I've been working with the Youtube API - http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_php.html - over the weekend, and have discovered that the documentation is not exactly up to date, and some things just dont work.
I may have to resort to the Drupal module - http://drupal.org/project/youtube_api/ - Even though it looks a little neglected, at least I can fix and send patches back to that.
Google's catchup to facebook connect is in action still, with updates/releases to the API made yesterday to allow better integration with other services.
In particular I was interested in using it with Drupal, and found this post: http://code.google.com/p/google-friend-connect-plugins/wiki/DrupalPlugin which was just updated on the 12th, so should be a very good introduction, and there is a drupal module already, which is great.
I'll try it out later and write another blog post.
Lots of the drupalcon sessions are already uploaded to the Internet Archive, if there was a session you missed, check it out here.

Unfortunately, hotel bandwidth sucks, so I'll have to wait until home in Australia.
As Drupalcon was finishing today (apart from the code sprint), I thought i'd grab some quick photos of the central conference area. Theres not many people about in the first ones, but in the later ones you can see it a little busier, but still a way off the peak.
A great time was had by all, and many of them are out celebrating right now.
The roofer turned up yesterday morning, and during the day, completed all but the capping on the roof.
Recently on a mailing list, somone asked about setting up web filtering for children.
While nothing beats supervision, som fairly effective and simple webfiltering can be setup on a linux based pc by combining squid with the jesred redirector.
Basically, create the jesred files as follows in /etc/squid and add the lines from the bottom file into your squid.conf. This plus std tranparent proxying does quite a good job. Yes, I know theres very easy ways around it, but by the time the kids figure that out, you're not going to stop them anymore ;-)
Thought i'd try using Google maps to plan my flight from Sydney to Tokyo, but it uses land based transport, so it doesn't really work.
However, Michael did notice that Kayaking is part of the route proposed ;-)
The framers have finished, and tidied up. Next is the roof, bricks and windows.
The Wolke block fairy visited yesterday when we were at work while the Termimesh guy was here.
Truck with brikie sand woke us up this morning, so shouldn't be long.
Got lots of the walls up in two days, if they keep going like this, it might be done by Friday!
