Mon, 23 Mar 2009 14:10:07 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en About a year or more ago - I remember reading about this pretty kick-ass UML editing tool called Saffron. Now, and it seems to have been like this for at least 4-5 months - I am unable to find anything that talks about it becoming a reality. Well, that's a disappointment. It ... http://www.stevenhargrove.com/where-is-saffron-uml/ I've been checking out the details on this new contest called The 25-Line Actionscript Contest. Looks like it could be pretty fun. Besides the fact that Adobe is sponsoring some pretty decent prizes for the contest - you will have the chance to show off some of your 1337 coding skills. ... http://www.stevenhargrove.com/25line-as3-contest/ See now, this is the sort of stuff that really bugs me about the Flash IDE sometimes. Now personally, I don't care about the IDE actionscript panel all that much. I regularly use FlashDevelop as my primary edtior. The way I see it - is that this is somewhat of a cop-out ... http://www.stevenhargrove.com/flashcs4-as-panel-sucks/ Wow, I'm starting to wonder if somebody at the office I work in writes this stuff... From: businessguysonbusinesstrips.com http://www.stevenhargrove.com/close-to-home/ This article is intended to help you understand web page redirection and some of the technologies involved with doing so.

Or if you are anxious for code samples on redirecting your page, then please reference this article: How ... http://www.stevenhargrove.com/understanding-redirection/ Well, not really "new". At all... lol. My buddy sent me this screen shot and thought it was worth posting. If you haven't played this yet, then that's you're problem. http://www.stevenhargrove.com/team-fortress-ftw/ This may be near the top of the most ridiculous articles I've read in a while. So ridiculous, in fact -- That it has encouraged me to post about it. So, according to Matthew Garrett, disabling your flash player will help you save lots of energy, so disable it! He complains that ... http://www.stevenhargrove.com/go-green-disable-flash-player/ Well, I've been fooling around with papervision for a while now. Sure enough, I've completed my first project with it. The goal was to replace the old portfolio display/home page that my employer, Biggs Gilmore previously had. We wanted to use papervision with the goal in mind to really step it ... http://www.stevenhargrove.com/my-first-papervision3d-project/ Formally known as "SWFfix", SWFObject 2.0 beta 1 has just been released. At first I was concerned that the confusion about the original SWFObject and this new SWFObject (formally SWFfix). But after all, it doesn't really matter. What matters is that SWFObject 2.0 is now much better and on the road ... http://www.stevenhargrove.com/swfobject-beta1-released/ Well, I attended the Adobe AIR bus tour in Chicago.

He talked about a lot of different ideas and uses of ... http://www.stevenhargrove.com/adobe-air-bus-chicago/ Wow. Frustrating. For the past 3 months I was under the assumption that my FlashTracer Firefox plugin just stopped working due to firefox updates. I was right, and wrong. I guess? It just kind of disappeared and wouldn't show up again under the "Tools" menu item in firefox. No matter how many ... http://www.stevenhargrove.com/fixed-flashtracer-finally/ I had a really good time. Ranging from building Red5 apps, to designer/developer workflow stuff, all the way to papervision3d stuff. Kicked ass. Still kind of looking on flickr for some relevant pictures of how i remember things, will post when i find! Nuff said. http://www.stevenhargrove.com/well-flashforward-was-fun/ Well, *cough* another extended period without posting. I've been super busy! I will be attending the Flashforward Boston conference next week, my first time to go, I'm excited! I intend on being a sponge in the area of flash developer/design work flows & AS2-AS3 transitioning in particular. Here's my schedule: Day One: Day Two: Day Three: w00t! http://www.stevenhargrove.com/flashforward-2007-boston/ This has pretty much been a far-fetched concept that I have been wanting to see done with flash for a long time. In AS2, it is pretty much not even worth trying, But this beautiful flash 3D demo by John Grden demonstrates the potential for the future of 3D and ... http://www.stevenhargrove.com/flash-in-3d/ Well, after recent events on here I went ahead and upgraded the blog to wordpress 2.1. Everything looks great so far, no complaints. But I surely would appreciate a wide range of features that don't exist in it yet. But thats alright. I'm impressed on how much better the admin handles.

I have been planning to do this for roughly 2 years now. So I finally saved up and took the leap. Here are the specs: Case: Silverstone TJ09 Motherboard: Intel Bad Axe 2 (LOVE this!!)
