WebObjects application launching as MainBundle.woa

For some unknown reason a couple of WebObjects applications were not not launching as the APPLICATION_NAME.woa but as MainBundle.woa and totally unusable as such.

When launching from Eclipse I got an error on locating Info.plist in JavaDTWGeneration.framework, JavaEOGeneration.framework and JavaEOProject.framework that was causing the problem.

Reinstalled Webobjects 5.4.3 and everything when back to normal.

Converting TOD FHD files from JVC Everio on Mac OS X
If you wan't to edit you Full HD videos from your Everio in iMovie you'll have to convert the videos to work on the mac.

You'll need to download and install ffmpegx and connect your JCV Everio via USB and locate the TOD file(s).

1. In ffmpegx click Open and choose the TOD file


2. Set the destination file in the Save As


3. Under Target format select MOV


4. Under Video set the bitrate to 28000


5. Under Audio it might be a good idea to match the bitrate too


6. Click Encode and just wait =)

The manual for the Everio can be found, as most manuals, at retrevo.com, but you have to sign up. For those how don't wan't to use this great service the manuals can be accessed on this folder at box.net.

Importing straigt into iMovie
You can set the record quality down to 1440( down from 1920 ) and then you can read straight from the Everio into iMovie via FireWire cable.
When you need to import into iMovie just follow the instructions in this video:

Unlimited email address with your Gmail

You can send yourself emails with the plus sign(+) after your gmail address and then any text you want after the plus sign and it will show up in your inbox. Ex. if your gmail address is rass@gmail.com you can send yourself and email to rass+gat@gmail.com.

This can be quite handy when giving your email to "unknown" websites and also with filters you can organize your email pretty neatly.

Note that not all website forms allow you enter the + sign, in those cases you can also replace gmail.com googlemail.com, e.x. rass@googlemail.com is delivered to rass@gmail.com ;)
