "Uhh, you must not have heard me talk 
much before..." ;)  Which was probably quite likely, mainly since...




BTW that's one thing about in-person conferences that is kinda
meta-fascinating too, seeing people rather than just email text. Even if
I knew what some of you look and sound like from previous videos or
pictures, it was still a bit of a surprise to meet there. Of course, at
the same time, while I'm fairly talkative and even a little forward on
emails, in person I tend to prefer to just hide in a corner until
someone approaches me, but even then just kinda slinker off and go back
to hiding before long so yeah.


Yea, same here. I can be a regular chatterbox in this NG, but in person 
I've always tended to be very quiet. Used to be *really* shy for a long 
time. Not quite so much now (HS and college developed a rebellious "fuck 
this shit"/"just don't give a rat's ass" ballsy streak in me), but I 
still tend toward the quiet and socially-awkward side whenever I'm not 
around people I already know really well.


I always chalked it up to the whole "nerd" thing: Inverse relationship 
in outgoingness between in-person vs semi-anonymous. (Although I'm 
probably closer to "otaku" nerd than "taped-glasses" nerd, FWIW). That, 
and on-the-fly comms is more difficult than "prep first then send" anyway.

It is gradually becoming the de facto standard for video on web. 
It can already be viewed directly in all modern browsers even 
outside of YouTube. It is usable on platforms where flash is now 
dead (the number of which is increasing). Vast (vast! even on 
Windows) majority of the audience don't use IE.


It doesn't have patent issues.

YouTube is (very slowly) moving to .webm too, after all they were 
the main reason for it.


I for one like videos that are don't all depend on a single 
platform and that I can download without resorting to hacks. And 
that I can view in my browser more seamlessly than what YouTube's 
flash interface can do.



With this kind of thinking we'd still be using $FORMAT where 
$FORMAT is the first format that became the de-facto standard in

There is no plan to add new controls and I don't see any

One can use `paint` event to draw image on button and there is 
`GridPanel` (with usage example `grid.d`) so I don't understand 
why `GridView` is needed and what is its purpose. Also I don't 
know what is `DataView` for.


DGui is really fantastic, it is easy to use and without a big
overhead. What I experienced, developers coming from other
frameworks might miss a horizontal/vertical layout. This would be
much easier than using a grid for this purpose. Also some more
examples could boost the popularity of DGui. Especially, how can
I create create my own controls?

What would be really nice for business developer would be a
specific Stringgrid control (like delphi/lazarus has). Here an
example http://i.stack.imgur.com/FJFiN.gif

Do you accept pull requests if developers provide you new stuff
for DGui?
