Android at Devoxx in Antwerp
I will be giving two Android talks this year at Devoxx, one during the University Days on Tuesday morning and on during the conference proper on Thursday afternoon. I will also talk about cartoon animations with Chet Haase on Wednesday afternoon. If you’re at Devoxx this week come by and say hi!
Thanks Adobe
Adobe just released Camera Raw 5.4 (and even more importantly for me, Lightroom 2.4) which adds support for Hasselblad’s RAW files. I’ve been wondering for a while when this would happen and I’m glad I won’t have to use FlexColor to export to DNG before being able to see my pictures in Lightroom.
Still Alive
Android is still eating away all of my spare time but I really hope to be able to blog again very soon.
.Mac Now With 10GB
Following today’s event, Apple just published the announcement of an update to .Mac, their web-based storage and sharing solution. Previously limited to 1 GB of data, including email and WebDAV, .Mac now offers 10 GB of storage. I am very excited about this announcement as it will make .Mac even more useful to me. I [...]
Leaving Google, Back to Google
Today was my last as an intern at Google. It was also my last day as an intern ever. I really enjoyed my time at Google and I love the project I was working on. I’m also happy to say that I accepted Google’s job offer and I will come back to California in a [...]
Drowning In Mail
JavaOne is over but I am still very busy so please be patient if you sent me an email about JavaOne demos. I received many requests and I will do my best to reply to each of you as fast as I can. Thanks a lot to all of you who sent me feedback about [...]
Adobe Customer Service
I am trying to purchase a license of Adobe Creative Suite 3, and more specifically Adobe Photoshop 3. Because I am still a student, I am technically entitled to purchase an education license of various Adobe products. As usual, and that’s perfectly normal, there are certain restrictions to this. My problem is the following: I [...]
Little Greens
Every country, every culture has its own peculiarities, which may sometimes seem rather odd, if not utterly insane, to foreigners. As a French young man, there is one thing that I find disturbing about the United States of America and that I had long forgotten until last week. On my way to California, for yet [...]
Look and Feels Galore
There’s been quite a lot happening in the Swing look and feel space recently. While Synthetica continues to improve, we’ve seen the A03 new look and feel pop up, new themes for Substance and I discovered JTattoo. If you know other new look and feels, or know about other cool new features in existing look [...]
Welcome to Curious Creature
Curious Creature is an upgrade of my previous blog, hosted on JRoller. There’s still a lot to be done (to be hype, let’s consider this blog a beta) and you’ll probably see more things coming up during the next few weeks. You can already check out my photos. I will try to set up the [...]
Five little things
After many parties and long meals, I am finally catching up with the rest of the blogosphere and I just discovered that Alexis tagged me. Here are five little known things about me: I can't sleep when my cupboard's door is cracked open ; I once was a Microsoft .NET Most Valuable Student ; I [...]
Back to France
My internship at Sun Microsystems within the Swing team has come to an end. I'm taking the plane back to France tomorrow afternoon. I have spent the most amazing year at Sun working on things that I love with some of the most wonderful people I have ever met. Hopefully I'll be back there very [...]
Gone For Two Weeks
I'll be offline for the next two weeks. My best friend is coming to the US for the first time and we'll just hit the road. I should have really cool pictures when we come back. And after that I'm going back to France for a day. See you soon :)
Rough week end
I wanted to show you something today but it'll have to wait since I had a very rough week end. I spent most of my week end in the Death Valley and in the car (I drove about 1200 miles). Now the rough part is I had a huge car accident. I lost control of [...]
23
I turned 23 today. That means I still have dozens of years to do cool things \o/
My Darkest Secret
It is now time to tell you my darkest secret: I am a Microsoft MVS (Most Valuable Student). Seriously.
Back to work!
Ok, I’m back from the Alps, I finished my article for Login: (a french computing magazine) and I finished my article for the Java Developer’s Journal (stay tuned :-). I should have more time now to enhance previous demos and build new ones. I will also be working with Craig on SwingFX so that you’ll [...]
Wait with style in Swing
You can WebStart the demo or download its source code. Only the AnimatedPanel.java and InfiniteProgressPanel.java files can be used freely without any restriction. Contact me for the other files. UIs can be very annoying, especially when they seem to be doing something but they don't want to tell you what. Worse, some don't even bother [...]
