My Quick Hack: Readable YouTube URLs
4 comments
I get the following: "OperationalError at /paul-graham". Which has to be a bug; pg doesn't have operational errors.
There is a Chuck Norris joke in there somewhere.
You caught me while I was monkeying with caching.
I think what would be infinitely more useful is some kind of jQuery plugin that would create a tooltip with the clip title in it for every youtube link. I put http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJYxCSXjhLI on a webpage and the tooltip displays "Rejected Cartoons by: Don Hertzfeldt" You could make it into a firefox extension or jetpack extension.
That doesn't work in other applications, like desktop instant messengers.
Cool, but this is like 4 lines of pseudo-code. Do you really need to post it on Hacker News?
will the video change if the search results change?
IMO it should, but right now I use a SQLite database as a permanent cache, so the video will never change. As soon as I get the urge to slack off some more, I'll just plug in Django's memcached support and set the expiration to a day or two.
I'm kind of shocked that you are using SQLite to power this site. I suppose it'd be easy to move to something better, but still...
Are you shocked that it works or shocked that I would be so stupid as to use SQLite? I expect extremely low load and that I'll have plenty of time to move to memcached and no database...
EDIT: it's on memcached now.
