How should one light a Solstice bonfire? This year, I did it with thermite (video has a naughty word 'cos I was startled). That's about 150 grammes of stoichiometric thermite made with ordinary, off-the-shelf stuff and lit with a sparkler. The molten iron, at around 2000c, spattered and burned so we didn't retrieve it, but this proof-of-concept firing means I can go ahead with the thermite lost-wax casting I've got in the project file. Yes, I'm going to be doing mjolnirs. :)
After yesterday's musing over user-generated movie content, a thought has struck me. It might be a turkey, it might not, but I can't help wondering if user movies would be more manageable, more accessible and more controllable if they were hosted in a streaming context - an intranet Youtube. By having a place for legit movies we might even be able to social-engineer the idea that your wedding and that damn puppy aren't meant to be at work.
Has anyone implemented a streaming movie setup at work? What did you use, how hard was it to do and how brutally did it hammer your resources (or budget!)
