From time to time, I use animoto to generate short videos. I like to use my iTunes music as sound track but always face conversion problems. iTunes stores the songs in an m4a format while animoto uses mp3 only.After a while, I figure out a simple way to convert files from a format to an other. For this I used faad (an open source MPEG-4 and MPEG-2 AAC decoder) and lame the well known mp3

Vous ne connaissez sûrement pas Pop, alors laissez moi vous le présenter rapidement. Pop est la marionnette dont j'ai entendu parle toute l'année mais que, finalement, j'ai vu assez peu. Je suppose que tous les maris d'instit connaisse cette situation :) Je peux affirmer sans trop me tromper que Pop était (ou est peut-être encore qui sais) un support pédagogique, une espèce d'entremetteur entre

Did you ever try to copy localy a YouTube video that seemed interesting to you ? It happened to me few days ago. On my Mac, I solved the problem by looking in the /var/folders directory where temp copies are hold.In order to locate more precisely I had to do the following:touch /tmp/nowfind /var/folders -newer /tmp/now -printwhile the video is still loading.Then it is just a matter of converting

I don't know much about Glen and Peter. I am just a fan of Gravl and a reader of Glen's blog but I am sure that their book "Grails in Action" will be a blockbuster in the community.So feel free to buy the book, the TOC is quite appealing and I am sure that we will get plenty of practical examples.

In a project I need a kind of CMS in order to store/retrieve large files. Basically my choices were narrowed down to Alfresco and Grails.Alfresco was seen as the "low entry cost" solution, Grails requiring more work but being more flexible.Obviously my main requirement was to be able to upload large files (>10 GB). Obviously this can not be done using the browser and a specific (but simple)

Looks like Twitter will be under the spotlight at JavaOne this year. Posts on this topic are popping everywhere. I already talked about the "Script Bowl" session but if you are attending JavaOne you should probably have a look to this post.But back to Groovy, I propose to write a simple class to interface to Twitter and then build mashup. But first, let's draft some specs. All communication with

I got recently a post on the difficulty of retrieving complex elements by some webservices, I will try to clarify some issues on this in this post using the Microsoft Terra webservice.The TerraService is an WebService API which allows you to query the Microsoft TerraServer database of high resolution aerial imagery.

It has been a long time since I talked about GroovyWS ... Groovy has been out for a week now and I have been working a bit on GroovyWS as well so I decided to push a new version. The changes brought by this new version are minor in term of workload but they should (hopefully) made GroovyWS more usuable in a production environment.The first change deals with https support.

You probably now that CXF has taken over XFire. Thanks to the work done by Dan & Al, the move has been pretty fast and we now have the best from XFire & Celtix.I thought it was time to move also from GroovySOAP (relying on

Hier, soir nous avons passé la soirée à Sentosa accompagné de Jean-Yves et David. On peut accèder à cette île (destinée uniquement aux loisirs) par différents moyens. Cette fois-ci, David avait choisi les oeufs (oui vous avez bien lu) afin de nous faire profiter de la vue sur la ville. Au programme: "Songs of the Sea" un spectacle réellement féérique fait de feux (follets) et de jeux de

Première semaine à Singapour ! Après avoir tenté d'évaluer les différents moyens pour aller de notre nouveau domicile au boulot (1h15 ;-) ), le premier week-end nous a permis de souffler un peu. Samedi, ce fut direction le centre ville afin de rendre visite au Merlion (emblème de Singapour) situé en bord de mer, puis de faire du shopping chez Carrefour: nostalgie oblige. Dimanche, direction le

Google provides a wide variety of API for embedding their applications into your web pages. They are very convenient if your are developing web applications but I find it very painful to embed them into any Java application. Hopefully as far as GMaps is considered, the swingx-ws project is providing a JXMapViewer class in which you can configure a tile provider for using the Google map servers.

Now that Groovy-1.1-BETA-1 and Grails-0.5 are out, it's time to focus on JavaOne. There will be an important presence for both projects since at least 8 sessions are mentioning Groovy. Apart from these sessions, two other events are worth to attend:# On May 7, if you are in SF and are interested by dynamic languages - don't miss the RedMonk unconference track during the CommunityOne event,# On

It has been a long time since my last post. But important things are happening for enterprise scripting. Yes, Groovy-1.1-beta-1 was released yesterday. This release has new features that could speed up its adoption at the enterprise level. In this post, let's focus on annotations that is something brought by Java 5. Nowadays, annotations are everywhere from Spring Framework, Hibernate, TestNG to

Le facteur apporte une lettre à une dame; il dit : "Vous avez trois filles, quel age ont-elles respectivement ?" La dame répond en souriant:"Le produit de leur age est 36, et leur somme est égale au numéro de la porte d'en face."
