Make your FFmpeg talk back

2013-04-20T21:22:00.001+07:00

Yeah tonight I just realize ffplay can talk lol! ffplay can talk when it have flite capability (see my FFmpeg aoTuV build). It's quite old fashioned and amusing, in ffmpeg it can serve as either for auto narration or as text to speech synth. Via ffplay just do this: ffplay -f lavfi flite=text='Whats up Doc?' Might can be used with zenity as text reader or reminder or whatever fun

SHC 3.8.9 MSYS port

2013-04-20T21:09:00.000+07:00

To continue previous post, I actually port shc-3.8.9 quite long time ago for fun. But now I want to see if it can act as a wrapper for shellscript (bash/perl) under plain cmd box. And boom it failed :-)) SHC is actually an encryptor not compiler, with time trial feature (not tested). I don't quite remember anymore how I patched this little tool. But as usual MSYS is lacking this and that so it

A Simple BAT to EXE Wrapper

2013-04-20T20:41:00.000+07:00

I'm looking for a straightforward way to execute bat file inside bash and vice versa (execute shellscript in cmd box). At first I thinking about an encrypter that store content of batch file as string that later feed into shell invocation. But that's appear to be daunting to me right now :-D I look around sourceforge and codeplex for existing solution, as expected there are several project based

To collaborate Tuma MinGW

2013-04-07T09:28:00.001+07:00

I'm reflecting on Tuma MinGW future at the moment. I could push another point release for sure, but unlikely reach 1.0 milestone. Few weeks ago a developer offer me a help to turn Tuma MinGW into something like Gentoo, a self construct distro with fully automated updating/rebuild concept which I half heartedly had to reject as it will goes "by developer for developer" way. But the main reason is

Another dropbox failed

2013-04-07T06:01:00.000+07:00

Ah I'm not learning from past experience to stop using dropbox for crucial files in this blog, look now, many images are goner. >,< Yeah I finally lose another dropbox account few days ago. I really wish Google stop their menacing "chrome 'em all" campaign, first blogger's image uploader always fail under Opera browser (otherwise I'd not use dropbox), then translate.google.com behave infinite

Stardict console native version

Console version of StarDict http://sdcv.sourceforge.net/ The application itself is quite old but still usable (suitable for non-unicode and non-html dicts). Here is single executable native version sdcv.exe example: Enter word or phrase: tuma Found 3 items, similar to tuma. -->The CMU Pronouncing Dictionary -->tuma 'tu:m\u0259 -->Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia, Edisi III (2005) -->tuma tu.ma

Still playing AOM and never get bored

2013-03-31T21:25:00.004+07:00

This long weekend I got a visit from my only sister and we going out a lot. After that I want to post about new chm books that I made from mirroring Mozilla's MDN and cppreference.com as well as some others but my mood went off after yet another bitter experience with stackoverflow, this time I try to answer (or to help) but a web whizkid playing words with me and I lose. I think for a while and

Uploaded finally...

2013-03-13T21:32:00.001+07:00

At last after more than 24 hours, rsync does its job flawlessly, I wonder why googlecode don't have this feature. Finally three months of uncertainty have put my MinGW distro into version 0.7, tons of stuff are there and all of them 100% OSS, portable and mostly build as standalone exe. This is largest package I have ever made! phew... I hope everything works out of box! Being thinking about its

List of UPX Illiterate AntiVirus

I want to make a black campaign and my target is some consistently ignorant AntiVirus makers. Thanks to virustotal.com for make this painless Simple case: 1. gplc.exe (gnu prolog) https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/9e2acb4176669e48f7a0aadd3fcbb39ade979b8843be87db9da5a42fe10ec290/analysis/1362534179/ 2. pack gplc.exe with UPX https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/

Zenity 3.6.0 Portable

2013-02-27T21:22:00.001+07:00

In Windows we can use WSH to interact with console/batch processing task, or for simple case "net send" or "msg" will suffice. Then I found zenity, a modern version of cdialog which curses based. This tool use GTK as its gui to bridge console I/O with modern dialog window for many purpose. Its template (glade ui) can be customized too. I found it a good match for bash though I haven't try it

GTK 3.6.4 DevPack

2013-02-16T10:15:00.000+07:00

This is actually just a re-post of PyGI AIO (see main page). Since building PyGI consequently need to build the whole things and that because PyGI have poor documentation (actually it means to be that way, so you're forced to read C documentation instead), so I build the important part of this, devhelp. Which make your life way easier (it's a kind of CHM in concept), then gedit (not my choice of

Three Console MIDI Players

2013-02-10T18:28:00.002+07:00

This weekend topic is MIDI player, of course there are more than just three MIDI players :-p in the crowded Windows world even for OSS. But I will cover three players as representative of three common synths. The first is GUS patches based synthesizer, for this one I choose wildmidi. GUS patches is a collection of individual instrument sound which each parameter/effect stored in configuration

How to get recent usp10.dll for your aging XP

2013-02-06T18:48:00.000+07:00

According to wikipedia article about Uniscribe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniscribe you can get (as this written) the latest usp10.dll from Office 2010 (the last Office to support XP) and slightly updated version 1.626.7600.20796 from its SP1, but you could get it in easier way: - Download full installer of PowerPoint Viewer and install it - or download the smaller PowerPoint Viewer 2010 SP1

MyPaint and PyGI

2013-01-29T16:35:00.000+07:00

I got several emails from mypaint users who want to know the progress of windows version. I have tidying up what I left last weekend. I hope you could participate as I lack of time nowadays. Several days ago a user of gramps (gramps-project.org) put his interest on my PyGI build which motivated me to look at it again after I failed to get it work with mypaint. Last sunday I put new PyGI build

Overhead! overhead

2013-01-28T01:21:00.000+07:00

The next tuma mingw should be a big one, really... a bloated one! thanks to the fairly long period after 0.6x the last release, it's now really turned to a distro of console based apps inside ConEmu box. I got miktex and whatever tex (asymptote, dblatex, jade, etc) integrated, along with dozens of additional tools. But I have big problem: clean-up The cleanup turn out really overkill, I have

Irssi for MSYS

2012-12-24T01:44:00.001+07:00

Previously I tried to port finch which failed and have been looking at centerim too which nowhere easier. Now I'm back to focus on just the IRC part and let pidgin do YM task, the choice is clear: Irssi it also the most promising one to port than the two before. Irssi however is dull without perl just like all irc client supposed to be but adding perl would be too big, too many files. I decide

A Peek at MyPaint on Windows...

2012-12-01T17:22:00.001+07:00

Not exactly what I want to write, but I have skipped the whole month now. Last weekend I tried latest mypaint and things are out of my reach. I couldn't build it normally at all and quite lost in the scons scripts but nonetheless I managed to made it. Still http://gna.org/bugs/?19948 (I'd personally call this release blocker for Windows) is here to stay. I try read the commits which trigger this

Visual BASIC 6 GPL?

2012-10-20T07:33:00.001+07:00

Long time ago I've heard (from digg/slashdot, I forgot which) a plan to release VB6 as open source which later denied by MS staff. But now I found this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvb6 It is a real full GUI VB6 (by microsoft) with "about" dialog still showing serial number (lol) but mention new license under GPL-3 (hmm.. they usually using their own Public License). Suspicious sources

finch in windows (failed)

2012-10-13T22:06:00.000+07:00

This weekend I want a little chat client like irrsi but want YM support (quite common here) too. Finch (part of pidgin) seems fit to this. I got libpurple compiled and appear to work. Finch however is a bit unix (even its glib stuff), so i try to strip most that hurdle compiling and able to get it linked (static build mingw). Problem is somehow pressing two sequence keystrokes will register as

NTFSLink 64bit version

2012-10-10T18:46:00.002+07:00

NTFSLink has been around for quite long time, but no 64bit binary found (at least by me), sometime I had to use 64bit windows which I use Link Shell Extension as NTFSLink replacement. But I prefer much NTFSLink for its simplistic (smart) context menu and how it show the origin of a junction. ntfslink64.7z source is from https://github.com/miracle2k/ntfslink To install use the included

POV Ray 3.7rc3 Console Edition

2012-10-10T18:26:00.000+07:00

Sometime at work, colleague start discussing about the new renderman (v17) and the would it be fit for architectural pipeline musing, it's been a while since I tested PRMan (pirated edition of course :), that time I already accustomed with V-Ray's "one click render" way and thus feeling upset with what PRMan produce by default (speed and quality). It's only when I found pov-ray (again not used

Ultimate++ Library Edition

2012-09-05T20:53:00.002+07:00

This weekend I'm evaluating several GUI Libraries which have very liberal license such as new BSD or MIT. and found only IUP which is C based. There are some GUI libraries come as part of framework, they use different configuration and often have their own build tool: VCF and U++. Both C++ based and was meant to be work together with the sources instead of available in usual binary distribution

Windows backward evolution tree

2012-09-05T05:35:00.001+07:00

I was born mid '80 that time nature is my playground, mud on hand, dirt all over shirt, everything is fun. I did got my first PC experience, I think that time I use DOS 3.x playing digger, pango and once in a while have a dig at GW-BASIC making pictures with CAD-like commands. Isn't DOS a simple experience? it was, although I had to type at least I don't (need to) care about the OS itself. That

no dropbox left

2012-08-29T11:46:00.002+07:00

Phewww.. got another dropbox suspension (nothing left now) though I could just made another clones but... Apologize for the goners, will try to back it up at googlecode someday.
