Generate Flash

I’ve transitioned to using Linux for work, finding some tasks quicker but facing challenges with Flash content generation. While MTASC offers a reliable ActionScript 2.0 compiler, it lacks pre-compilation. Ming, a PHP library for Flash, shows potential despite its outdated status. I aim to develop a small application using these tools soon.

SWF XML Meta Language

I reconsidered developing Flash Applications without an IDE, focusing on content/code separation using Actionscript 2.0, SVG-SWF conversion, and ming for compile-time objects. This would allow application modifications via command line, especially useful on Linux systems. I'm considering creating a Python application to compile these XML files into ming/sswf files, which seems like an interesting project.

New Longhorn Shots Popup

New images of Longhorn have emerged, showcasing its resemblance to Windows XP but with a somewhat cluttered appearance. With a year left until release, the focus seems to be on the underlying technology. There is speculation about whether Apple will launch version 10.5 before Longhorn's debut.

TAGBAG Dashboard Widget

Introducing TAGBAG, my first Dashboard-Widget that provides an overview of tags used with the Spotlight-Comment feature. This widget is ideal for those who categorize files extensively. Further details and the download link are available on the dedicated page. Note: the site may not display well in Internet Explorer.

Tagbag 1.02

A new version of TagBag, 1.02, has been released. This update addresses a bug and introduces a new feature to enhance usability. Further details are available on the TagBag website.

Thanks for the donation! I will compile the reported changes and bugs into a todo list, prioritizing bug fixes before adding new features. The Widget has received significant attention from various major blogs, marking an unexpected media response.

I'm drunk, it was a hot day, and I'll post a tagbag update tomorrow

I had intended to enjoy a couple of glasses of red wine, but it turned into three glasses of red and two of white. Despite this, I updated tagbag and will share the update tomorrow.

Tagbag 1.10b out!

Tagbag 1.10b has been released with several updates, including an alphabetical list sort, a new CSS-based scrollbar, and fixes for the Finder-window bug. Users can now customize tag displays and group items based on dot characters. Support for Unicode and Asian characters has improved, and minor quirks remain, but the overall functionality is enhanced compared to version 1.02b.

Tagbag 1.20 out!

Tagbag 1.20 has been released, moving out of beta with a list of enhancements. Key updates include functional preferences, improved Finder window opening when clicking on a tag, and a new option to reload tags each time the Dashboard is displayed. Looking forward, I plan to introduce more features.

Tagbag 1.25 released

I released tagbag 1.25, a minor bugfix update featuring a new enhancement: clicking on the group now opens a Finder window. I plan to utilize my free time this week to implement additional features from my Todo list.

I got my iPhone

I just received my iPhone, currently running software version 1.0.2 due to carrier restrictions, and I'm impressed. While it may lack some modern mobile features, it excels in several other areas. I plan to share more insights soon.

New X-Server for Linux

Wayland aims to address persistent issues in Linux desktop experiences, such as lag, tearing, and flickering during rendering. Despite advancements in Linux as a desktop OS, the outdated X-Server has hindered its appeal. Wayland promises a smoother, more visually cohesive experience, potentially enhancing user satisfaction and support for Linux as a viable desktop alternative.

My first iPhone Application. 'Happiness'

I have published my first application on the iTunes App Store after months of work. The app, Happiness, is based on Dolf Zillmann's Mood Management Theory, aiming to enhance mood through uplifting imagery and laughter. While simple, it has provided valuable insights into the app development process. Feedback from users is welcomed for future improvements.
