24 Oct 03:07 That’s right kiddies, I just got bit by the new security restrictions in Flash Player 10. A developer I’m working with claimed his new image save feature worked. I tried it, and it didn’t. This morning, another developer sings praise in an email chain, and I’m like huh? I try again, and get the: Error #2176: [... 16 Oct 11:57 I’ve briefly kept tabs on the blogs the past few months, and only rarely seen a post discussing the economy. Like Carrie says, if you want to write well, write about what you know. My guess is, we don’t have many economists/software developers/designers blogging on AXNA, or linking to others who match that criteria. I’ve [... 22 Sep 12:33 In central Atlanta, driving home from a friends house, my wife calls. “My friend came over, but there was no gas on the way here. She doesn’t have enough to make it home.” “No worries, I’ll stop by a place on the way home, buy a tank, and fill it up. At worse, I’ll just siphon [... 19 Sep 14:09 I’ve been working on a Flex app where I needed to force landscape printing to ensure it would print out well. Relying on the user to choose landscape won’t work. Steven Sacks had the original solution in AS2/AS1. Darron Schall had some additional advice for Flex 1.5 built upon from Lin Lin’s advice. I’m using [... 9 Sep 23:44 I had an errand to run yesterday and my peer at ESRIA, Brian Riley, had some interesting news, so it was a perfect time to call. After we discussed his good news, I then veered the conversation to lack of a formalized Mediator in Cairngorm to get his thoughts. Also known as “Abstract [... 19 Jul 03:08 …now with 200% more “typically”! I was originally scheduled to speak about Making Bling with Flex at the 360Flex conference here in Atlanta. I then got the flu, learned I needed to have an organ removed at the emergency room, and missed the entire conference. Doug & Juan filled in for me. Days later [... 18 Jun 02:06 I’m using Gaia , the framework for Adobe Flash , for one of my projects. As a n00b, I’ve screwed up my site.xml a few times since I didn’t read the manual. Gaia 2.2 helps a tad in that regard by now validating your site.xml before it goes about scaffolding the whole thing [... 29 May 15:04 Two Directory Source Control is a work flow where you utilize one directory from source control, one directory that you work out of, and you then shuttle between them at your convenience. In this article, I’ll describe how traditional work flows work, the problems with them, and how you can use the Two Directory [... 17 May 09:41 The first part of consulting is having the initial meeting with the client. Using the Consulting Process, you identify the client’s problem, and determine if you are capable of fixing it. Not currently being with a firm causes me to scout for work (pouring through a TON of emails and phone calls, not [... 14 May 13:51 I put in my 2 weeks notice 3 weeks ago at Multicast Media Technologies, a Live and On Demand Online Video company here in Atlanta.
