Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-02-21
- Bell TV Remote PVR app is available in the App Store now. http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/bell-tv-remote-pvr/id351782093?mt=8 #
- At Union Station in Toronto, waiting to hop a train to Ottawa. #
- Plug at my seat, nobody sitting next to me, internet through tethered iPhone. Not a bad way to travel. #
- There's something bizarre about browsing my home computer via tethered iPhone and VPN, from a moving train. #
- AIR app not loading images using filesystem paths? "c:\foo.jpg" works on Windows but you need to use "file:///foo.jpg" format on Mac. #flex #
- @travelmop file:// syntax works everywhere, stick to that one. And AIR lets you get things like the local roots portably. C:\ vs / in reply to travelmop #
- Tinkering with the fonts again on http://www.ottawaevents.org. Man that site is ugly. But it gets a lot of traffic. #
- (Doing web design on the train; I feel so hip). #
- Switched to http://www.instacomment.com from http://www.disqus.com. The Disqus comment box UI is just too big. #
- @travelmop Flash is sandboxed and runs in a browser. AIR apps you install and have local system access. in reply to travelmop #
- @travelmop AIR makes it easy to make cross-platform desktop apps (and now mobile phone apps that run on almost any phone). in reply to travelmop #
- @travelmop AIR and Flash share the same VM and language, ActionScript, which is ECMAScript (ie, JavaScript). in reply to travelmop #
- @travelmop Flex is a set of classes for building GUI type apps. It's all built on the ActionScript VM (AVM2). http://tinyurl.com/y889w83 in reply to travelmop #
- Watching http://stevex.net/bigtweet and folks talking about how bad we're doing. CAN vs SUI, shootout. #olympics #
- Street View data for Brantford is now online! #
- Hoping I can be at the PC Museum in Brantford this morning to see how @vintagepc is hooking a Vic 20 to Twitter. #
- Photoshop 1.0 was 20 years ago. I was an Amiga game dev at the time, and we were using Deluxe Paint before Photoshop existed. #
- I didn't know #Brantford had a sanitorium. http://tinyurl.com/y9xd89d Looks like townhouses. #
- Interesting sign.. http://tinyurl.com/y8pc8cj #Brantford #
