funciton communications

Last week we had the need to test out flvtool2, flvtool++ and yamdi to see which one suited best for us. Today i thought it would be cool to show you a step by step on how to install them under Centos (the OS we use and recommend for servers).

I needed the ability to pause the Timer class we have in ActionScript3 so i created my own TimerAdv class which extends it. I tested it on the environment i needed so i'm posting it here for everyone to test it out. Hopefully if i get the chance to properly test it out it will be part of the inca framework.

UPDATE I found via a comment on this post that theres a solution for this same thing done with a very similar logic and older than mine. You can find it here . I didn't base my logic on that post but what a coincidence. I guess great minds think alike, huh?

I'm a nerd and so i like to play with code on my free time. Two days ago i went thru this post where there is a discussion on how to calculate the current week of the year. Here is my try:

Dear Apple, i'm your sincere fan. I own a couple of ipods, some laptops, spend sometimes too much on your app store on both of my iphones (1st gen and 2nd gen), scroll fast to the next story when i read someone blaiming your app store app approval process and recommend your products to the people i care most (family, friends and clients).

I'm writing you this post, cause i'm really sorry that one of your new partners are making me desire to go back in time and buy that nice black blackberry they offered me instead of your newly 3g white 16GB iphone.

I've been looking for the perfect email client for me since ever! One of the email clients that i have tried is Postbox .

There are lots of web services that offer link shortening. The tiny uid they create is what fascinates me. A google search didn't throw any good info so here it is an algorithm for you to use.

It always happens to me that while i'm watching a movie on netflix i get distracted by something else on my screen. I thought it would be cool if the movie only played back if i had my attention on it. Here is a quick test of how this could be implemented.

Is cloud hosting for me? This is the question i have been asking myself lately. Should I recommend my clients cloud hosting?

My thoughts on it after the break.

I think i have been using twitter for over two years now so i think i pretty much know it well.

But lately i have been bugged up with retweets. Here is a small "thinking out loud" about it. Please contribute!
