Workstiff

Working Stiff I’m at home recaping from a bad flu and spending a lot of time reading my (too trascurated due to my daily job) Bloglines feeds and watching movies. The longer the flu the tougher the job for my DVD/DiVX library: I’m not yet so frustrated to switch to (yeeeck!) afternoon TV programs so I looked around for some nice online video to watch and, via Sanbaldo blog, I found “Working Stiff“: a low-budget indipendent movie available for free on the web.

Here’s the synopsis:

Gene is a beleaguered corporate filmmaker who directs training videos for a large corporation. Facing a financial crunch that could cost him his home, he decides to use the company studio at night to produce an ”adult” version of the anti-sexual harassment training video he’s shooting during the day. Comedy, 94 minutes.

If you love comedies and know a little bit of big-corp life this movie is for you!

I also really enjoied the whole Brightcove experience (Brightcove is the platform the movie is distributed on): I followed the Allaire‘s company first betas before joining Gabetti for an IPTV related RnD project for a big Italian company and I’m really amused of how brughtly great the product is now.

Mobup: it’s new release time!

We recently released a new version of Mobup (download it here) which marks the entrance in a new subversion, the 6th in a year or so.

We haven’t added any hypening functionality but concentraed ourselves in listening to our users: bugs fixing, device compatibility and usability related functions that Mobup users suggested by email or on our development site.

The whole 0.5 series will be dedicated to this kind of stuff, but interesting things are coming up for the next major release.

Till then, start mobupping your phone shots now.
