I use WordPress for this blog, and happy with it. But it’s not for everybody: you need a database, it’s very impressive, plugins, themes, users, comments, regular update, kinda geeky install and the default installment is 7.9 mb. And I needed a CMS for a small website/portfolio; it needs something small, not impressive (visually), easy [...]

My favorite open source project ever, FlashDevelop has released: FlashDevelop 3.0.0 RTM (English, 4MB) . I started with coding in the Flash IDE, when I realized that there are better programs to code in I started working with SE|PY (ActionScript 2 only). I really loved that program, but it never made it to ActionScript 3 [...]

Update #1: hmmmm, stupid but I write these post sometimes weeks ahead…. and this one caught up on me… The new version of SyntaxHighlighter Evolved has ActionScript support.. Update #2: I could remove everything below, but I’m keeping this here, perhaps someone can use it…. and it took some time to write, so I really [...]
I’ve been using a code-editor for years now. I started with SEPY and now I’m using FlashDevelop. Both on Windows. A colleague of mine still uses the Flash IDE (on a mac), so I decide to help him with his transition. Sadly there is no free editor for the OSX that handles AS2/AS3, but TextMate [...]

I said it before: I don’t like to regurgitate, but program is so good that I can’t help myself…. As we are now approaching the final release of FlashDevelop 3, this release is the last feature release. FlashDevelop.org – View topic – FlashDevelop 3.0.0 RC2 released. FlashDevelop is awesome! If you never used it, give [...]

Update #1: when I wrote this post, this all worked… And I have good hope that the site will return. For now I can only say: try again later…. Update #2: well the site didn’t return: it’s as dead as a doorknob … that’s too bad. I couldn’t find a place where you can download [...]
Most of the time you can download papercraft stuff in .JPG or .PDF, and I just realized that I never have written about .PDF. So here we go: I will only explain how to view a .PDF file, not how to create one. All pdf reader here are for free, if you need to pay [...]

I wanted to write about this for a long time (about a year now). A list of good, free graffiti fonts. But I’m not really into fonts, so it seems out-of-place on this blog. Recently I needed a good free graffiti font, and saw that there was nobody who had made that list. Well that’s [...]
Update #1: It seems that .setRGB () has been deprecated in favor of the flash.geom.ColorTransform class. So a little as2 update. In some cases I can’t help thinking that AS3 hasn’t made our live easier. The same happened with the change that happened from the AS2 setRGB to AS3. Specifies an RGB color for a [...]
