TOKI WOKI. Blog

I'm still having a hard time believing what I'm about to write, but hopefully you will.

That was my intro, buddy.

A little bit of context

I listen to music, I try as hard as I can to be eclectic but let me confess that: I've always loved Hip-Hop. Of course my Hip-Hop heroes have changed through the years, but there's one that never left my inner podium... He's Canadian, he's weird (proof: he's worn a platypus shirt, once), he's probably the most subtle writer I know (OK, with Yoni Wolf) and he's evolving.

He's Buck 65. › Continue reading...

Meet Dok, my latest and nicest AIR app to this day!

Always looking for help when writing AS3 for Flash, Flex and AIR? Think Adobe's reference is rich but browsing it sucks? Well, I did too. So I wrote this little thingy that loads, parses and caches help pages and then presents them in a slick and quick UI!

WordPress' Shortcode API is a really cool thing, and since I'm working on a Drupal site these days I've been looking for something similar. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything... There are some implementations out there but the ones I found and tested always come pre-bundled with specific tags and don't always provide an extensible and stable logic.

So I made mine!

Happy new year, folks!

I've been looking for ideas for my 2010 greeting card and finally found what I was looking for. During the process I developed several iterations that didn't made the final cut, I selected two of them that are not that bad but not good enough for prime time!

The "ad" version

I wanted to try Flex 4 with a "real life" project so I wrote this little thing. Rough draft.

The app will allow you to monitor files changes: select a text file and you'll be prompted when it's updated. Basic. By the way, did I say "rough draft" before?

Everything in it is OpenSource, from the Illustrator files to the MXML and CSS stuff, so play with it! For those who only want the .air, here it is. › Continue reading...

Introducing Boks, my latest and most ambitious AIR app to this day!

Do you design web pages? Do you write HTML and CSS? Ever heard about the Grid System and Blueprint CSS? Thought it was a pain to implement? Think again, fool! › Continue reading...

A new project is online! It's called Kwot, and it allows you to share and store your favorite quotes.

The UI is quite minimalistic, with focus on simplicity. Navigate through quotes with your mouse wheel, your keyboard's left and right arrow or the mini timeline at the bottom. Add a quote by clicking on the plus button at the bottom right hand corner. If you don't pick any color they'll be automatically chosen via a magic algorithm! Another magic algorithm will rotate your quote in 3D space. But don't worry you will preview that in real-time, ha!

I might add user (login) support, language tagging, an RSS feed and stuff like that but don't expect that too soon, holidays are coming!

If you don't have the Flash plugin or if you visit the site on an iPhone the site will look quite different but everything will remain!

We've been working on this new version for about 9 months and now it's here. The URL hasn't changed, but the site has!

Let me show you what's new...
