To find out what properties an object has, just ask for a listing. The following, for example, shows you all properties and methods on the os module. import os dir(os) In fact, [...]
I don't usually remember my dreams but this morning I woke from a horrible nightmare in which everything was going wrong. It's actually quite funny... We're at this Flash conference but it's being held at this horrible hotel. You know the kind where it was pretty swanky in the 70s but hasn't seen a new coat [...]
It’s a pity that we got big clouds at eclipse maximum.

I was checking the Detroit News site for updates on some local elections, and wondered on to the newspaper blog Blog House, and was really pleased to see that Detroit News Blog House is powered by ColdFusion. If anyone has any insight on this one, as in who built the site or what blog code they are using or anything else, please share.
In the last months there have been several blog posts about the evil that is Cairngorm. People are complaining about the framework on mailing lists and on forums and when talking to other developers, a lot of them seem to dislike Cairngorm, mostly in favor of other frameworks. Some projects I consulted on (often too [...]
Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I've been neck deep in client work, and prepping for a plethora (as in, too many of a good thing) of conferences. In addition to Flash on the Beach, FlashForward, and MAX San Francisco, I'll also be speaking at Austin Game Developers Conference, Flash On Tap, San Flashcisco...

I have never been a big gamer. But I remember sweating for hours at length creating my own stages in Tank and Lode Runner, and being thrilled while playing those as a kid. User-generated content in games could be the next big thing, and PlayCrafter, the gamers' next big thing. PlayCrafter is a suite of games [...]
There's a tremendous article on the BBC showcasing an upcoming television program, that encapsulates so much of what fascinates me right now as mashups don't just focus on bringing together different online data sources, but take real-world information, whether that be people or things, and bring that information into software applications.  What's even more interesting, is how this in itself creates an "architecture of participation", a suite of data that can be visualised over time, and from which insights can be gleaned that themselves may lead to innovations. "Britain from Above" will be first broadcast in the UK on...
