I keep forgetting this, so here it is for all posterity: afconvert -f mp4f -d aac -b 128000 input.wav output.mp3 I’m working on Bingueau-Android, and need to change literally hundreds of little wav files to mp3. And if you want a little command-line Ruby script to do it in batches: # command line test: # [...]
I really want to find this picture of my great-grandfather standing in front of his car, that has a license plate with a big circle cut out of the center. He’s showing off his invention. A way of keeping your car from being stolen. You take the center of the license out with you when [...]
Back on my old post: “Ruby on Rails and Facebook API (Koala): Basic Example” there was a request for either sample code, or more detail. I’ve setup an app in Github: “Sample Koala Rails Test.”. You can get that code by putting the following on your server: git clone git://github.com/banane/sample-koala-rails-app.git Or, just read it online [...]
At first, doing a “Hello World” was quite easy, the hardest part was learning Eclipse (for Mac): – Open Eclipse and don’t worry about opening a project, on the left hand side will be all of your “workspace” projects. – Running (the play button) does an automatic build – Mouseover red squiggly underlines to find [...]
I do really like Android, unsuspectingly so. It was my New Year’s resolution to finally write an app, and I got this assignment at work to create… the quick business card app. Available in the marketplace. 10 installs in 1 day! Already an upgrade! OK so I decided to port one of our iPhone apps- [...]
I ran into this last night- I used the sample from Xcode 4, “tab bar application.” I wanted to solve this problem I was having- I was assigning a UITableViewController to one of my Tab Bar Items, but I got a crash each time, with “retavalue” and “numberOfSections.” No matter how I set it up, [...]
As usual, Penelope Trunk is fanning the flames and creating controversy (Part 1 is here). Her latest is in TechCrunch, Stop Telling Women to Start Start-ups (ironically linked to by a female start-up CEO friend of mine). If you don’t know P. Trunk, she had a blog 10 years ago about job-hunting (based on her [...]
So, uh, there’s this thing going on right now in tech, that kinda sucks. Well, it’s funny, it’s a stereotype that was created and maintained somewhat faithfully by those that fit in it. But in general, there’s an underlying tone of – let’s keep it in the club. Brogramming on Quora Brogramming in a job [...]
Talking to a developer today about getting her toes wet in Ruby and Facebook. I wrote up this simple example of how to set it up. First, Koala is a lightweight, transparent library for Facebook API calls. I’m pretty happy with it- the developer is very responsive and since I know the Facebook API, it’s [...]
I was surprised at how easy it was to implement a “share story” in my iPhone app. I’ve used ShareKit before, and I actually found the Facebook SDK created by FB to be easier! Note- I’m doing something very simple, publishing a share story. (Yes, that’s the new timline view.) 1. First, download it. In [...]
