Bluish CoderProgramming Languages, Martial Arts and Computers. The Weblog of Chris Double.SVG Animation Update- April 19, 2008 I've made a couple of quick fixes to the SVG Animation patch I mentioned earlier. The fixes are:Implements the <set elementGets the 'discrete' calcMode workingGets setCurrentTime workingThis should allow more SMIL Animation examples to work. These changes also happen to make the SMIL parts of Acid 3 work. Well, sort of. Tests 75 works, but test 76 fails intermittently. If I do a full refresh of the Acid 3 page it works. I've no doubt got something wrong in the setCurrentTime implementation...http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2008/04/svg-animation-update.html Firefox SVG Animation Patch- April 19, 2008 I wanted to try out an SVG Animation example that someone sent me but Firefox currently doesn't have support for this. Bug 216462 contains a patch with a work in progress implementation of SVG Animation so I looked into trying it out.Unfortunately it has suffered some bitrot recently so I made the changes to get it to apply on the current CVS. There were some problems causing crashes which I fixed up and I've updated the bug with the adjusted patch.Jeff Schiller commented previously in the bug..http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2008/04/firefox-svg-animation-patch.html Seaside with XUL- April 14, 2008 Pavel Krivanek posted to the Seaside mailing list about generating XUL from Seaside. XUL is the user interface markup language that Firefox and applications based on XULRunner use for the user interface. Seaside is a continuation based web framework written in Smalltalk.Using this combination they get native look and feel for the platform for Smalltalk applications.Categories: smalltalk, seaside, firefoxhttp://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2008/04/seaside-with-xul.html Collection of Factor Articles in PDF- April 3, 2008 Factor has experienced some rapid change in the libraries and language over the past few years. I've written a few blog posts about Factor in the past and many of them suffer from bitrot due to this, making it hard to try out the examples in the latest Factor versions.I've collected some of these articles, put them in a PDF document, and am slowly working through them so they are up to date with recent Factor versions. The document is split into sections for the articles that should work, and...http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2008/04/collection-of-factor-articles-in-pdf.html HTML5 Video on the N810- April 3, 2008 The Nokia Internet Tablet's use GStreamer for the multimedia functionality. Chris Blizzard built Mozilla on the Nokia N810 with the GStreamer video backend patch applied. He has a video on his weblog showing the N810 playing video inside Mozilla. Nice!If you have a <video enabled browser you'll see the video here too.Categories: firefox, gstreamer, n800http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2008/04/html5-video-on-n810.html Factor Parsing DSL- April 3, 2008 I've been doing some experimenting with the emedded grammar code I wrote for Factor, trying to make it easier to use and a bit more useful for real world projects.My inspiration for the changes has been seeing the kinds of things OMeta can do and the examples in the Steps towards the reinvention of programming from the Viewpoints Research Institute.The original parsing expression grammar code (in the vocab 'peg') produced a data structure composed of Factor tuples that was interpreted at...http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2008/04/factor-parsing-dsl.html Firefox HTML5 Video with GStreamer- April 3, 2008 I wrote earlier about refactoring the HTML5 video patch to allow different backends. I've now added a patch for GStreamer support to bug 422540. To build a Firefox with this support, get the latest trunk CVS source. Apply the patch from bug 382267, followed by the patch from bug 422540. Build with the --enable-gstreamer configure option. Or follow these steps to build from the git repository.I've made a prebuilt binary for Linux which you can download from...http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2008/04/firefox-html5-video-with-gstreamer.html |
