Ubuntu 10.04 and Bloom Facebook uploader

It seems that Bloom uploader Java webstart fails to authenticate in Ubuntu 10.04 with OpenJDK. To resolve this issue, I have created a file run.sh in the directory in the webstart cache folder (in my case '/home/myusername/.netx/cache/http/www.antaki.ca/bloom/jars'):

run.sh:

java -classpath Bloom_2_8_0.jar:BrowserLauncher2-1_3.jar:commons-codec-1.3.jar:commons-httpclient-3.1.jar:commons-logging-1.1.1.jar:facebook.jar:forms-1.3.0.jar:glazedlists_java15.jar:jhbasic.jar:json_simple.jar:metadata-extractor-2.3.1.jar:swing-worker-1.1.jar:swingx-1.0.jar ca.antaki.www.bloom.app.Bloom


When I start Bloom using run.sh it starts and authenticates just fine.

Note, that this fix was inspired by the following text:


Re: Latitude E6400, Intel Wifi Link 5300 AGN Drops Connections

Hello from my side,
I had similar problems. Configuration: DELL Latitude E5500 with the Intel Wifi Link 5300 AGN card. My solution after 2 months testing:
  • Uninstall DCP (the network part - perhaps not even necessary)
  • Update to the latest Intel driver (12.4.0.21)
  • Download and install the Intel wireless wifi connection utility tool (12.4.0.0)
  • Go to the network settings, Wireless Network-Settings
  • Disable (untick) "QoS-Planer" and "Network Monitor Driver"
Thats it. I left power settings and other stuff untouched ("Standard setting").
Hope this helps you as well.
Best regards
Claus

Java clipboard catcher

I tried to write a program in Java that would be monitoring clipboard for the changes and in case you had specific pattern in the clipboard it would perform a specified action (for example download a youtube clip).

Unfortunately according to a discussion here there is no way to monitor clipboard in java unless you do your own clipboard polling.

Anyway, you can download the source code of my endevours here.

Content Library Flash for Samsung TV (2009 models)

I have just got a new TV and tried to download more content from the Samsung website. Unfortunately due to their bizarre use of JavaScript it I was unable to download them... So I have just extracted the direct links here:

Galeries


Cooking


Children


Wellness


These are links copied from Samsung Medi@ 2.0 web site on 18 December 2009.

These Content Library Flash files are supposed to be compatible with Samsung TV 2009 models (the ones where model contains letter B, for example Samsung LCD 46'' model LA46B650)
