Next month I'll be speaking at TheServerSide.com Java Symposium. The topics I will cover are: I've done both sessions before and they're pretty solid now. The 'Boldly go...' one has been a huge success at JavaOne as it was booked completely full and I did a repeat session on Friday that still had quite good attendance. See you in Prague!

I picked music back up after a loooong hiatus of 7 years. I decided to evolve together with the world and to broadcast myself Did the first one last night. The song is "All The Kings Horses" from Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation. When I heard it playing last afternoon from my iTunes collection, I couldn't help picking up my guitar to figure out the chords and such. This recording is the result of a couple of hours searching and rehearsing. I'm considering adding it to a concert repertoire I'm preparing, as one of the few cover songs. Anyways, my YouTube channel is located at http://www.youtube.com/gbevin and I'll be posting new entries as I learn and compose songs. Hope you enjoy it, and if you don't, still be nice |

I've been recording all my screen casts with SnapzPro and then re-recording them with Camtasia Studio on Windows to be able to edit them. This is to say the least, extremely tedious. Yesterday I stumbled into ScreenFlow, an all-in one screen recording and video editing application with very cool features like call outs, video actions, key press display, etc. You can even capture audio from multiple sources and record your iSight at the same time as doing your screen cast. Afterwards you can combine them by manipulating the individual tracks and for example get a cool narrator call out that sits in a corner of the screen cast. I also like their approach towards the recording operation itself. You don't have to constraint yourself by deciding which area of the screen has to be recorded beforehand. With ScreenFlow you just record everything and crop it in the editor afterwards. They are using a custom algorithm that only records changes that appeared on the screen, so even my 2560x1600 resolution was recorded together with audio and the iSight video, without any sign of a hick-up. I love it! It might be a tad on the expensive side ($99), but considering the functionality that you get, I don't think it's exaggerated. |

The yearly open-source Fosdem conference takes place again in Brussels on February the 23rd and the 24th.
I'm giving a 15 minute lightning talk about Terracotta on Saturday the 23rd at 15h40. Given the available time, I will not be able to say much and will just try to wet everybody's appetite. I'll stick around for a while afterwards to answer question and give demos and such. You can find the details here: http://fosdem.org/2008/schedule/events/456 Looking forward to the conference and catching up with everyone in real life  |

I received a final copy through DHL yesterday. Norman Klein and Max Carlson really did a great job explaining the technology behind this vast RIA framework, and it has been a pleasure to review several chapters of the earlier drafts. I'm sure this book will make it much easier for people to develop with OpenLaszlo as it clarifies some of the lesser known intricacies. |
