Every once in awhile, I have to send out DMCA notices to people who have blatantly stolen our copyrighted materials. Generally, I skip emailing the offender directly (they usually are well aware of what they’ve done), and email the notice to their hosting provider, or the hosting provider’s bandwidth provider.
Today, I got a response from [...]

Mariokart Wii is a blast as a game. Three complaints about the online experience:
1. Friend codes suck. It’s a pain to use, hard to track down your own friends, and then after all is said and done, your friend code only applies to a single game title, so your Mariokart code won’t work with Smash [...]

Sometimes you just need to URL encode a string (URLEncodedFormat() in CF, or urlencode() in PHP), and not actually make a HTTP request. Here’s a simple library for you to use, that I wrote for my OAuth actionscript lib.
Attached is URLEncoding.as for your enjoyment.

Over the weekend, I wrote an actionscript library for client implementations of OAuth. It’s currently untested, but I’d love to see a few people help me keep it up to date & bug free, if anyone’s interested.

Someone in #flex was talking about how there were no good examples for doing uploads with Flex and ColdFusion. Sounded like an excellent topic to cover here. Now this example is a tiny bit more complex than previous examples, because I needed to cover two methods of functionality: single file uploads and multi-file uploads. Both processes are very similar, and in my code they actually share a method.

I’ve just realized that over the past 12 months I’ve gone Apple. It started innocently enough with a Juniper iTunes credit card and an iPhone on launch day last June. Then an Apple TV found it’s way into my home. Eventually, a MacBook and a Mac Pro followed suit.
I have to say I’m impressed with [...]

Yes, I’ve converted my blog over from BlogCFC to Wordpress. It was an easy enough process thanks to James Netherton’s migration code.
I also re-organized my posts and categories, slimming down the number of categories I have, and moving most of the metadata over to tags. Hopefully this will help keep things manageable.
Anyone have a good idea of [...]

So, after struggling with all other SVN clients, I’ve settled on a commercial product, Syncro SVN Client. It’s no TortoiseSVN, but it’s got all of the major SVN functionality, it works, and it’s stable. Combine that with the light bit of stuff that I do via Subclipse, and I’ve got all the SVN goodness I [...]

So I’m developing an AIR app, and experimenting with the EncryptedLocalStore features of AIR. I got to a point where I thought my code was solid, but I wanted to erase all the mistakes I’d created in my keychain. So, I went into Keychain Access, and deleted the keychain file that looked like it was [...]
