If you plan to get your Linux knowledge a formal nurturing, an online course may be something you would be interested in! These courses would be beneficial for people interested to master the art of Linux.
Just got the weirdest 404 page on Apple.com (see the screenshot, below), displaying the BBC News and BBC Sport logos and links to the BBC homepages when I tried to access http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/email_chat/
Huh?
I’ve been getting more interested in data visualization lately, which came across in the presentation I did with Tony Hillerson at 360|Flex San Jose. Part of that presentation involved gathering and visualizing personal data as a means of discovery and insight into our day to day.
One example involved Tony and I running RescueTime for about [...]
Quick hint if you use AS3 a lot, and use Netvibes.
1. Create a new tab in Netvibes.
2. Add a Web Page widget. Add Content -> Essential Widgets -> Web Page.
3. Configure the widget.
Title: AS3 (or whatever).
URL: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/
Height: 500 or whatever works for you.
4. Go to the tab’s settings and change number of columns to 1. [...]
Zogby International is a polling and opinion tracking company, and Zogby data is used by news organizations, businesses, political campaigns and more. And in this exciting (and contentious) political season, John Zogby has become something of a fixture on the news circuit. The Zogby website (which could use a UI overhaul) features news, trends, an electoral map, online polling, and more. And the site is all powered by ColdFusion (it appears to be ColdFusion 5). In fact, it looks like Zogby has been using ColdFusion for a very long time, because I found some pages with a .dbm extension!
I am a big XM Radio fan (integrated XM Radio has been a prerequisite when purchasing my last two cars, and I am addicted to Channel 130, POTUS 08 right now).
I just clicked on the XM Radio shop link, and discovered that the page (complete with the product selector) is running in the Flash player. And that loading bar makes it look suspiciously like it's powered by Flex.
A few people have asked about putting my FF08 presentation slides on line. Unfortunately (or fortunately actually), I don’t make slides with tons of info on them. No long lists of bullet points or text. Just some visual cues to give the audience something to look at and to help pace myself and know what [...]

So I subscribe to MXNA, or AXNA, or whatever it’s being called these days. You know what I’m talking about:
http://feeds.adobe.com/
So theoretically, Adobe is supposed to check out these feeds and ensure they are valid feeds, so we have a place to go to get real information from the Flash community. I’ve known people in the [...]
Well, here I go again, starting a new project when I already have way too much to do, but sometimes I just can’t help myself. An idea gets into my head and until I let it have its way, it haunts me. This one has been jangling around in there for a few weeks now, [...]
After reading Aral's post I realized that I totally forgot to ask you for your support, too. Just like him I also had submitted a session proposal for the South by Southwest Interactive conference 2009. Mine is called Fly, Peacock, Fly: Generative Visuals Without a Line Of Code and will be about Peacock the visual laboratory I'm developing for Aviary. So if you have got 3 minutes to spare it would be great if you first registered a voting account here (a step which you might not need since you have already voted for Aral): http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/users/register' (this account is only
Ah, how late can I be in pimping my SXSW session proposal? How about blogging it on the last day?
Guys and gals, I need your help: I've proposed a session for SXSW called Building on a Cloud and it would really help if you could take a moment to vote for it!
Thank you all [...]
Get your cool unofficial Centaur t-shirt for $20 from centaurshirt.com.
I wanted to give everyone a quick sneak peak of something I am working, that I should be releasing next week. As you can tell by the footer on this page, this blog is powered by Wordpress. I have found Wordpress to be one the best, most feature rich, well coded, and well designed publishing [...]
The Reflektions Miniml CD has been updated, new work exploring light effects and mesh triangulations and a bunch of new AS3 experiments, new frameworks (Flex) and compiler options (MXMLC) for swf creation. Good to have if you're a serious flash developer...
We feel there are coherent relations between the 'beauty of our codes' and the 'layout of our UI designs', and we do photography with as much enthusiasm as coding & designing.

We all know that apps often store user information on our hard drives, especially to remember login credentials and customized settings. Adobe AIR allows storing this information in encrypted format (AES-CBC 128-bit encryption) for any AIR app.
In Windows, they can be stored in (and deleted from) $APPDATA\Adobe\AIR\ELS\<AIRAPP NAME> (local store), for example C:\Documents and Settings\sravan\Application [...]
Another nice movie clip about developers. Sometimes, developers express themselves different.

I'm planned to spend this weekend to study the new FXG 1.0 specification released by Adobe on the Open Source site. As you probably know, FXG will be used by the next Flex 4 to improve the designer/developer workflow for skinning elements.
In Flex 4 in fact there is a brand new graphics tag library that uses FXG and that follows very closely the Flash Player 10 rendering model.
