    Where can I download Netflix Watch Now Movie Download Service? Anxious to get started. My first time. Any thing I should do? Thought my subscription would give me a tab to click on to do this. Waiting to hear from you. Thank you.

    Hi Robert -

    From my experience, the “Watch Instantly” tab (formerly called “Watch Now”) should appear in your top menu when you log into your account. I believe currently you need to at least have the $8.99 unlimited plan in order to have access to Watch Instantly. The basic service is browser based and currently on Windows requires at least XP SP2 and Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher or Firefox 2 or higher. Haven’t used it on a Mac, but Netflix site says you need to have at least Safari 3 or higher; or Firefox 2 or higher. If you’re using a third party device like Tivo, Roku, PS3 etc… then you need to activate those devices in your Netlix account area.

    Here’s a link to a post I did about my experience with the service when it first launched:

    Good luck.

Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by Wes
Hey thanks so much for the AWESOME post! I found it to be very informative. I am looking to create a SMS gateway app, and this solution seems like it will be what I need for the time being. One question I had though is about using short codes. The approach you have outlined is basically the way that you can do SMS messaging without the use of a short code, right? If I were to want to setup this service where they can opt in via short code, is that a lot more involved? I guess I could just have them put an email address in the to: part of an SMS message...is there a simple way to implement this type of simple service with a short code? Thanks!! - Comment left on 07/28/2010.

Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by Morgan
The company I work for is a non-profit organization that drives intoxicated people home with their vehicles. The service is so far a success but we are having some dispatching issues. I'm looking for a program that can send an SMS message to the drivers once the ticket is submitted and log everything into an SQL database that also keeps track of the customer's variable information. Again, this is a non-profit organization so funds are severely limited. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Morgan - Comment left on 07/02/2010.

Comment on How To Make a 3D Web Video Wall with XML, FLV and CoolIris by dc
To add a custom button to a CoolIris Wall tool bar I added the following line to the swfobject var=flashvars section - customButton: "http://address to your image file,http://url to where you want the button to click to", One note: looks like the custom buttons now display just above the right corner of the toolbar, and no longer on top of it. Good luck. DC - Comment left on 05/27/2010.
