[Gloucs] HTML5 media playback and hi

[Paul Broadhead]

Hello... hello..., anyone there?

Recently, I've noticed an increasing number of websites provide HTML5 
media playback without me having to mess about.  I use Firefox on Linux 
for my desktop/laptop and do not have flash installed, so I normally 
have to pretend to be an Android device to get any video on the BBC for 
example.  This week, things started to work properly.  So I looked 
around and found this BBC blog post.  Looks like we're finally getting 
to a better place for media playback. Hurrah!

Why am I posting to this mailing list? A few years ago, this was where I 
would choose to share such joy.  The list has been quiet for quite a 
while, and we have not met face-to-face for a long time, so I wondered 
if anyone was still interested in this group? What are people doing 
Linux related these days?  My approach has not changed much other than 
having rather more Raspberry Pi devices around the place. I'm doing more 
Javascript & Python and less C/C++ than before and have moved most of my 
Database usage to MongoDB.  I still find no appeal in Perl (sorry if 
Tony is reading).  Anyway, hi to anyone reading...

Regards,
Paul
