I finally found a decent rotoscoping program for linux It’s called pencil, and you can find it here http://www.pencil-animation.org/
So how do I rotoscope a movie in pencil?
well.. you can adjust the opacity of the whole interface, so, you just set the opacity to 60% and put a movie behind the pencil window..
I tried a few video players (vlc, gnome-player, totem) but in none of them I could skip a single frame at a time.
I ended up using mplayer (easy to install, with apt or yum)
with mplayer you can play a movie like “mplayer mymovie.mp4″ and then skip single frame using . (that is dot)
good luck!:)

Red5 is a flash communication server.
it enables you to make a socket connection to your server and communicate with a java application there (which in itself already opens tons of possibilities). but also; red5 is very useful for streaming and recording client streams.
so.. altogether; a very interesting platform to play with:) Read the rest of this entry »

At my work we got an order to develop a hyves gadget, I was responsible for the technique behind it.
I decided to use opensocial instead of the hyves api because that should result in a cross platform gadget (opensocial is available on other platforms like facebook, myspace, orkut, etc. etc.) Read the rest of this entry »

in actionscript 3 events can be a real blessing, or a pain in the butt, it can make your code a lot cleaner or pollute your code with a lot of addEventListener’s..
So today I want to show you how I often get around the many addEventListeners, I’m assuming you know how to add eventListeners and how to dispatch them. (in the common way by extending the Event class)
