XulTitles! 1st milestone

XulTitles! has reached a time where its necessary to focus on P1 issues.

Until now I have working on coding funny things, I left them, I took others, and it was a bit messy because when I do the commits to my repository my question was: “What are the changes for this commit?” and finally I get nice and very reading commit-messages like:

Sigh. I really need to focus on different things but each one at its time!

So, the UI is there (no styles yet):

(Hi Paul, please, smile!!)

(it is highly possible that I will remove that textbox and progressbar under the play-pause buttons because it’s redundant with the video controls)

Anyway, there were not so much progress on UI (just added menubars, buttons and reworked some XUL code, but the main progress was done (obviously) on the backend. The SRT parser is now written by me! :D (I was using Paul’s one), I have refactored code that is used for GUI and file manager things, as well as the SRT parser and helper, and I have created the necessary stuff to made the application localizable (but it’s not yet possible).

This work has shown me how powerful is Mozilla code, XULRunner, Gecko and standards. With no more of 1000 lines of code actually I’m able to: open a file on my computer, show it in a window with buttons to control it, search for subtitles on the same path as the video, parse those subtitles and then show them in a list, and have the ability to change between different languages, and have code to save and diff subs. Just with XUL and Javascript! (HTML is used just in one line, and CSS… CSS… i’m not a designer! :D ).

So the trunk is frozen :P And the tag “Milestone1” was created. Now… hack on serious issues!

And finally, I want to thank Vivien because he reviewed my code some time ago and caught some problems and show me better ways to resolve the problems I’m finding, thanks!

EU Moz Camp 2008. Barcelona

After our long trip to Whistler, Canada for the Mozilla Summit 2008, we have now a small trip, only 3h in our awesome high speed train to Barcelona.

This weekend (25th and 26th of October), we are going to a new conference (EU Mozilla Camp 2008) where (please, don’t go :P ) I have a conference about using Firefox, with Nukeador, dukebody (members of Mozilla Hispano) and Alina Mierlus, member of the Mozilla Rumania community. We are talking about Thunderbird, Songbird and another XUL Dark Matter (programs built on the top of Mozilla Source Code).

So, see you tomorrow!

Yes is the answer

Yes, I survived the Summit 2008.

Very nice work by IntotheFuzz. Awesome Summit!

How to localize Fennec

On the Summit 2008, csejersen and mic presented a conference about l10n Fennec (the new Firefox for mobile).

So, this is an interesting blog post about that.

Also, congrats to gandalf (from MoCo, and Aviary.pl member), you are a new l10n-driver! ;)

Nice Summit summary

aaronlev has written a long and full of content article about this last Summit.

Must read.

Nukeador, John Lilly and me

Nice!

Thanks Mozilla!!

I was at the Mozilla Summit 2008, in Whistler, BC, Canadá.

And it was amazing. I met people that I only knew as a nickname, and it is very funny that *a lot* of people related to Mozilla (Mozilla employees) speak spanish, or at least, try to.

So, thank you Mozilla for this Summit, despite rock slides, power outages, bears and snow the 31 of July, it was so perfect.

Thanks to Dan Portillo, who worked very hard on the Summit for above problems.

Oh, i forget, the nice 8h trip from Whistler to Vancouver via Lillooet was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I’ve never seen a landscape like that!!

It could be a risky thing, but… please, more Summits on Whistler ;)

I’m going to stay the whole month in Vancouver, so I think i will post more about that. And I dunno if i will have WiFi on the hotel nor the students center, so maybe i will answer emails a little bit later…
