I had made the commitment a while back that I was going to add complete and perfect drag-and-drop support to jSeamless. The Flex Implementation proclaims support for DnD so I've just pushed off the investigation up until recently. However, now that I've come to implement this great functionality I…
Read more →Okay, so this probably doesn't par up to the JFK assassination, those crop circles, or how in the world John Locke can survive a bullet in the chest, but it's starting to really bother me. I developed jSeamless with the intent of "seamlessly" bringing technologies together to make life easier on the…
Read more →No, in a good way. 🙂 We've been working through a lot of stress testing at work for jSeamless to prove that it can stand up to an unreasonable load only exceeded by getting "slashdotted. We have faired quite well and we're currently working to get the document released for public "consumption".…
Read more →I generally post a message in my blog after I've already done it, but this time I'm trying something a bit different and posting the idea as a mechanism to draw it out. In my jCommon project I have Object Pooling support already, but it's explicitly limited to the pooling itself. While developing…
Read more →Yeah, I've done it again. I'm well known for reinventing the wheel and this is no exception. As I've previously mentioned I decided to write a Multiplayer Sudoku game that you can compete with other players online playing. Well, I sort of got stuck for a while on the puzzle generation. I hate the…
Read more →I've been trying to think of some good examples of jSeamless that wouldn't take too much time to write, but would show the power of jSeamless and some of its capabilities. To that end I've started developing a multiplayer Sudoku game. The puzzle is generated and displayed to all connected players.…
Read more →I have to present a prototype in a couple hours that is really important to my job and the company I work for. I think I'm pretty well prepared, but have been trying to go through any last minute details and bug fixes to make sure nothing breaks horribly well I'm demonstrating it. It's at...
Read more →Adobe Flex 2.01 is a very good framework and it is so much better than practically any other web-based UI framework in existence today, but there are so many bugs in the code and so many restrictions that are very difficult to get around I'm locked into a love and hate relationship with it. I'm...
Read more →I know that seems like a strange question to ask, but it's one I often ask myself. In many ways I've been extremely successful throughout my life, and it occurs to me that many of those successes were good successes, and many of them were bad successes. Most of the time it's easy to tell...
Read more →It saddens me these days to see so few programmers that question the way things are done and simply accept as the best way to do things what is considered to be the standard. I fear innovation is being lost in this generation of developers since instead of questioning and trying to make new and...
