Oh great, and now the whole damn application crashes. All the tech around me seems to fail me today. I’m irritated as hell again.
I love progress bars that tell you to ‘only wait 5 more seconds’ and then stop moving for several minutes…
@joristimmerman hmm, thx. Might look into that later tonight. ;)
Out for drinks with @MrBrightSky and @lyntje
@joristimmerman Yea, I just found out :D Too bad :D Would’ve been cool for porting apps cross-device ;)
Happy to realize I still know how to load a SWF file. Unhappy to realize the iPhone packager doesn’t support this. Too bad… Let’s port!
Either I forgot how to load a SWF using the loader class, or the iPhone packager doesn’t support loading SWF’s at runtime.
2.0? Really… Come on… That was cool like 3 years ago… But it’s not anymore… ‘New’ is the new ‘new’.
RT @quasimondo: @mrdoob I’m still waiting for that one HTML5 piece which does not look like something done in Flash half a decade ago.
Just made a todo list of all the stuff I’ll have to do in September. I’m really looking forward to all of this! It’s going to be so cool!
@365psd Loads just fine :)
Did some server/site movement. Now I’m off to bed. The coming weeks will be so exciting!
Is actually thinking as providing this thing as a free download in the coming days… Should get some sleep though… It’s 5AM again…
Messing around a bit more with my latest project. Putting some finishing touches on it…
How many Flash Devs does it take to make a circle spin around its center? At least 2:1 idiot to make the mistake; another one to overlook it
Standing outside, near 2 unattended cars with running motors. Creepy. Cops should be here any minute.
Waking up. Feeling awkward and disoriented. See? That’s what coding does to you: it breaks your mind and turns you into a zombie-dude!
RT @tekkie: Whatever the HTML5 animations/demos out there, they all lag at some 75-80% CPU. This is not usable, the tech is immature. #html5
Let’s grab some breakfast and then go to bed. No, this is not Memento.
And now we wait. Again. (I’m eager to go home and sleeeeeeeep!)
Burning the CD. Who said anything about close calls?
Well, that sucks. Let’s wrap up… Hoping this will do.
That’s 3 hours of breaking my head on this bug. I just can’t let this go.
Can’t believe I’m spending another 2 hours on this minor (but annoying) bug. It seems I might fail this deadline…
I love it when I’m on a deadline and stuff breaks without me touching it.
Wow, it’s raining like crazy outside! Awesome! (as long as it stops around 8:15 tomorrow, I’m all okay with it…)
I’m so going to make a write-up about all the things I run into in Flex that (IMHO) make no sense. Can’t believe the stuff I’m running into.
Btw: Tracing to a Terminal window is hands down the best way of keeping track what’s going on in your SWF’s. No doubt possible.
At this point, I’m physically able to calculate faster than my computer. Everything seems to take ages right now…
Ah, I love Red5 and realtime multi user application development. It’s such a magical thing.
Btw: I just wasted 3 hours figuring that one out…
Well,don’t you EVER dare to use rtmp://hostname.local/App when trying to stream locally.Always use rtmp://127.0.0.1/App (Makes a difference)

@thomasheylen Da’s een refresh voor je Widget(als ge widgets aan’t bouwen zijt kunt ge ze op die manier refreshen om wijzigingen te zien;) )
Should get some sleep. Tomorrow will be an interesting day.
Actually… *today* will be interesting.
@abduzeedo try using a tool like camtwist. It simulates a webcam, but can show anything; be it an actual webcam or your desktop ;)
@thijswostyn kijk naar mijn tweet van derna. Had het antwoord vlak erna gevonden ;)
Some things just can’t be taught. Some things you can only learn by dedicating yourself and a big part of your life to it.
@Dauntless Oh damn, dude. You’re quick as a cat! Thx ;)
Nvm, i got it… [Inspectable] is the answer…
Hm, is there a way of getting autosuggestion in MXML for custom components? (like when you type ‘visible=’, it shows you ‘true’ and ‘false’)
The Flex framework is flawed on so many levels, I almost can’t believe it. The latest find? Tooltips are added at stagelevel. Right… WTF?
I’m not asking for a gazillion features. I just want a delightful user experience. Not one that makes me wanna kill myself.
One day, I’ll start killing software engineers. Seriously, we optimize our hardware at an increasing pace, but software just stays crappy.

Alright, all set up for this project. Let’s see if I still got it. But first: Dinner with the girlfriend!
… copy/paste project files to a new project (since the old project was dead all of a sudden) and publish! #fail
That was easy! Only needed to delete my Eclipse workspace, restart eclipse, redefine my Red5 debug server, …
Dear Eclipse, I have created at least 20 working Red5 projects over the past months. Either stick to the routine or fuck off.Yours sincerely
It takes an insane amount of dedication to get rid of old projects being published by Eclipse when trying to debug a new project.
@thomasheylen Is je app volledig geinstalleerd? Van waar probeer je te connecten naar die server? (denk aan crossdomain shit)?
@thomasheylen Ben je zeker dat je Red5 server draait? Valt makkelijk te testen door naar http://naamvanjeserver:5… te surfen.
@thomasheylen rtmp://ipvanjeserver/appname of rtmp://computernaam/appname (als dat je vraag is toch)
Awake and well. If I wouldn’t know any better,I’d say the weather looks great and all but the fact is: this is Belgium. It sucks by default.
@BeanedDream At least retweet my tweet, instead of posting as your own: (mine:http://bit.ly/bv06lN , yours: http://bit.ly/9NVQWR )

Quite a few smart #developerMovies out there. Funny!
safety Another heads-up: If you’ve received a DM promising you a free iPhone, that, like the iPad, indicates that your friends have been hacked.
If I see those disgusting hacks people need to use to do ‘something cool’ in HTML5/CSS3,I can’t help but wonder what they’re trying to proof
Well, at least there’s Coca Cola.
Shopping with @lyntje. And not the fun kind :(
Here’s for hoping I’m wrong…
Okay, so having to build something (which I know how) bores me. Getting myself into an impossible challenge works… Let’s create this!
The sun’s rising… Let’s get some sleep, alright?
There will be a burden. There will be pain. Your life will never be what it was supposed to be. But you’ll be proud. It’s your calling.
If you can’t go in deeper into the rabbit hole, you need to build a higher wall around it…
@venom_be It seems somebody/some service is abusing your Twitter account. http://shots.nocreativit…
Sometimes I just want to copy someone else’s status, word for word, and see if they don’t notice.
I always figured there’s something special about that LED RT @wirward RT @hackernewsbot: Apple’s attention to detail… http://bit.ly/9XiXxA
Okay, so to create this (http://bit.ly/9ozO6u) I had to write this (http://bit.ly/b8haru)… It physically hurts…
I’m not joking; it seems impossible to use text as a mask in Flex. It’s a 10-second job in Flash. How does this make sense?
@webdevotion Hm? This is not a button. Just a label, that needs a ‘gradient overlay’.
Is there a way to apply a mask to a label in Flex? (This but the other way around http://bit.ly/cw3QYH) <label><mask><graphic> doesn’t work
Hm, I’m intrigued by the rolling shutter concept… Got a few interesting ideas now… Experimenting with this next week!
@svenpeeters Awel,tis door de herexamens da’t me begon op te vallen. Veel mensen met vragen. Echter heb ik geen tijd tot na de herexamens :(
I’ll be making a series of video tutorials on #red5. Tell me what topics not to forget/what you want to see! http://bit.ly/bKWsAv
Well, I feel horrible! Great! All jokes aside, I blame the Belgian weather. Couldn’t be any worse…
Got a pretty cool idea for the coming weeks! Blogging about it tomorrow! Stay tuned!
Cool, I just discovered you can label loops in AS3! Didn’t know that! http://bit.ly/dBB8SP (via @mknol & @flashfocus)
I’m kinda lost: How does ‘social web’ and ‘invite-only’ make sense, again?
Going to wake up my girlfriend and bring her breakfast.
Waking up after a horrible night of stomach sickness. Feeling much better already, but still a little groggy… Fingers crossed.
@aral Good luck/enjoy, Aral! Have a good one!
Leaving for Koksijde. More road tripping!
Pretty sweet presentation of the Inception dreamscape: http://bit.ly/aqFv4L
I’m tired. Dead tired. In fact… I might just be dead all together.
It hurts so much.
Road tripping… Just a little bit.

@kyleward19 HAHAAAAA! Good point you’re making there. But for example: You consider this bad practice? http://bit.ly/df0KJ5
@kyleward19 Why is that?
And I’m awake again. I feel like having breakfast again.
My room is a mess. So am I. Finally getting some sleep now. Gnight.
kyleward19 Functions should do only “one thing”. #toptip #cleancode #unclebobmartin
That went pretty well! Hurray!!
Lost my headphones… Again..
Well, just had a little panic attack… Always run your stuff before callling it a day… UNIX file permissions almost screwed me over…
Btw: what’s wrong with exporting 1 swf, instead of this mess? Been wondering about this forever. http://bit.ly/96R12t
Closing Flash Builder after more than a week of coding. Takes ages…
Exporting release builds. I actually don’t like this.
I’m wondering: is there an easy way of using #AS3Signals in MXML? #flex
Awesome! RT @eXop: RT @regunus: Cewl :-D http://yfrog.com/5jyluuj
Even though you should alway try to keep stuff as simple as possible, it’s not wrong to keep a certain level of complexity (not much!)
Last reminder ;) RT @duivvv: #devine RMD2.. indienen zoals de vorige keer… DVD / CD ROM met virtual image + broncode afgeven..
Wow, I’m so used to doing stuff async, that I just don’t like the idea of doing something non-async anymore…
@lyntje Dit (http://bit.ly/c0bR4L) of dit (http://bit.ly/cP3xKG) mss? :p
Alright, we have a T-minus. Let’s get breakfast. Yes, breakfast. (You can frown all you want, it’s not going to change)
Let’s get some sleep. Goodnight world.
Coding at 7:32AM while being dead tired. Yes, I’m a Deviner again, at last.
Sunrise is FF0066! SWEET!
Whatever can’t be solved by complicated joins should be solved by simple sub-queries. Simplicity is awesome.
Wow, my SQL is rusty… Can’t even perform a basic INNER JOIN anymore… Kinda shocked there…
FYI: There’s no way in the world, anybody can create a Flex app that’s as fast, customizable and lightweight as any other Flash app #shootMe
Just a few more little things before I can wrap this up… Really turns out to be a cool project :)

Eating one of my girlfriend’s cupcakes while wondering how to tell a hostcomponent in Flex, to use a different focusSkin (from the skin)…
Okay, I’m kinda getting the hang of this Flex skinning stuff. I still don’t like it though.
@dimitrivh True, but they still seem a bit expensive right now ;)
Nothing annoys me more in life than the sound of a spinning/searching/writing hard drive.I tell you,SSD drives can not get here soon enough!
Most interesting. A PSD which yesterday still contained my whole application design is now empty. I wonder what happened.
Just came to realize I’ve been blogging on noCreativity.com for 2 years now… Sweet!
I am seriously starting to believe there’s something more than the scientific reality we see around us. Something spiritual… Somehow…
Oh wow. It’s amazing how a delighted guy can turn into a perfect jerk, just because he feels bad. Very uncool. I know.

This is one of those projects that turn out to create a cool product! Will definitely put this live once it’s ready!

I need to make sure it’s not raining before going outside wearing a tshirt. Rain is teaching me a lesson again.
Winner, winner! Chicken, dinner!

@joristimmerman I’m not replying at all. ‘No delivery at *address* ’ ;)
Just received a mail from a total stranger, explaining a problem he’s having with some tutorial. Am I supposed to just fix it for him now?

Out to grab some dinner, only to run into 2 gay men wearing some naughty leather suits. Whatever works for them, right?
I love cool features! I love real-time effects! I creating fun stuff! http://bit.ly/b3puYS
My gut feeling just doesn’t ever cease to amaze me. Once again, I realized I was right about something without knowing why…
AS3 Bitmapdata is my second love. No really, it is. I might just marry it one day.
Finally having fun: Bitmapdata manipulation in AS3. I feel relaxed. That’s how it’s supposed to be.
I am rebooting. Seems to take ages. I think I need to be reinstalled…
The obvious answer to ‘why’ would be ‘because I can’ - Me (when I had spare time to play around)

@Touvan Yea, I guess I’m in the same spot. Even though it requires a bit more work, I prefer to do it that way too.
Even though I’m getting the hang of it,I don’t like it. There. Anyway: Enough of this Flex ranting.Now off for a hot shower and some dinner!
Been doing Flex-skinning for 2 days now and I feel abused. I mean, I started doing this because I *love to create*… Not feel miserable.
To be honest, I can’t understand how people like Flex at all. I’m pretty sure it’s an opinion-thing, but I sure as hell don’t like it.
SourceMate (for FB4) is a great plugin, but 79$ is just too much IMO. Any similar snippet-helping plugins out there that might do the trick?
