While putting some final polish on my latest flash game, something utterly bizarre happened. I usually save putting in sounds for the last job, but due to re-used interface code the menu sounds (on rollover) for this game were already in place. While sorting through my somewhat pathetic sound library (around $15’s worth off of […]
This is probably a sign of bad blogging… but I have too many categories already. Maybe if I stuck to one uber-specific topic, I wouldn’t have this problem–but that wouldn’t be nearly as much fun. What I needed instead was a decent way of controlling which categories are displayed. After looking around […]
Not much activity in the last couple of weeks, so I thought I’d do a little update post. I made another game. I’d say it’s around 95% done (just need to do a bit of visual polish and grab some sound effects), but I’ll save that one for a post of its own […]
My friend Annie and I went to a BarCamp over the weekend. I’d never heard of them before, but it wasn’t too hard to talk me into an all night programming event. A BarCamp is sort of like a grass-roots conference where the participants are also the ones who present little mini-modules. […]
I had an idea for a game about a month ago. Normally I just prototype this things, file them away, and move on to the next one (there’s always a next one). I was taking part in the MochiAds beta at the time, though, so I figured I’d put a little more work […]
I’m working on adding Header controls to my version of the Flex Rich Text Editor, and I noticed that the ToggleButtonBar doesn’t… exactly… work. I dug into the source and saw why. When using the “ToggleOnClick” property, the TBB does some funny stuff that it’s parent, the regular ButtonBar, doesn’t really care about. […]
On Monday, I headed up to San Fran for one of Adobe’s little community events: an “Adobe Rich Internet Application Developer’s Camp.” I have to say, I really liked their corporate digs. Besides the 2-man behemoth of a company I’m working at now, I’ve worked at Electronic Arts and been to several events […]
For the last two weeks, I’ve only biked to work once each week. Apparently, winter in California means that it’s going to look like a thundering downpour is eminent every weekend… then clear up and look nice by lunchtime. I may have to actually start checking the weather report before deciding whether to bike or […]
