Installing Red5…
Jun 23rd
Recently working on a videochat application I wanted to use my own VPS server for some real world testing.
Version 0.9 RC2 is the current available for Red5… and after fiddling trying to get things going, I found this cool tutorial which worked like a charm.
Credits of course to the original poster: http://www.videochat-scripts.com/install-red5-0-9-on-linux-ubuntu/
My VPS is currently running on Ubuntu “Lucid” 10.04.
First installed required packages one by one: apt-get install subversion apt-get install java-package apt-get install sun-java6-jdk apt-get install ant
Used arrows to browse to the Ok and confirm on jdk installation dialogs.
Verified installed java version: java -version
Downloaded latest Red5: mkdir -p ~/svn/red5 cd More >

Mac Vs PC… extract .dfont to .ttf
Nov 24th
How many… oh how many times you crash into the same subject again and again, you are given Mac fonts but hey… dont work in Windows :s … and most importantly… no Embedding in Flash as its only either TrueType or OpenType.
Well atleast now a blog post came as a nice surprise to me… a little opensource terminal app called “fondu”
just install via MacPorts or apt-get and go…
” fondu myFont.dfont ”
and the app will extract all your TrueType goodness into the same folder neat!
many thanks to…

More >git hooks – post-update
Nov 20th
For a while now I have been using Mercurial for my own personal version control system, been very happy and never really got dissapointed so far, hg-serve works really easy for serving your repository publicaly with its own menus and stuff… not visually engaging but does the job well.
Ive been trying and little by little I guess moving the git way… mostly to be honest because the world around me seems to use it, and because I really cant be bothered to try and master to version control systems at once, so Mercurial seems great and maybe even better… but More >
