“Wow! This is so nice. I finish my 2 weeks work in a day”, was from a phrase of one happy e-mail we received long back during the early third quarter of the year 2004. The e-mail was from a client who doubles up as a Graphic UI Layout Designer. We did a JSFL command panel for chopping and resizing windows for a heavy windows intensive Enterprise Flash Application. Its basic function was to chop up a selected bitmap into desired slices of 3×3, 3×1, 1×3 according to the type of windows our code was to apply resizing to graphically themed windows.
Splice9
What does it do?
Splice9 crops a selected bitmap into 9 pieces and put them inside a MovieClip. Once the cropping is done, it creates assets (movieclips of 9 pieces) in library with a linkage name in a folder named Splice9 and brings the MovieClip to the stage and
- names those instances,
- create layers,
- writes required actionscript,
- saves the file,
- publishes it.
And what you get a ready-made resizeable window!

The other day, I went to watch the biopic of Howard Hughes, the Aviator. Well, learnt that Mr. Hughes is one hell of a guy; leaving aside his sorta super-sensitive craziness part. He shoots his film “Hell’s Angels” for over 4 years and few of the airplane fight scenes himself from an airplane.
The funny and cool …

This weekend, I had nothing better to do, so as usual I blame it on the Music Store. While looking for some new tracks, my eyes froze on an old Album Hell Freezes Over (1994). Here are some of the Lyrics

The reverse domain naming convention is very unique. This becomes more prominent if we are to distribute our codes, work within a team of developers.

I never thought that something that would come up against my going to the ‘MXDU 2005′ would be a VISA issue. I have been debarred from entering Australia questioning the authenticity of my purpose of visit. The Australian Consulate believes that my pupose of visit Australia to speak at the conference is not genuine. All this inspite submitting the VISA application twice, submitting all paperworks, and the MXDU organizers faxing, calling up the Australian Consulate in New Delhi, India.
The refusal letter states, “You have not provided acceptable evidence of invitation from Australia. You seem to have few strong family commitments or other obvious incentive to return to your country of usual residence.“

Today, I received a mail and I read it totally, properly because it looked pretty much like a project proposal initiation. But I realize it is another, a bit cleverer, way of that will-make-you-a-billionnaire mails which tried to fool you into sending them some small amount to get the big amount.

Let me bookmark this and echo it on my site too. It is a nice article indeed. Read An interview with a Link Spammer.
