Attensa RSS Readers
Attensa looks quite cool, I'll give it a try. ;-)

Thunderbird - Email and RSS
But there is also Thunderbird which could be used as RSS Reader. And with IMAP supported by Gmail this is another option. On the other hand on my Macs I'll use the included native tools - a +1 for Attensa?

Flex and Mac tools

2007-10-31 by Marcel Lüthi

Flare is a collection of ActionScript 3 classes for building a wide variety of interactive visualizations.
http://flare.prefuse.org/

The demo is really cool and remind me of those two libs:

Visual Graph
http://code.google.com/p/flexvizgraphlib/

SpringGraph Flex Component
http://mark-shepherd.com/

I just noticed that I never revealed Adobe's Flex Exchange. Certainly one of the best places to find a component or code:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=productHome&exc=15&loc=en_us

Anthracite Web Mining Desktop from Metafy is a so called "web mining desktop toolkit".
Cool Mac app - and I always said that those kind of graphical apps are the right way to go.
http://www.metafy.com/index.html

Ted Leung shares some Macintosh Tips and Tricks
http://www.sauria.com/blog/mac-tips-and-tricks/

Smultron is a simple and free text editor which I started using on my new iMac:
http://smultron.sourceforge.net/

I have a lot of books and documentation in Microsoft's CHM format.
Using this on a Mac is (unfortunately) not directly supported. But there is xCHM:
http://xchm.sourceforge.net/

So, time to go to bed... ;-)

New Flex stuff - and a small utility

2007-10-30 by Marcel Lüthi

When you need it - you need it! :-)
FullScreen using ContextMenu

Yet another great Flex example...
Passing parameters to an HTTPService

Generating PDF in a Flex application is often a must - users still want to have the information on dead trees.
AlivePDF is an AS3 PDF generation library for Adobe Flash, Flex and AIR.

Back from holiday

2007-10-28 by Marcel Lüthi

So, being back from holiday, I discovered a loooot of new and interesting stuff.

WebRunner is a simple XULRunner based browser that hosts web applications without the normal web browser user interface.
http://wiki.mozilla.org/WebRunner

Here are the standard bundles:

Gmail
Google Calendar
Google Docs
Google Groups
Google Analytics
Google Reader

There are already some user contributed bundles:

Chandler
32 online todo lists
Yahoo! Mail
Meebo
Bloglines
Google Page Creator
Google Webmaster Tools
Miro Guide
BBC Radio Player
Weightwatcher Plan Manager
ESPN Radio
Rsizr Image Editor
Flash Earth

But just some days ago Mozilla Labs took WebRunner and started a new project called Prism.
It's unlike Adobe AIR and Microsoft Silverlight not based on a "proprietary platform" - instead they try to accomplish generally the same ideas with the use of the ol' XUL Runner.
http://labs.mozilla.com/2007/10/prism/

Of course AIR can easily do the same things as Prism. This article here explains how to incorporate HTML-based applications using the WebKit browser engine.
AIR articles: Using HTML in Flex-based Adobe AIR Applications
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/AIR:Articles:Using_HTML_in_Flex-based_Apollo_Applications

The list of Adobe AIR applications is constantly growing.
See:
http://www.o2apps.com/
or

Adobe AIR and Flex - Getting Started
http://blog.paranoidferret.com/index.php/2007/10/09/adobe-air-and-flex-getting-started/

Yahoo! Tech Group: Flex Component Development
The group is focused on creation and development of Flex components.
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcomponents/

The "BK Flex" blog has a nice list of Flex Resources :
http://bkflex.wordpress.com/flex-resources/

Flex Cookbook has two new (and for me interesting) entries:
Creating a box with rounded corners
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/communityengine/index.cfm?event=showdetails&productId=2&postId=6203

Gradient Box
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/communityengine/index.cfm?event=showdetails&productId=2&postId=6222

Flex Components in a Box is kind of CPAN for Flex:
http://flexbox.mrinalwadhwa.com/

Google's Web 2.0 search playpen, SearchMash, now has a Flash version:
http://www.searchmash.com/flash/search

And there was also some stuff happening in Python land...

This Django Screencasts gives a nice insight to Django development:
http://blog.michaeltrier.com/screencasts

Django: Connecting To Oracle Directly (Without settings.py)
http://blog.awarelabs.com/?p=24

IPython tab completion fix on Leopard:
http://www.osxautomation.com/2007/10/26/ipython-tab-completion-fix-on-leopard/

Other things I visited in the last few hours...

List of Firefox Search Engine Plugins:
http://mycroft.mozdev.org/

CouchDB
http://couchdb.org/CouchDB/CouchDBWeb.nsf/Home?OpenForm

Mac-TV

That's all for now folks...
... now I have to install Leopard on my new iMac!
Stay tuned!

Mixed Pickles

2007-10-16 by Marcel Lüthi

The latest Python Cookbook entry covers a "List wrapper for generators (indexable, subscriptable)".
This is really handy stuff:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/534114

Peter Ent describes how to write a Flex component from the ground-up.
The component I've chosen I call a cycle-select button. This component shows a single entry from a dataProvider along with two arrows in a circle. When you select the button the arrow rotates a bit and the next value in the dataProvider is displayed. Think of it as a ComboBox with no drop-list.
http://weblogs.macromedia.com/pent/archives/2007/10/component_class.cfm

And now, last but certainly not least, Leopard is officially announced!
Mac OS X 10.5 will be released on October 26th:
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/97471

I'm really looking forward to have this on my machine!
Christmas in October - yeah!

This is really useful stuff!

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/743

Flex is on its way

2007-10-14 by Marcel Lüthi

The Flex Interface Guide is the source for designing the cool UIs...
There are now 3 nice sample components: Callout, Paged Lists and Pan and Zoom:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/?navID=fig

Even more links

2007-10-12 by Marcel Lüthi

Aptana crossed my way in the last few days a lot.
Maybe I should give it a try?
http://blog.flashgen.com/2007/10/12/flex-builder-aptana-and-air/

A "new way" to make and manage web sites is Alahup!
http://www.alahup.net/
OK, it reminds me in certain aspects on the impressive ZMS:
http://www.zms-publishing.com/index_eng.html

My colleague Mike showed me lexiCan which is a knowledge management software:
http://www.lexican.de/Default.aspx
Especially interesting is the ordering of the terms with its parent and child relationships.
Worth a look!

I'm back!

by Marcel Lüthi

After a long blog hiatus (I was very busy with my main project) I'm back to finally use my blog.
So here are some interesting links...

After more than 25 years - when I had a subscription to it, I rediscovered Dr. Dobbs Journal:
http://www.ddj.com/currentIssuePage.html

They're having in the current issue an introduction to Adobe AIR.
I have to read this to make a good case for it:
http://www.ddj.com/architect/202401085

User experience is something very important! That's why I love my Mac. ;-)
This post makes a good point in how to achieve this:
http://www.arpitonline.com/blog/?p=91

That's all for now, folks.
