Thoughts on blogging
I made up my mind just now that I will blog this blog first, and then proceed to my Japanese one. As I am fluent in Japanese, it is a blog-like-talking process in the Japanese blog, whereas this blog requires certain concentration.
I hope this declaration makes it a rule for me to keep blogging here...

Detecting the end of .flv file
There must be an event listener that detects the end of .flv file. What I want to do is to play movies one after another, which is not complex at all...

Servlet thorough a proxy server
Finally I found how to make a servlet go through the UTS proxy server for it to access YouTube.
My web application (to be available online soon...) calls a Java servlet that does HTTP requests to YouTube server. See YouTube Developer Area for more information. There are nice example web apps.
I had a proxy problem ... well not really a problem, but it was a problem for me due to my lack of knowledge. While the process takes about 2 minutes without the proper setting, it only takes 200 msec with the appropriate setting. The URL should be set as below:
URL url = new URL("http", proxyHost, proxyPort, youtubeGetVideoByTagString);
... This is to make a Java servlet use a specific proxy server.

Resuming research log
I finally decided to come back to loggin a trace of my thoughts, along with renewing my main web site shigekifactory.com.
I am getting familiar with Joomla!, one of the most popular content management systems. I chose this because some parts of my research involve it.
And these days I strongly feel it is VERY important to advertise yourself as a researcher with your own web site as well as papers, posters, etc. It is your responsibility to let people know what you are doing, rather than people finding you.
And it is also very important to be able to track your thoughts. We need to somehow visualise what you were doing so that you can reflect on it and think about what you have done.
Static contents, such as your affiliateion, publication list (not really static, though), involved projects, etc. goes to the main web site, whereas dynamic / sporadical / unorganised contents such as what I did / read / found / etc. come to this blog.
See how it goes...:-).
