BetaDesigns( Blog ).toString( );

Just in case anyone was having as much trouble as me installing one of the above languages onto their UK Blackberry I thought i would post this very useful link.

I have been looking into bits, bytes and bit shifting a lot recently so I thought I would quickly make a small binary clock to help burn it into my mind. In addition it also gave me the chance to experiment with the spark skinning. Below is the result. Not pretty I know but thats what the skinning is for.

I thought that I would just write a quick note on how I know which version of an application I am looking at when it has been published to the web. It's all well and good saying its revision 87 from svn but how do you know? Well a simple way is to add it to the Flashplayers custom context menu. Right click to see the custom menu and to view the source (more...)

Yesterday the powers that be decided to send me on a course by Rob Bateman all about building 3D websites. I had the opportunity to meet Rob on Tuesday at the PokerCoder event held by Adobe. As some of you may or may not know I have previously worked on projects using Papervision3D in the past, However I haven't really had the chance to pick it up in the last couple of months since starting at LBi so I was looking forward to getting back into it. The most interesting part for me was the introduction of Away3D I hadn't heard of this engine before and I was very impressed with it. In addition Rob did a great job with explaining the way in which 3D environments work in ActionScript. In addition this was all backed up by 36 example applications!

週末以外毎日、古い試験紙をできるつもりです！ここ点とパーセントを書いています。

今年、二級日本語能力試験を出来たいから、毎週、日本語でブログを書いてつもりです。僕は日本語で上手じゃないから、練習したいですね。頑張りましょう。二百一日の後、試験の日です。

I have recently taken a new job as a Flex Developer at LBi in London so i have decided to throw away the old BetaDesigns blog and start a fresh. I have been at LBi for nearly a month and a half now and i am really enjoying it, I have already had the opportunity to work with some big companies building Components and full Applications. As some of you may or may not know I am a big fan of component driven development so I am going to be using this blog to post open source components that i build along the way. Hopefully some of my post and components will be of some use to someone.
