Okay- this is a pure rant with nothing of value to anyone but myself. I’ve been using an M-Audio Delta Audiophile 2496 for years now in 32-bit systems: both Windows XP and Vista. This is a great card- massive clarity above anything else I’ve ever tried. I’ve produced a ton of projects off of this …
Now that Halloween is over, I’d like to make this information more widely available: AN EARLY MORNING LETTER, DISPLACED presents ‘Alice‘ – a free download made especially for Hallowe’en. This composition, nearly 8 minutes in length, is partially inspired by the Švankmajer film from which many of the incidental noises have been sampled. Both atmospheric …
I had posted earlier concerning a strange issue with Flash Player 10 where the SWF would refuse to load if being served over a Java servlet. We’ve been able to resolve the issue by explicitly transferring any SWF content with a “Content-Disposition” header of “inline” as suggested by Adobe. The relevant portion of this document …
This is the first time posting something of this nature- I do so hoping that someone will stumble upon it and be moved to make a donation. Tara and Mike of Lycia are participating in the JDRF’s Walk to Cure Diabetes on November 1st and it would be super if more people could make a …
It seems a lot has changed from the release candidates to the final version- a lot of things people did not expect. For instance, last minute surprise changes to the Sound API… and then the previously announced security changes that Adobe has, in fairness, warned us about since Flash Player 9. I’ve stumbled across something …
So, we have both Flash Player 10 final (10.0.12.36) released today on top of the CS4 products shipping. We also finally see Flash Player 9 bundled with the newest Playstation 3 update (2.50). Flash Player 10 Do I really need to write anything here? Native 3D, Custom Filter Effects, Dynamic Sound Generation, Fullscreen Keyboard Support, …
I’ve never found the need to have HTML links in Flex behave (and look) like their true HTML counterparts, but a student recently asked how she could get HTML links defined in a Text control to behave like regular HTML links. After digging around, I found a lot of references to this problem but the …
Sonar 8 was released a few weeks ago. Being in the middle of a project at the time, I’ve had a good week or so to check out some of the new features. Here are some things I like: SONAR Performance Optimizations How can you not like this? I haven’t had a huge problem with …
The topic of my presentation will be on the DUVAGA Projection System [VPS] and will cover why AIR was chosen as the platform for this application, the development period, and usage. I hope to include slides, code overview, and demos. It’ll be a fast and furious 30 minutes! Anyone interested in an overview of Flex-based …
I had heard about a security concern over Amazon’s video streaming service a few days ago with a lot of people (including some at Amazon) blaming Adobe for the security hole. Apparently, there is an exploit in their (Amazons) player that allows stream-ripping a full video. I’ve read the documentation on FMS3 security features and …
First, let me say that I absolutely love working in Adobe Premiere Pro. The interface is clean and snappy- I can get things done in an organized way without a ton of fuss. Now with batch export through Adobe Media Encoder in CS4, it’s just a real, genuine pleasure to work with. Now, I also …
A few weeks ago, I posted the following letter to this weblog as a note of departure. I’ve since decided that it was a poor choice, and have re-instated it here, at this new address. I post the letter here for personal, historical reasons. There is quite a bit of content that was lost in …
