More TLD's for Ordorica and iPhone/iPod Touch Support
I just purchased some more TLD's (Top Level Domains) for Ordorica.org. My ultimate goal is to purchase the most popular Ordorica TLD namespace so that I have control over my last name. Without futher ado:
ordorica.org - this website
ordorica.tv - future tv streaming domain (right now I use the subdomain streaming.ordorica.org)
ordorica.fm - future internet radio domain (right now I use mp3.ordorica.org and ogg.ordorica.org)
ordorica.biz - redirect to ordorica.org
ordorica.us - redirect to ordorica.org
ordorica.mobi - future mobile version of Ordorica.org
I used to own ordorica.info, but let it go since that TLD isn't really in demand. Unfortunately now a cyber squatter owns that domain. I am also currently trying to purchase Ordorica.com, which is also being held by a cyber-squatting company. I am trying to negotiate a price for it however. Ordorica.net is currently owned by another Ordorica, but its just being used as a Honda S2000 tribute site. I will negotiate for it another time depending on how acquiring Ordorica.com goes.
Look to this website for more updates. I've been silently updating content on my site, but I need to start posting more often. I also plan to implement comments ASAP, hopefully based on Ajax. User logins are also greatly needed.
The one area were I have made progress is encoding videos for iPhone/iPod Touch support. I recently bought an iPod Touch for Christmas, and the only thing it lacks is Adobe Flash support. So I will be updating my website with mp4 encoded videos at 384Kb/s and 768Kb/s optimized for the iPod's resolution. Actually, I'm quite surprised how good 384Kb/s video looks, much better than anything YouTube has to offer, but not as good as my native resolution Flash videos. I might even encode them for the "3G" phone network speeds since 384 is just too much. (but does anybody actually use up all that bandwidth with 3G?). EDIT: just checked iPhone network plans and they seem to include unlimited bandwidth, so I will encode the videos for that target.
Ok, it's late and I have to begin the encoding for 3G. Night.
