No Sound Issue in Firefox Flash [Fixed]

I love Ubuntu but one thing was really pissing me off on my desktop computer: the very annoying No sound in Firefox Flash issue which I'm facing since I upgraded from Feitsy to Gutsy.


But tonight, because I felt frustrated again because of this issue, I googled it one more time, hoping to find something new. A few minutes later, I found a link to a How To Fix The No Sound Issue in Firefox Flash post in the ubuntu forums and decided of course to give it a try.


The post suggests to update the libflashsupport library with a patched version from Paul Betts who is a software engineer at... Microsoft working on hotfixes and updates for Windows :) Anyway, I just installed Paul's version and guess what: sound is now working again in Firefox Flash! Thank you both guys, this is so sweet!

Blogger JavaScript Library Release and Blog.gears Offline

A new Blogger JavaScript Client Library has been released by Google a few days ago. I'm just quoting the announcement below:

The Blogger GData JS Client library enables developers to read and write blog posts using calls to our JavaScript library. This is a full client library, with support for authenticated access to private data and read-write capabilities. Now you can create Blogger applications and mashups that can read and write data from your Blogger blogs. No server-side programming is required. Your application can run on any domain, too. No proxying is required.

Sounds nice. Some samples are available here. One of them is blog.press, a sample Blogger app that allows you to create, edit and delete blog posts while online, using only client-side code and the JavaScript client library. Another more elaborated sample, blog.gears, adds offline capabilities to the Blogger app by combining the Gdata JavaScript Client Library with Google Gears. Even more nice.

I'm writing this post using blog.gears and I'm currently offline. Let's save it now and see how blog.gears handles this... - Saving post and putting network back - Ok, I'm online again. I've just reopened this post, everything looks in place. Good. I'm going ahead.

This was a really quick and simple test but still very interesting. Think about Google Docs. We know Google will continue to roll out the JavaScript client libraries to other services as soon as they can. We know offline mode is a requirement for Google Docs for real world usage (and competition with Microsoft). So, how far from this feature do you think Google is now ? Import/export would require Gears to support a more high level language than JavaScript so I'm not expecting it soon but what about a "basic" offline mode ?

Enough for now, let's post this.

Firefox plugins I use

I'm a Firefox user and there are a few plugins I can't live without. As I'm using Firefox on several computers, under several OS, and because I'm in the #@$% process of reinstalling my system on my laptop (new HD), I'm listing them here as reminder:
  • Adblock Plus - Right-click on a banner and choose "Adblock" from the context menu - the banner won't be downloaded again.
  • All-in-One Gestures - This extension allows you to execute common commands using mouse gestures, rocker navigation, scroll wheel navigation and page scrolling. I'm totally infected, using gestures even outside Firefox now.
  • ChatZilla - A clean, easy to use and highly extensible Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client.
  • CustomizeGoogle - Enhance Google search results and remove ads and spam.
  • del.icio.us Bookmarks - Integrate del.icio.us into Firefox with the del.icio.us extension.
  • Download Statusbar - View and manage downloads from a tidy statusbar.
  • Firebug - Edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page.
  • FireFTP - Turn your browser into an FTP Client.
  • Google Browser Sync - Synchronize settings between browsers.
  • Greasemonkey - Greasemonkey is a Firefox extension which lets you to add bits of DHTML ("user scripts") to any web page to change its behavior. I'm using the following scripts:
    • del.icio.us Prettifier - Changes font family and link colors on del.icio.us. This is a modified version of Gina Trapani's del.icio.us Prettifier.
    • Gmail Conversation Preview - Right-click on any conversation to get a preview bubble.
    • Gmail Label Colors - Optionally colors label names (when they have a #color suffix)
    • Gmail Macros - Extra (customizable) keyboard shortcuts and macros. Press 'h' to see a list of all the available shortcut keys.
    • HTTP-to-HTTPS redirector - Replace http:// with https:// in the address bar, to make sure you're using the SSL-encrypted version of a page. Only enable for pages that you know are SSL enabled.
    • Password Composer - Generates site specific password, based on a single Master Password.
  • gTranslate - Translates the selected text via Google Translate
  • IE View - Lets you load pages in IE with a single right-click, or mark certain sites to always load in IE. I may replace this plugin by IE Tab but I'm a bit scared of memory leaks (see Problematic extensions).
  • Live HTTP Headers - This extension allows the user to see HTTP headers exchanged during an HTTP request. It can be helpful to debug web applications, see what kind of web server the remote site is using, see the cookies sent by the remote site, see the content sent by the browser during a POST request, etc.
  • SeleniumIDE - Selenium IDE is an integrated development environment for Selenium tests. It is implemented as a Firefox extension, and allows you to record, edit, and debug tests.
  • SwitchProxy Tool - SwitchProxy lets you manage and switch between multiple proxy configurations quickly and easily.
  • User Agent Switcher - Adds a menu and a toolbar button to switch the user agent of the browser.
  • Video Downloader - Download videos from Youtube, Google, Metacafe, iFilm, Dailymotion and 60+ video sites! I like to take the power back.
  • Web Developer - Adds a menu and a toolbar with various web developer tools. I'm not using this one very often but like to have it installed anyway.

Publishing code snippets to blogger

I'm using blogger for some month now but was still looking for an easy way to post code snippets. Of course, I'm not the only one looking for such a feature. It's somehow amazing that blogger doesn't offer better support for this.

But tonight, I discovered Alex Gorbatchev's SyntaxHighligher which seems to be what I was looking for. I googled a bit more and found this HOWTO: post code (thanks gPowered.net). A few minutes later, the SyntaxHighlighter library was uploaded and my blogger template updated to enable it.

Let's try it now with a classical HelloWorld sample : 
 
 /**
  * The HelloWorld class is an application that
  * displays "Hello World!" to the standard output.
  */
  public class HelloWorld {

     // Display "Hello World!"
     public static void main(String args[]) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
     }
  }
So, how does it looks like ?

Oh, by the way, Thomas Walloschke created a neat extension for Apache configuration files. Nice. I might use his "brush" too.

Howto setup Apache 2.2.4 + WebDAV under Windows XP in 5 minutes

I like to use WebDAV for maven deployments : it's simple, go through most firewalls, can be secured... it's really a nice protocol. For testing purposes (and because WebDAV is currenlty broken in Proximity), I'm running Apache 2 + WebDAV under Ubuntu on my laptop and honestly, it was a piece of cake to get it working. But today, because one of my customer who is using a Win 2K server was facing really strange issues with his setup, I decided to install Apache 2 + WebDAV under Windows XP. My goal is to configure a DAV access to a remote directory with universal read-access but restricted writes. Here are the steps :
