I contacted Jordan, I believe Readify are fixing the server?
To confirm I believe everyone is getting these errors and certainly my posts

Melbourne 1-5 December

 

Hi all, we are running a free Silverlight "Artists in Residence" program for
developer/designer pairs in Melbourne from 1-5 of December. The idea is to
get developers and designers quickly up to speed with Silverlight,
Expression and Visual Studio, and give them a chance to work on a small
project of their choosing, with help from mentors. Beats conventional
classroom training if you ask me.

[OzSilverlight] Smooth playback of static image frames

2008-10-30 Thread John OBrien 
Hey guys,

I have a little project to prototype in Silverlight that has a set of
aligned images I need to switch between - think one image control with each
source image (PNG) a frame to navigate between. I'm thinking the scrollwheel
for main interaction. Any thoughts on the best way to implement? Need high
performance, images from URL/config, lots of them, need to automate pipeline
for final version.

 

1.   Image control, flip to new source file  / maybe some double
buffering needed? How do I handle the delay to download?

2.   Multiscaleimage control - change tilesources. Don't really need
uber resolution - 1024x1024. Pretty slow.

3.   MediaElement control - create a HD WMV with each image as a frame.
Bit like the old trick to get a mock 3D object in flash. As the images as
similar the codec should compress well and handle streaming. I'm pretty sure
it is easy to navigate between individual frames?

 

Looking around this is best example  - a slideshow - that I've found
(actually the only example I've found that is designed to work with large
numbers of images and pre-cache):

http://firstfloorsoftware.com/slideshow/slideshow-2-preview/ 

 

The things I'm considering are:

. Scaling to different screen sizes

. Not having to wait for all images to be download before using

. Performance / Memory usage.

 

If I go with option 3, anyone know if there is a way to automate the
creation of the WMV? Does media encoder handle this? Can it be automated?

RE: [OzSilverlight] Code analysis - performance testing?

2008-10-27 Thread John OBrien 
Thanks Jonas!

No go on a complete WPF port, heavily rely on MultiScaleImage control
(DeepEarth). Will see what xPerf tells us and report back.

But since we have broken our logic into separate Silverlight class projects
I don’t see why I couldn’t write unit tests that emulate the UI and then
port these to a simple console app and then use dottrace as usual. Thanks
again!

John.

For profiling Silverlight 2 applications you got two options

 

1.  Port it to WPF and use any .NET profiler. This actually works fine
in many cases, specially if your code is not UI intensive (I.e. the UI is
not your perf problem)
2.  Use xPerf
(http://blogs.msdn.com/seema/archive/2008/10/08/xperf-a-cpu-sampler-for-silv

For network monitoring etc. I just use FireBug.

RE: [OzSilverlight] Make the web deep zoomable?

2008-07-12 Thread John OBrien 
Gee, go and highjack my thread guys ;)

But, some interesting points about mobile web browsers, safari on the iphone
clearly being the most advanced currently - btw what ever happened to
http://labs.live.com/deepfish/ ?

So if everyone made their web images deep zoomable would this benefit mobile
browsers? Only the tiny version of the image would be needed, hence much
less bandwidth, if you zoom in it can stream more detail.

I'm really looking forward to Silverlight2 support on mobiles.

 

So now that David is clearly donating his new Iphone as a prize ;) (I
actually have 3 copies of MSDN premium includes vs2008 team edition)  is
anyone actually interested in a comp around turning real world web pages
into deep zoom demos? Fun way to try out deep zoom composer... what would
make you enter? I grabbed http://www.deepzoomable.com/ just in case.

I bought my iPhone yesterday and will see it 4 days. I would prefer to see
some of your Silverlight solutions on the iPhone and all other devices and
so i'll leave it that.

 

They've offered some interesting data packages but pale in comparison to the
US. As last I looked you can spend upwards of $600 for 5gb for example and
here with AT&T I spend a total of $45USD for unlimited. That being said, 3g
in Australia has much better coverage than the US and the mobile market is
much larger and competitive here.

 

It will be interesting how Apple sustain this buzz post early adopters and
how the average household digests the new data plans + device costs. I can
see the iPod Touch take a downward spiral in terms of sales and the iPhone
increases. As why would you own both? unless the telcos pricing models is to
steap it will be interesting none the less.

Silverlight (and flash) work fine in Safari on the PC (and assuming Mac
too). So how come the iPhone doesn't run Flash and Silverlight apps? Is it
Apple that need to implement an update for iPhone to allow them to run?
Anyone know how far off that might be? 

I've seen some apps that behave differently on iphone (such as Google mail)
on iphone (actually iPod touch, I'm still waiting for my iPhone). Wondering
how they go about doing that. Given how popular it is, it's going to be
something you should look at if you have online apps. It's annoying how so
many web sites look like crap on a mobile device, I'm hoping that the
arrival of the iPhone is a catalyst for that to change and we get a flow on
to other mobile devices as well. It's had that effect with mobile data
rates, finally the Telcos are offering capped voice plans that include data.
(scummy data, but some is better than none) It's annoying that it's taken
them so long. Why did it take the release of the iphone for them to
introduce that?

2008-07-06 Thread John OBrien 
Jose Fajardo started this for me at remix Australia with his concept of a
how a news site could look if they used Deep Zoom for their images.

Recently I was pretty disappointed by a leading used car site offering 175px
images of my car so had a play with a "what if they used deep zoom" idea:

Blog post:

http://www.soulsolutions.com.au/Blog/tabid/73/EntryID/482/Default.aspx

Sample:

http://deepzoom.soulclients.com/drive/

 

Anyway got me thinking, wouldn't it be cool to have a site and/or
competition where people could mock up their favourite site, but make it use
deep zoom?

 

What do you think? Would you submit one if I put a site up to host them with
a little tutorial on how to do and added voting, comments etc?

RE: [OzSilverlight] RE: Deep Zoom Problems

2008-06-25 Thread John OBrien 
A. All the way in

 

I think the limitations hit to date are with the composer tool not the
multiscaleimage control itself. For the example the VE stuff we are doing is
the essentially a 134,217,728 x 134,217,728 px image (hence my 18 petapixel
talk). It works great.

http://deepzoom.soulclients.com/ve/ 

But there is always some limitation using 32 bit numbers or floating point
precision etc. Anyway know what it actually is? Max number of subimages, max
size for an image, max zoom?

 

Sort of off topic - what program did you make your funky Silverlight
character in Scott? I think Bronwen and my meegoes need some pimping ;)

 

John.

Q. How far do you want to zoom?

 

Also - What limitations are you facing with Deep Zoom? and how do you want
us to fix them should they exist?

 

Have you all seen: http://projectsilverlight.blogspot.com/ ? 

 

p.s

Meet with the Deep Zoom folks today at their HQ (sweet office in down town
Seattle), there is a lot to be said for this technology, very exciting times
ahead.

Hi Alex,

 

Not sure if this is related to the issue you're having, but I was listening
to a DotNetRocks show http://www.dotnetrocks.com/default.aspx?showNum=348 a
while back where they were talking Deep zoom.  And it seems there are some
limitations on how far you can zoom, a quick Google and I also found a post
on the Expressions team's blog mentioning  some limitations
http://blogs.msdn.com/expression/archive/2008/06/07/what-s-new-in-deep-zoom-
composer.aspx#8602273 

 

Good luck,

Ola

I have been playing around with deep zoom a little and have run into an

I have written a quick blog about it:

Any ideas?

RE: [OzSilverlight] Deep Zoom with Virtual Earth Part2

2008-06-14 Thread John OBrien 
Nice work!

It is possible to have many layers (subimages) and set opacity, I wonder if
the transparency from those hybrid layers will work though.

We, mainly Nicolas, have been playing with other data sources and hope to
have a nice solution that provides not only the tile assets but also correct
projection support for LatLong to pixel conversions that will allow content
to be accurately positioned when changing tilesets.

 

I hadn’t thought of the Mars and Moon images, very cool!

 

The first basic prototype of a xaml pin has been added, click to have focus
on the control and press “n” to put a pin on the Sydney Opera House.

http://deepzoom.soulclients.com/VE/ 

 

This could be anything, the xaml itself could react to interactivity but
could also be self aware of the zoomlevel in relation to the map. For
example a real estate application may show a small dot when zoomed out but
show the actual listing as you zoom right in. Possiblities are endless and I
guess the point of the open source project.

 

I also want to play with getting some of my huge panoramas into the control.

John.

Further to John's work on the DeepZoom+VE example...

http://silverlightearth.com/2b2/

I already had the various tile-server uri patterns for Geoquery
<http://www.conceptdevelopment.net/Database/Geoquery/>  (here
<http://www.conceptdevelopment.net/Database/Geoquery/MapSources.xml> ) so it
didn't take long to wire-up. Obviously it would be better if the two 'hybrid
overlays' could be turned on/off _above_ another map layer...

You should take the cartoons in your deep zoom demo and flip it a bit. In
that put the next cartoon in secret places of each cartoon (like a sticker

Duncan, this is not silverlight but we have done that exact thing with the
AJAX slider controls in the past with success.

Check out:

We butted the two sliders together and just added some simple code to ensure
that the minmin. It looks ugly, I'm a programmer and that is a
test site, but works pretty well. (Fires a AJAX web service to filter the
map)

Hey folks, just wondering if anyone has done any work with the slider

Rather than have a single thumb on the slider, i want to have 2 thumbs - 1
to indicate the maximum value in my range, and 1 to indicate the minimum.

 

I'm thinking it may be possible by overlaying 2 slider controls, but I'd
rather do it with 1 slider, 2 thumbs if that's an option...

 

Can anyone help?

I 2nd that. Nice effect to share.

I commented on your blog it would be interesting to add a very subtle zoom
on the person under focus. Show a little more power of Silverlight animation
and also draw more focus and provide some movement to the page. But it maybe
over the top. Love the effect as is.

[OzSilverlight] RE: Jose's DeepZoom demo from REMIX08

2008-05-30 Thread John OBrien 
Indeed we are Chuck, I didn't know this list existed, hello everyone.
We are doing a few things, one is with the cultural sector looking at
something similar to the hard rock memorabilia site but with more items, one
project is looking at 18,000 high resolution art works. We have all the
pieces although the whole automated command line processing is very
undocumented and we face issues about the top limit of items we can display
at one time. We have no way to uniquely identify an item within the
collection apart from the zindex which is a bit hacky. And of course the
bandwidth could kill us ;)

Personally I've been playing with deep zoom for 50+ megapixel panorama
photos, little article for anyone that is interested:
http://www.liveside.net/blogs/developer/archive/2008/05/11/create-a-deep-zoo
m-panorama-with-windows-live.aspx
And you can check out a few shots from Bronwen's 350d (I hear you got the
400d Scott?):
http://bronwenz.smugmug.com/gallery/4980796_NRXFM

I'm also looking at a community project around Virtual Earth and
Silverlight2 where ideally we would use the multiscaleimage control (deep
zoom) but change the tile source - not even sure if this is possible.

I actually had a good chat with Jose at remix in Melbourne, he has some
great ideas.

Keen to know what others are up to. Deep Zoom is awesome.
