Kamal Meattle on how to grow fresh air | Video on TED.com

Researcher Kamal Meattle shows how an arrangement of three common houseplants, used in specific spots in a home or office building, can result in measurably cleaner indoor air.

With its air-filtering plants and sustainable architecture, Kamal Meattle's office park in New Delhi is a model of green business. Meattle himself is a longtime activist for cleaning up India's air.

CSS: Elastic Videos

While I was coding the Elemin Theme (a responsive WordPress theme that I recently designed), one of the challenges that I faced was to make the embedded videos elastic. Using the max-width:100% and height:auto trick works with native HTML5 video tag, but it doesn't work with embed code using iframe or object tag. After hours of experimenting and Googling, I finally found a trick on how to achieve this. If you are creating a responsive design, this simple CSS trick will come in handy. View the final demo and resize your browser window to see it in action.

How to find rtmp:// stream URL: Software to sniff, snoop RTMP links - Audio/video stream recording forums

When it comes to downloading flash streams from the internet, Wireshark can be used to sniff out the values you need.

Let’s take this site for example: http://videolectures.net/

Start a Wireshark capture session before clicking on a video on the site to play it. Let WireShark grab all the information exchanged between your PC and the remote flash server and you can stop the capture once the video begins to play, we are only interested in what goes on during the connection handshake. I will use this video as an example: http://videolectures.net/ff06_chomsky_szmp/ [update Jun-2008: looks like they changed this particular video to Windows media instead of Flash, so try other videos or other sites]

In WireShark you can filter for protocol “rtmpt” and the first few entries would be handshake or “invoke” operations. Examining the “Handshake part 3″ we can easily get the value of the required “app” property. Below we can see it is “video/2006/other/ff06/chomsky_noam”:
