    OpenCV + GStreamer + Camera over IP

    It has been quite some time since I was looking for a simple solution for an installation using OpenCV. My main problem comes from the fact that the camera needs to be in perfect alignment with the projector axis (ideally placed right on the projector itself).

  • My FOSDEM BUG

    Every year, I’m so happy to see that the Fosdem is coming back to town. For those who don’t know what it is, it’s a huge free and open source software developper meeting in Brussels. And the fact that it is so geographically accessible makes it a good reason to attend it. I’m not a…

  • Lookatmekid : Website

    Based on the beautiful graphics from Baokinh, I was in charge of the Html/Css conversion with some Javascript hacks to make it more fun and then make it all run under a Spip engine. Lookatmekid is a collective (Danse + Video + Music + Text) with Marion Schrotzenberger, Ismaël Colombani and Cosima Jentzsch. Their work…

  • wp2spip-0.1

    It’s been quite a while since I’ve been looking for a way to transfer a website from WordPress to Spip, without any luck. There is a small php script deep in the mailing archives of rezo.net. But it was not doing the job the way I wanted. Script works ok, but doesn’t make a difference…
