  • Second Life .prims project

    John of the libsl team has been working with the .prims XML 3d primitive format recently. I’ve been looking for a good, common XML format to serialize 3d data for a while. This looks like it might be what I’m looking for. On my libsl TODO list is a project to create a hardened specification…

  • Monocast 1.0

    So, Rev_Fry and I got together last night and did a couple of takes for the first Monocast. Rev and I will be attending the upcoming Mono Summit in MA on the 23rd and 24th. We figured that we should do a first show before we showed up so we can claim some listeners. The…

  • Open Source/Free Software Video Editing Software?

    Can someone help me out here? I’d like to import video from my camera (firewire) as either DV or run through my favorite codec, and write it to disk. I would then like to be able to crop, cut, and paste certain frames from the whole movie and store them as “clips” or some similar…

  • Tao 2.0 in the wild

    Congrats to David, Vlad, Randy and the rest of the Tao folks! David has recently contributed a number of patches that provide an autotools build environment for Tao. Not only that, but it now builds on mingw (or so rumor has it). This greatly increases the Tao library’s accessibility, and I predict that it will…

  • I’m at OSCON

    I’m making videos. https://colliertech.com/oscon2006/ I need to learn how to compress some of these iMovies snippets into something consumable by the general public via “podcasting” software. Who knows what formats *everybody* can watch / listen to on *all* platforms? What does VLC support? I’ll target VLC as the media player and I plan to set…
