I found my first browser bug. Unfortunately, the bug surfaces in a browser that is fastly becoming obsolete, IE6 - I say that with great pleasure - and it is also a quasi-bug because the bug only surfaces with the famous iepngfix.htc hack to make PNGs work in IE6. I haven’t investigated the bug yet. I will when time permits, but, in a nutshell, if you are used the aforementioned hack on CSS background images and use the keyword !important, then the hack won’t work. You’ll get a ~20% gray background color instead of a nice clean transparent image.

I don’t do much video stuff, but this post on streaming FLVs via PHP at FlashGuru seems like it could be pretty handy. If you are encoding a video into an FLV, the word on the street is that Sorenson Media’s Squeeze for Flash is the best encoder.
