This post is a techy one, so if you don't write AIR apps or if you think this wouldn't be enough to show off during coffee break I recommend something funnier. › Continue reading...
Hey! I'm having a survey, wanna fill it?
Using Google Chrome? Using Meebo? Annoyed by the ad at the bottom and the blog window when you log in?
I just wrote and published my first Chrome Extension - Meebo Cleaner, to clean that up!
Pretty simple code, nothing revolutionary here. Go get it and let me know what you think, or if you have suggestions/ideas...
Facts
So the other day I had an hour to waste, I decided to learn how to use MooTools classes and, as the best way to learn something is to play with it, I played with it.
About 30 minutes after, I had something running. Dirty and buggy but still, looking cool. It took me an extra 30 minutes to clean that up, make sure it was working on most browsers, add the Google Analytics tracker, push it online and add it to the projects page...
You probably guessed it already, I'm talking about the Scroll Clock. Well this hour might be the least wasted one of my life. Think I'm radical? Read on! › Continue reading...
Introducing my latest project: TW Paper, a simple iPhone/iPod touch wallpaper gallery+collection.
I played with MooTools a bit and did that. Useless, opensource, nerdy.
I also set up a gallery, so if you've got nice scrollbars that aren't here yet, send' em right away!
I wanted to do this for quite some time: a place that logs tracks I listen to.
Introducing TWPlaylist! Thanks to Twitter and a Winamp Plugin, all tracks that I listen to (at work) are stored on a dummy account (if you know a plugin that does the same for iTunes, please let me know). And to keep things nice and smooth, I set up a quick page that pulls this data and displays it thanks to some AJAX magic... Tracks link to a Discogs search page to find more about them.
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...
Another script, a tool.
Qutter lets you cut anything on the stage without destroying it. Shapes, texts, images, groups and so on... Here's a video demo:
Grab the source, or go to its Scriptographer's page!
I initially did it to be able to cut images. You can't do it in Illustrator, or I missed something.
ps: Naming all my script with a Q at the beginning is probably not a good idea. I think this is going to be boring soon...
I've just been introduced to Scriptographer, this Illustrator plugin allows you to script actions (in JavaScript) in order to automate things, to raster bitmaps, to create tools or more.
Being a big Illustrator fan and knowing JavaScript quite well I've started playing with it a bit. It can be a little tricky when you're looking for documentation or when you're used to working with a flipped y-axis like in ActionScript but you can achieve nice things with only a few lines of code. › Continue reading...
