TweetToday I played arround a little bit with the Flickr API in Actionscript 3. So far nothing special but I’ve managed to get some pictures on my stage with a little search box and enlarging the picture when clicking it’s thumb.

Tweet Eindopdracht Major Atelier II Na veel werk, veel zuchten en veel zweten is hij dan toch af. Ik geef toe dat hij niet perfect is maar ik ben wel tevreden met het resultaat! De opdracht was het maken van een fictieve theaterfestival site in Flash. Het moest een informatieve site zijn die de gebruiker een leuke gebruikerservaring moest meegeven (vandaar Flash). Ik heb dan ook gekozen voor “het casino” als plaats van het festival. Vervolgens heb ik proberen de stijl en het gevoel na te maken dat een casino oproept als je er aan denkt. Ik heb dit dan ook proberen in een ...
This is long overdue actually: I have built this 2 weeks before christmas but I didn’t find the time to create a short demo-movie or write about it. Anyway: This is my second real application I built with Titanium and I really loved doing this. Everything went smoothly. In fact: Once you get your head around Titanium, you can create so much cool stuff in so little time! Totally rockin’! I would love to post this on the app store, but as it turns out Apple doesn’t want people to publish self-promoting apps like this… So no portfolio app for you ...
This Friday I bought myself a ‘magic mouse’. I really think it’s worth the money! But… I found the capabilities a bit restricted. So I found ‘Magic Prefs’. This program gets way more out of your magic mouse! Pinky promise! It features the ability to bind a variable number of finger clicks, taps, swipes, pinch and other gestures to functions like Middle Click , Hold Down Both Mouse Buttons , Spaces , Expose, Dashboard , Recent Applications And now the good stuf! I wanted to buy a ‘apple remote’ too, so I could lay in bed while listening to music… turn up/down the music, ...
Today I had the time to figure out the CSS3 font-embedding, after a colleague said it might come in handy for a project I’m currently working on. It’s surprisingly easy to do & a huge step forward if you used to work with Cufon , … Or even used manually CSS image replacement. Let me show you what I’m talking about: CSS-CODE @font-face { font-family: FONTNAME; src: url('URL_TO_FONT.ttf'); url('URL_TO_FONT.eot) format("opentype"); /* IE */ } ELEMENT { font-family: FONTNAME; } @font-face { font-family: HarabaraHand; src: url('http://www.blog.thinkgraphical.be/wp-admin/fonts/HarabaraHand.ttf'), url('http://www.blog.thinkgraphical.be/wp-admin/fonts/HarabaraHand.eot') format("opentype"); /* IE */ } .embedFont { font-family: HarabaraHand; THE RESULT This is a CSS3 font-embedded-text. You should see a handwritten font. If you don’t see the handwritten font, UPDATE YOUR FREAKING BROWSER! Developers ...
Playing with physics is a fun experience. I gave players the chance to draw their own racepath. You have to catch all checkpoints in time. If you’re the fastest of all levels combined, you jumped to the top of the leaderboard! Race ‘89 – Game: http://student.devine.be/jarne.uytersprot/3DEV/OGP/AYBABTU/
I recently was given the school-assignment to create an iPhone app using Appcelerator Titanium. I initially wasn’t that fond about Titanium because, well…, it wasn’t the real deal. It’s not ‘actually‘ iPhone development. Soon however I changed my mind: Titanium is very powerful and has lots of potential and it uses the native components of the iPhone SDK. The only issue you have to deal with very closely right now (and which is very annoying) is the tiny team working on the project. Titanium Mobile has a huge userbase but only a few employees (20-30? Can’t find the source where ...
