I just realized how similar webcomics and the Mameshiba brand are. It came to me as I noticed that Octopus Pie is under a CC (By-NC-SA) license. I wondered how Meredith Gran made any money off of the comic, or how any webcomic artist made money. And then I realized that they're all Mameshibas.
I recently noticed that Adobe has updated its Flex SDK to version 4. Great, right? Turns out, we lost some features that I rather enjoyed. Like SVG embedding.
I own a netbook, and have had it for about nine months now. I figured it was time to give my impressions of it, and maybe a little explanation of what I do on it, and how.
I don't think this trick is all that special, but I've been told I should put it on the internets. ActionScript does not allow for private constructor functions, thereby preventing a pure implementation of the Singleton pattern. This is my way around it:
It turns out when you typecast an object as the interface it implements, you lose the fact that it's an object. What up, team ActionScript?
I know this trick is well documented already, but I figure the more it's out there, the easier it is to find.
This is seriously no way to run a business.
On January 15, I purchased an LG monitor from newegg.com. Excited at the prospect of a shiny new screen, I eagerly set it up as soon as it arrived.
Who doesn't love assassins? They're sneaky, they're stabby, and by god they can run from angry guards like nobody else. Well, perhaps like pansies.
The world seems to have died down a bit on exclaiming what they think of the iPad, presumably (finally) waiting until they get their hands on it to give more factual analyses. Not me, though.
