IM StreetScene-3D Interactive Location Views - What comes after Google’s Street View? As cool as that is, what if there was a way to have an interactive, 360°, full-motion video experience? Immersive Media gives you StreetScene, a very slick click/drag method for controlling your viewing. Have fun.

Simple Gesture Recognition in Flex - I played with this before Christmas one weekend and rediscovered it last week. Although it's nowhere near complete, it's an interesting exercise and may be useful to some.The test bed application allows users to enter the figures 0-9 via simple gestures. A gesture starts with a mouse down on a box and ends after the user has moused over several boxes and releases the button.The GesturePopUp class accepts an array collection of Gesture objects. In turn, each Gesture object contains an array that describes each position of that gesture. For example, the '1' character comprises of an array containing the

Edge of the Web conference, Perth 2008 - Awesome, I’ll be traveling over to Perth in November to attend the Edge of the Web conference. I’m going to do a regular conference session during the main conference (Nov 6) and will offer a 1/2 day workshop on the day after the main conference (Nov 7). The topic of the 1/2 day workshop on [...]Edge of the Web conference, Perth 2008 is a post from: Blog in Black

What’s wrong with those people and their animals :) ? - It seems some people I know and who are also more or less heavily involved in the Adobe community have a reasonably “different” relationship to (their) animals. Let’s start with Kay. Well known blogger, friend and co-worker of mine and a fellow Adobe Ambassador. Back in the days, she used to own a goat. Fair enough [...]What’s wrong with those people and their animals :) ? is a post from: Blog in Black

Best use of AIR so far? :) - I got this via Matt Voerman while having a Skype chat conversation with him. Desktop Keely seems to be very close to being the best use of the AIR technology so far, LOL. Having downloaded the “application” immediately after Mr. Voerman kindly pointed me to this excellent use of the platform, I started to study [...]Best use of AIR so far? :) is a post from: Blog in Black

Pilots have to sit here :-) - This is going to be one of the last entries for this year, I suppose. It’s a funny one, but also at least somewhat related to Flash and Flex *g* Air New Zealand have recently rebuilt their Frequent Flyer portal using Flex. That’s cool in general, I don’t like the way how particular things have been [...]Pilots have to sit here :-) is a post from: Blog in Black

Virtualizing OS X 10.5 Client on OS X 10.5 - With VMWare Fusion 2, VMWare has built support for installing the OS X 10.5 server operating system into the product. For various (I suppose licensing) reasons, VMWare Fusion 2 doesn’t allow one to install OS X 10.5 client – the setup wizard of Fusion would just not allow it. The technical reason is basically that Fusion [...]Virtualizing OS X 10.5 Client on OS X 10.5 is a post from: Blog in Black

Hightlighted borders in LiveCycle Designer - I came across a slightly weird issue the other day when building forms in LiveCycle Designer. LC forms offer the nice and simple feature of being able to create form elements that render highlighted in Reader or Acrobat Pro when mandatory. For whatever reason I had a few form elements in which the form element [...]Hightlighted borders in LiveCycle Designer is a post from: Blog in Black

Setting up preview for texlipse on OSX - And now for something completely different. When I’m doing writing, I usually try to use LaTeX whenever possible. If you have no idea what I’m talking about – have a look at the Wikipedia entry for LaTeX to get an overview. The 30,000 feet picture is that it’s a way to produce the most beautiful [...]Setting up preview for texlipse on OSX is a post from: Blog in Black

CF 8.0.1: Deleting a file after attaching it to an email - There’s a tiny, little new feature in CF 8 Updater 1 that I bet not many people even know about – I didn’t until yesterday. It came up during a discussion on cfaussie about attaching files to outgoing emails just the other day and it basically solves the problem of deleting a file after it [...]CF 8.0.1: Deleting a file after attaching it to an email is a post from: Blog in Black

The monitoring service is not available - If your CF8 installation starts without error, but returns an error 500 stating something like… “500 the monitoring service is not available” …on each request, then probably your neo-monitoring.xml is corrupt. This solution did the trick for me: -Rename or delete the corrupt {cf_dir}/lib/neo-monitoring.xml -Restart CF CF then creates a new neo-monitoring.xml, but totally refuses to work if this file [...]The monitoring service is not available is a post from: Blog in Black
