just wanting to get this posted before I close the computer for the rest of the day - a hard uphill struggle with screen resolutions today - back to it tomorrow with a little more experience and hoping for better results before i have to pack the setup down.

for 3/3/11
yesterday was just a test to see how difficult it would be to set up the comp and the screen along with the feeds. There are some issues that would have to be ironed out before going into a professional environment but still, I was happy with the results.
Today I will attempt to make more than one feed and have it on multiple screens coming from the same comp. I will use a triplehead2Go adapter that will hopefully allow the comp to recognise more than one screen thus allowing more than one feed to be displayed at the same time.
results WILL follow :-)

first day of testing in warehouse, 29/3/11
was able to set up the twitter feeds onto two screens. This is just an extension of the computer made onto fullscreen. Still have to play around more with the res of the screen and the size of the iframe that is dictated in the code. Video below is from the setup...

and then sometimes...
and then sometimes you get a doodle that was done i don't know when and there is something behind the madness, the arbitrariness of it, that lets it fall into its own category. What that category is, I can't decipher. But for some reason, the image just holds me and I want to blow it up and plaster it onto a billboard somewhere advertising nothing... here is one such image below. I have a load of these, some of the scribbles are only good for one thing (and you may think that this is one of them but then you would be wrong) and trust me, that is where they end up - then some come along and just hold me...
an aim of mine would be to some day mimic this on the scale that I want to see it, where it absorbs me, smothers me in colours that I understand as a reflection of my surroundings.

sleeping on a pillow
just testing the stitching function on photoshop with some pleasing results - have scanned in a drawing onto my a4 scanner but the drawing is a2 - so you can see the problems right away, what!? did a few scans and then stitched them together and here is the result - whoa (i know, i get a little over the top with these things)
And then just threw in the background on a whim...

CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT!!
Yes, content is KING folks, and let no designer tell you different.
Adding finishing touches to a website that I am doing at the moment and then waiting for the onwers of said site to write a little content to add. When it is all done and dusted i will put up a link.
Least to say, the site is made in Wordpress, the first time I have used this CMS - in fact, the first time I have used a CMS more complicated than blogspot. And now do i find it...? Well, not as intuitive as I had have hoped and i don't know whether that is because of my own expectations and competencies or just dodgy UI - perhaps a mixture of the two. I dont see myself as a UI guru but there are just ways that the WP backend layout doesn't play well to the eye and some of the documentation has itself to be documented. I guess its all in the learning curve.
Though to say there are many little pitfalls that you encounter and wouldn't think about unless you had someone sitting watching over your shoulder - it would be difficult to learn this completely from scratch with no guidance other than what is offered by the WP.org itself - still, go there in the end and am now prepared to go on and do another site for myself in WP - (though still have this notion that I may do the anti-site I had the idea for many moons ago - a site with absolutely no structure, just links and images all the way - no CSS - oh the frivolity of it all!!!)

Color app.
have been hearing a lot about this new mobile app called Color - basically a smart photo sharing app with which can recognise pictures taken of the same event and choose the best one - spontaneous social networking - here is the founder having his say after the critics panned it on its release - personally, I have not played with it yet, in fact still have to download and get to grips with it - but could be especially interesting at conferences and concerts on a big screen - going to have a play and maybe suggest it to Comtech. see if it works....
internship - update...!
At a bit of a loss of what to do today. Since I couldn't come in yesterday when i was hoping to have a chat with the "big man" to secure the use of some equipment, and now that I come intoday and he had already left this morning... well well. Though he does have (mcuh) bigger fish to fry.
And I only want to really start playing with the set up of the screen when they are actually set up... but a video from a few days ago just saying where I am at ...

PS there was some problems with the previous podcast - I had rendered it in GarageBand and for some reason... yeah yeah, bad workman and tools (accuser! you know who you are!) and it outputted in .m4a format, something that zshare wouldn't stream. So here is a link back to the original post and the file link has been updated so that you can stream directly from the website.

Another video from the bank
And another video from the bank showing different states of the lights. One cool feature that may not be on the videos are the built in sensors on each of the doors. When a certain door opened then a wave of light would be emitted from the LED's above that door.
Outside job. (part of internship)
Here is a video from a project I was working on a few weeks ago as part of my internship. This was outside of Comtech, but with another firm who work in the same area, not on such big jobs as Comtech and perhaps a bit more specialized, but in the same line of work.
The light installation was for a investment bank in Copenhagen in there "ideas" department - I guess as a way to inspire their workers (I had other "ideas" :-)). Each light is an LED mounted into the ceiling with a solid perspex tube (pictured for effect) placed below it.
The individual lights are each programmed (allotted a number) and then already programmed states are feed into the server. Each LED lights up depending on the current state and time frame.
Painstaking work but well worth the end result!

Next steps
Lost another day due to sick kids - but alas, was able to do a little in house reading - brushing up on html.
Said that I wanted to crack on with html5 but since deadlines are starting to approach, I am going to refresh my xhtml instead - no point in making it more complicated.
But very simply, have set up a page with a coveritlive iframe in the center. Will get this onto the screens and then play. I think it will be better to play with it on the screens rather than making a mock up on the laptop and then transferring that. Since I have the opportunity to build the set up in the warehouse, I should take advantage of the space and the time that will be afforded to me next week.
The image is of the basic set up of the system -
In the set up there is a computer which receives the feed via wifi. This is then scanned and injected into the media server which itself cannot process realtime feed (but there is a difference here in terminology since "realtime" means something different when talking about motion graphics - will find out what. To me, realtime also has a sense of interaction. perhaps this is the same, but when I propose interaction, it is with multiple users via the internet, whereas in media server terms, it is with the technician controlling the different pre-rendered graphics(?)). What is important here, is that the media server can "serve" the feed into the alloted position on the screens, whatever the screen set up (mentioned in the diagram itself). Within the media server, we place the feed onto its own layer and can then add it to other graphics - either produced within the media server or imported by other means.
Questions of screen resolution will arise and be answered in tandem of positioning.

Internship development.
Having to work at home today due to a sick daughter.
Trying to recap html, as I have said before - moving onto html5, why go back? Have started with w3 documentation - most comprehensive place to start.
Goals for todays work and later on tonight -
1-get an html5 page uploaded with a coveritlive feed incorporated
2-work some on the drop.dk website (will write more about this in a different post)
3-aftereffect tutorial - since I may want to put some moving graphics into the html5 pages in the coming future.
So then, get to it.
Oh, and 4- put up a video blog of how I think it is going with the internship in general.

what is happening right now
sine this mornings post, i have been writing mails and getting in contact with folks to begin the collection of materials and evidence into what I have been up to for the past weeks during my internship - but what I want to do now is a short recap on iframes in a html5 context - and to start playing with the visuals for a mock up of what could be a big screen set up for a conference - this would include the real time element of a twitter and blogging feature. quick wireframe shown below. there are implications of whether the live feed is set up alongside of a "movie" on the same screen when it comes to the setting up of the hardware - how many screens does it have to go through etc etc - when there are many elements that need to be projected and rendered at the same time, it is best to have a committed computer to the task - this type of committed computer is called a "media server". there are various types of media server, and the newest to be introduced to Comtech is called Hippotiser, a window based set-up from Green Hippo - and i have been told, but not able to check out for myself (everybody else wants to play with the new toy and I am at the back of the que, so it seems), that it can "hijack" the screen of another device and add this screen grab into whatever setup is being displayed in a certain position - but this is the only media server that can do this. Strange that none of the servers can import feeds like this directly.
progress in internship
another day at the office - and having to start to evaluate and collect work from over the past few weeks. Also, to recap upon the goals that I set myself for this learning process and whether those are being fulfilled.
In brief, there were three goals (set out in the learning goals document);
1, twitter wall
2, big screen projection
3, sms to screen projection
These three projects, at the beginning of my internship, were all possible to some degree - with scope inside of each project varying in complexity and interest.
Unfortunately, as the internship progressed, one of the propositions, sms to screen projection, fell by the wayside due to a restructuring of the company, meaning that the expertise that was within the company within this field, left. I could have proceeded an investigation of this area, but since it wasn't necessarily my first interest (the backend workings would have interested me, and there may still be time to have a look at this, but the graphical and visual reach would have been limited - again, something I may still get time to look into) i decided to pursue the other two options.
The big screen projection idea, being visually and graphically the most intensive, would have been the most interesting project to me. But after asking different project leaders about the cost and implication of such a project, it soon turned out that it was not feasible. Not to go into the figures, the hiring of four Barco projectors over the proposed time was way over any plausible budget - and this was excluding, manhours, insurance etc etc.
What i did do in this area was to investigate how such a project could be implemented from a designers POV. This is something I am working on at present and will have results for as the internship draws to a close.
The Twitter wall idea has become the compromise project of this internship - as shown in some of the posts below, I have been practicing getting iframes to work (brushing up on my HTML, looking to move to HTML5) and am now in the process of transposing this onto big screens. More to come about this.
unfortunately, i am not able to make a video blog of this at present since I am in the office - but here is a photobooth image to illustrate it. Hope to get a video post up tonight.

test fail
Ok, so for some reason the test below did not turn out like I thought it would - i loaded up some test logos and they didn't appear and I forgot to optimize the width of the view window so that it fits into the blog window - my fault.
Will try again but perhaps put it onto my own space so that I can play more with the fullscreen settings - if they exist.
have tried and they do not exist for FF. But am now downloading FF4 to see if it supports full screen. and need plugin for safari. But have tried in chrome and it does support full screen. I don't have chrome on my macbook cause only running OSx.4 when chrome needs at least x.5, so will experiment with that when i get home to the imac.

test for safari - coveritlive
and here is the code - going to try this and then open in safari to see if the full screen option there is any better than firefox.

more plays
just getting back used to this doing stuff mode and here is some "stuff".
And I am still wanting to take some of these images and put them into aftereffects and play there - I think that some very interesting things could be done, especially if the results were to put up on a big screen. Animating the colour/opacity/contrast etc. Some of the images that i have posted before - the bastardizations, as I call them (since they are paintings of mine, scanned and then photoshoped) would also do well in these experimentations, but this 4xpanel image may be a good start just to get to grips with the software.
spo3podcast20
was listening to bbc 6music and Gideon Coe was coming on the waves. When I saw he had concert tracks from Franz Ferdinand, I had to turn off. The more I hear that band, and don't get me wrong, they fooled me for a while and a few tracks, the more I want to become a police commissionaire and ban art schools. Or is that just me?
Anyway, here is the playlist for this new podcast - I am not sure whether it is in the right order since I made this a few weeks ago - on Garageband, of all things (who needs Adobe these days) and I cant remember if I changed the running order while making the file - but anyway, it shouldn't be too far from the mark.
Mannish Boy - Muddy Waters
DC Comics and Chocolate Milkshake - Art Brut
Treat me like a dog - King Khan and BBQ Show
Diving - 50ft Wave
So Divided - ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
Burn My Shadow - UNKLE feat. Ian Astbury
Une Par Une - Vive le Fete
Waving my arms - The Birthday Party
Photoshop Handsome - Everything Everything
Every Little Girl - Maria Timm
Money(That's what I want) - Barret Strong
Glamorous - The Jesus Lizard
Anarchistic Bolshevistic Cowboy Bundle - Giant Sand
One of the Survivors - The Kinks
Stephanie Says - Lee Ronaldo
Occurance On The Border (Hopping On A Pogo-Gypsy Stick) - Gogol Bordello
Billy Hunt - The Jam
At Home he's a Tourist - Gang of Four
The Beat that my heart skipped - Dan Le Sac VS Scroobius Pip
So then, get it here, spread the word and keep listening.
Injoi!
PS, have checked the running order and all in order! And bollocks, the last track cuts off... ahhh garageband, eh?

2 updates in 2 days - holy moly!
As you can tell from the posts below, have been working on the coveritlive.com web based app - and I have to say, apart from the lack of visual adjustments that the user can play with (it has to be said, that there are ways you can reskin the app. but it costs moeny), I am overly impressed by the easiness of the set up and the options available - video, google translate, web cam(bit laggy to be expected) and the general speed of the feed. Of course to do with the upload speed of the connection.
So, whereas, all the engine room components worked a treat, it was the look that let it done. I have been in touch with the company and got an email back within an hour (good service) - here is there reply -
"
and then I also wrote about them on Twitter, and of course they are searching their own name daily to gauge what is being said and I got a reply through there aswell - talk about service!! So, tomorrow, going to look more into skinning this app.
Was also talking about media servers and if a live feed such as coveritlive.com could be delivered through a media server onto a big screen. i was told that there is one type of server, called Hippotizer - which comtech does not have (they use Catalyst and Pandoras Box) at the moment - they have bought two which will be going straight out on tour with TV2 when they arrive, so won't be able to play with them until after - and by that time it will be the summer. But anyway, what hippotizer does that other media servers don't is a function called "screen theft" where it captures what is happening from another computer. The server itself does not display real time feeds like a twitter feed and so has to capture it from another "server" i.e. another computer. This is only an issue if you are also displaying other media types on different screens. I think I will look more closely at this in the coming weeks.
I am also doing some scans at the moment and am going to try an experiment with them using Aftereffects that I would like to see on a big screen - yippee! could be quite trippy!

Hi Marc,"
Thanks for writing with your question. The Viewer Window (the window that your readers see) can be resized. You can click here for more info and instructions.
However, the Writer’s Console (where you administer the event) is one set size. If that’s too small for your monitor then you could try either changing your browser’s settings (increase the text size/ zoom in by launching a browser window outside of the console and adjusting the settings through the browser menu – Safari instructions below) or you can change the monitor’s screen resolution.
I hope this information is helpful to you.
Best regards,

2nd test for coveritlive.com
so, since the other live event, the window was too wide for my blog, I am making anther one, so that I can see the full window, scroll bar, etc.
here is the code (viewed in the html mode at the backend of course)
and does the live event have to be saved in the control panel before this post with the embed code can be published??
and just to see what I can do below the window with some text and just to see what I can do below the window with some text and just to see what I can do below the window with some text and just to see what I can do below the window with some text and just to see what I can do below the window with some text

test for coveritlive.com
coveritlive is a real time live blogging tool. I have read the documentation and so I am going to give it a go here to see what happens. If, for some reason google and thus blogspot don't allow this embedding, then I will try it on my own site.
According to the docs. it is simply a matter of creating the blog and copy/pasting the code into a page or post (like this one).
so here is the code

internship - update...!
because of varying reasons, the internship is only starting to take real shape now - have a desk at the office but the noisy computer is not only an annoyance for me and others in the room, but also shutting down more often than usual - which, if it happens once, is too many times.
So, working on the twitter idea - have the LiveTwit theme working at my sandpit site on the web. need to figure out how I can window this off so that the browser is not shown.
Also looking into Coveritlive - but this seems to be more of a live blogging tool - a little more complicated so will take more investigation.
hope to be able to work off of some big screens soon and maybe get into the media server stuff too - will see. I envisage the twitter feed as part of a more comprehensive interface. Will make up a couple of mockups to illustrate this.
