RIP Google Wave!
Aug 4th
So many good ideas and so few users… That’s what Google thought about their project. They announced in this post its end.
Hope that we will soon see the features we had in Wave inside Gmail and Google Docs.
[qx11grab] Yet an other screencasting tool using ffmpeg
Aug 1st
Hey,
So as I promised I restarted working on the ffmpeg recording tool, but while working on it I found qx11grab a really nice tool that does the same thing I wanted to do. As it’s well advanced I stop gffrecord and will do some patches on qx11grab (I hope the original author will update his tool after the takes a look at the patches)
- x86_64 compatibility : http://isparse.net/fix_x86_64.patch
- Some audio recording tweaks : http://isparse.net/knuthy_changes.patch
To get it installed and working here are the steps (or watch the video at the end of the post):
1 – Official build
The original way to do stuffs is as follow
wget http://gitweb.hjcms.de/cgi-bin/index.cgi/qx11grab/snapshot/qx11grab-0.2.1.rc6.tar.gz tar xvf qx11grab-0.2.1.rc6.tar.gz cd qx11grab-0.2.1.rc6 ./cmake.sh cd build make sudo make install
2 – Adding my patches
wget http://gitweb.hjcms.de/cgi-bin/index.cgi/qx11grab/snapshot/qx11grab-0.2.1.rc6.tar.gz tar xvf qx11grab-0.2.1.rc6.tar.gz cd qx11grab-0.2.1.rc6 wget http://isparse.net/fix_x86_64.patch wget http://isparse.net/knuthy_changes.patch patch < fix_x86_64.patch patch -p3 < knuthy_changes.patch ./cmake.sh cd build make sudo make install
Easy & simple 
So now for the video explaining everything :
Vacation!!!
Jul 28th
Hey,
Today is a the last day of work till September. It means time for some coding and tutorials. By God’s will, it should start tonight ^_^
\o/
On purpose?
Jul 22nd
So I’ve started reading a book (Introduction to Numerical Analysis) today, and at the 3rd page I’ve got a nice surprise that made me smile:
What’s up?
Jul 16th
May peace be upon you all!
It has been a long while since I didn’t write any post, but here I am back. So, what’s new?
Personal stuffs:
- This blog is officially my (Mohamed ZENADI) blog. So no more identity hiding :)
- I’m actually “almost” a PhD student (yeah, almost ’cause I sign the contract in September ^_^) in Computer Sciences and Applied Mathematics. Why both? Well, cause my work will be in both fields, but mostly the second one.
Other stuffs:
- Working with my brother D.B. on a project we always wanted to get it up and running, and it’s time to do that So I’ll use my vacation time to get it up and running.
- gffrecord is in a slight sleep phase for the moment, I guess I should work on it this weekend as I have some time.
I’ll be writing some posts, by God’s will, in French on my brothers’s D.B. blog http://iserialize.net .
Have a nice weekend, and vacation for most of you!
PS: I indeed, change themes a lot ^_^
