2nd grade lesson

It's been more than fifty years since Georges Braque lent Henri Cartier-Bresson a small volume called Zen in the Art of Archery by Eugen Herrigel. Although ostensibly a guide to spritual practice, Cartier-Bresson recognized the book for what it was. "It's a manual of photography," Cartier- Bresson told Braque, already well on his way to becoming a zen master of the candid moment, the sort of chap who says under his lens, "I don't take photographs. It is the photograph which has to take me."

Silverlight applications that run outside the browser are commonly referred to as out-of-browser applications, or OOBs for short.

Flash loader and flash web development

Though often used interchangeably, the concept of loader and preloader in flash scripting are not one and the same thing.

The spline is parameterized on chord-length.  Each knot is mapped into [0,1] based on the fracti

Mostly because, well, like most writers, you can give me a lead time stretching into infinity and beyond and I'll still wait until the last minute to start an assignment.

This is the only cross-platform IDE in this list. 2. SapphireSteel Amethyst : A few days ago, the Beta 3 version

For the soft-delete impaired, a quick introduction. Soft-deletes are row deletes which are not really happening: instead of removing the row from the database table, a field in the row is set to a value which signals that the row is officially 'deleted'.

Making extension methods amenable to mocking

The question of how to mock extension methods comes up frequently enough that I though I might give my opinion and solution to it (which does NOT include using TypeMock ;)). A first differentiator is whether you control the definition of the extension methods or not. The latter case would be, for example, the built-in Linq extension methods (First, Count, etc. on IEnumerable) and there's no way to mock them unless you use TypeMock. The former would be your own logic that you decide to p

Software Consulting Customer's Bill of Rights

Cropper now works on Vista x64 - new release posted today

Brian Scott made me a committer on the Cropper open source project, so I have committed a fix for Vista x64 and made an incremental release that contains this fix. With Cropper 1.9.1, Cropper would run as a .Net Framework x64 application, but because some of the necessary libraries are Win32 libraries, the utility would crash when used on Vista x64. The fix for this problem is to tell .Net that this needs to be a .Net Framework x86 application since it depends on Win32 APIs. For those who have.

Last July, I blogged about an IronRuby ASP.NET MVC prototype Levi and I put together with John Lam and Jimmy Schementi of the DLR team. It was really rough around the edges (and still is!)

This had the n

Scale WCF Application Better with Asynchronous Programming

WCF is a framework that is asynchronous inside out. Internally, asynchronous patterns are used to achieve non-blocking calls between different layers inside WCF. Externally WCF exposes the asynchronous patterns for both client and service programming. Why Asynchronous Pattern? From performance perspective, its not always ideal to use asynchronous programming if you dont have to. Any asynchronous pattern involves at least some thread switches and thus causes delays to requests. So you should not

How to Improve Poor Aeration in Soil

by John HowardPoor aeration can also be due to restricted flow of air from the atmosphere into soil pores. Most of the gaseous interchange with the atmosphere occurs through diffusion, which is hampered by a lack of macro pores in the soil. On heavily textured top soils and in compact sub soils, the rate of gaseous movement is particularly slow.Some chemical fertilizers harden the soil and reduce aeration. Nitrate of soda is a typical offender. In yearly applications of this fertilizer, plants u

I was recently helping a colleague squash a bug that had popped up on a page that involved a DropDownList. Specifically, an HttpException was being thrown with the error message Cannot have multiple items selected in a DropDownList. This exception is raised, as the message notes, if a DropDownList contains multiple ListItems whose Selected properties are set to true. The page in question had a DropDownList whose values were populated from a web service on the first page load. Shortly after this

How to upgrade Atom 0.3 feeds on the fly with a custom XmlReader for use with WCF Syndication APIs

Even now that Atom 1.0 has been approved and official for some time, there's a feed every now and then that still uses Atom 0.3 (i.e. Google News! http://news.google.com/?ned=us&topic=w&output=atom). The .NET APIs for feeds, System.ServiceModel.Syndication, handles RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0 fine, and you just have to make a single call to load a feed regardless of its format: SyndicationFeed.Load(xmlReader); I searched the web looking for an easy answer, but I couldn't find any that would let

Take Charge of Your Security

Today I read something where someone was comparing Web Forms to ASP.NET MVC and suggested that Web Forms does a lot more than ASP.NET MVC to protect your site from malicious attacks. One example cited was that Server controls automatically handled HTML encoding so you dont have to really think about it. The idea here is that Web Forms automatically protects you from XSS attacks. My friends, Im afraid this is just not true. Take a look at the following page code.

If the redirect incorporates some input from the user, then this pattern is expanded to include the addition o

Almost every member of the original Winamp development team have left Nullsoft by now and not a lot of

A marijuana high usually lasts two or three hours, during which a wide range of effects may occur, varying both in intensity and quality. The usual, most noticeable effect is intensification of sensation and increased clarity of perception. Visually, COLOURS are brighter, scenes have more depth, patterns are more evident, and figure-ground relations both more distinct and more easily reversible.

Finally an FLV editor: RichFLV

I had a situation where I needed to edit an FLV today. And went searching for an application to edit this common file format. It seems that the only FLV editor on the planet is written in Flex using Adobe AIR. I am really impressed by the application and I actually think it is one of the best AIR applications I have used. It is a simple utility and gives you direct binary editability into an FLV file. You can inject and edit FLV metadata and crop at any FLV keyframe. RICHFLV AIR Hats off

Running on AIR: 10 great office apps you can grab right now

"What's curious is that the mainstream population hasn't fully latched onto the AIR concept quite yet," said Ronald Schmelzer, a senior analyst at ZapThink. "There aren't as many AIR-based enterprise applications as there should be. Perhaps it's just the complexities of introducing a new language, as well as a development paradigm. Adobe has huge in-roads with the creative part, but not as much with enterprise application developers."

Chrome Pushes for a Standards Based Web - a Challenge to Silverlight and Flash [Best of Sept. '08 #1]

There was some discussion this week about which products and technologies are really threatened by Google Chrome.

How Should Journalists Cover Basic Medical Research?

The average drug takes 24 years to develop. So what should journalists do for the first 23 years? That figure comes from an analysis of 101 "very promising claims of new discoveries with clear clinical potential" made between 1979 and 1983. None hit the market before 2003, and 96 of the claims never made it that far. Published today in Science by Institute for Clinical Research and Health Policy Studies, the analysis poses a dilemma for me. Promising new drugs -- first their discovery, a

Posting New Contents Daily Keeps Search Engines Happy

If you have a new wordpress blog (or any kind of website in fact), posting new content daily is a must. What makes wordpress unique is the fact that whenever you publish a new post, a ping is sent to the search engines and some blog aggregators service such as feedburner and technorati. A ping lets them know there are new contents and essentially invites them to come and pay your blog a visit, which is what you want. For a new blog, these pings that are sent out are invavluable.

In light of the last day and a half revelations and discussions about Google's Chrome browser, I've been thinking about comparisons of technological shifts in the past and how empowering tools sparked innovation, creativity, and new businesses. In the late 1980's, I was the proud owner of a Macintosh SE/30, a Laserwriter printer, and a copy of Aldus Pagemaker. The desktop publishing (DTP) revolution was in full swing, based in no small measure to the brilliance John Warnock and Chuck Geschke

SPOTLIGHT ON: Adobe adds new AIR VoIP application

Adobe's new AIR app will be more convenient to flashphone users who do not want their VoIP program to be browser-based. After downloading AIR, they can use the softphone, but also downsize it to the system tray to receive incoming calls while browsing other things. This process ensures users can verify their online status while keeping the softphone open. Adobe opened up a comment page on its website, and put an open call out to users to suggest improvements and give feedback to improve the new

AIR Support

When Andre went on the final leg of the Adobe AIR tour back in the spring I needed to build a nice Ajax + AIR demo for him. Ultimately I had to drop the project and Andre went without. The main reason that I decided not to build the application was due to frustrations with building HTML / Ajax apps in AIR - though I had previously built several successful HTML / Ajax AIR apps in the beta versions of the AIR runtime. This was the first real application that I had tried to build since the Beta 1
