Hi !
This is the fifth version of my website since 2000. This time I've decided to design it more Aqua-like and to present my different hobbies. Of course the music stuff wasn't left apart. The Symbian page presents some tips and tricks concerning developpement for 3G/UMTS mobile phones. The Web Box section can be considered as a kind of portfolio. You can also find some of my Lego constructions in the Lego section. Have fun ! MatD Matthieu DERU
My design suggestion for EURO 2016 French candidature logo
(Posted 06/07/09 by MatD)
You have certainly heard about the 2016 UEFA European Football Championship, or Euro 2016 for short. Each country is now suggesting cool logos for their candidature. Unfortunately France has a very "childish" logo. L'Express.fr has asked to suggest a new logo. I've decided to take my mouse, a pen and Fireworks to design a new one. I've submitted this logo to the magazine. You can see the original design on this page.

Convert MP4 to MP3 with Automator and GarageBand
(Posted 06/05/09 by MatD)
You have certainly tens of cool videos in MP4 format. But when it comes to convert them into MP3 in order to listen them onto your iPod/iPhone or MP3 player the task isn't so easy.
Sure there are a lot of software and sharewares that will do the job, but we don't need them ;-) Automator and Garageband will do the dirty stuff for you. Of course you'll be able to process hundreds of files in one click.

Peugeot 3008 pics (Posted 14/03/09 by MatD)
I was surprised to see this car on a parking. The black stickers on the car parts hidding the famous lion was kinda bizarre so i decided to took some pictures of this car. After a quick research on the web : it's the new Peugeot 3008 that will be on the market this summer! So what you see are first pictures of the car ;-) Note the backlights that are completely different to the initial Peugeot design pictures.

Windows 7 (Posted 17/01/09 by MatD)
It was this January's tech event : Microsoft Windows 7's beta version was released. The best way to test Windows 7 is to use it in a virtual marchine. Installing Windows 7 with Virtual Box (by Sun) on a MacBook 13' Unibody works like a charm.

After hours of testing the robustness of Windows 7 leads to think that the release of this OS will definitely wash away the really bad impressions of Windows Vista.

Web 3.0 Innovative Semantic Interactions with Spotlets (Posted 21/12/08 by MatD)
Here and there you have certainly have heard of the new semantic web and Web 3.0. Unfortunately the concept is pretty complex to understand and not very user friendly. That's why we (Simon Bergweiler and myself) decided to find a new way to interact with the upcoming Web 3.0. Now everyone can use Web 3.0 without having to be an OWL or SPARQL expert

iPhone 3G start (Posted 17/07/08 by MatD)
8 o'clock : It was raining this morning and a group of 10 persons met in front of the Orange store to get this year's most awaited device: the new iPhone 3G. Only 18 iPhones were available. At 8:30 all iPhones were sold.

Here are the first pics of the iPhone 3G unboxing.

I had no activation problems and the phone works with any Orange (FR) SIM card. I have also installed first apps of the AppStore. More about the iPhone and Cocoa Touch Development can be found in a few day in the Mobile section

 

Wii Balance Board Part 2: World of Warcraft (Posted 15/06/08 by MatD)
In our first video, we were using Google Earth and Microsoft Virtual Earth to surf around the world. This time we wanted to show that other interactions are possible (such as circular movements). In order to illustrate this, we decided to record another video with a famous game: World of Warcraft.

Here is the Youtube link : http://youtube.com/watch?v=ucEV7N0N9Pw


Wii Balance Board Hacked ;-) (Posted 20/05/08 by MatD)

When tagging makes fun: ESP games (Posted 20/05/08 by MatD)

Tagging picture is sometimes not very funny, but if you turn this into a two-player game. you will get Google Image Labeler: on a random principle, a partner is found by Google Image Labeler. If your partner suggests the same words or definitions for a displayed image, you will win points. Of course the more precise you are, the more points you will win. It's worse to try, believe me! This game is highly addictive! http://images.google.com/imagelabeler/

And of course if you want so more background information concerning this "game", read this interesting Wiki Article : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Image_Labeler

Here are other websites of ESP Games (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESP_Game) : gwap.com with the possibility to tag tunes (!) or you also have PeekaBoom.org which also makes a lot of fun to play with.
