Add JavaScript Generated Text to a Div with an Array and For Loop
If you’re here to learn about JavaScript, I am assuming you know basic HTML and some (minimal) programming experience. We are going to create an array in JavaScript and will use a for loop to output the generated text into a div. Read the rest of this entry »
Aion Flash Twitter Widget v1.0
I am working on a more robust flash application for a final project in my AS3 class this semester, but I figured I’d test the waters with one of the many features my project includes – Twitter. I have had a Twitter account for over a year, but only recently got back into it, all thanks to the folks at Aion. Now I’m hooked… thanks guys.
Anyways, thanks to a tutorial found here, Creating a Twitter Widget in Flash, I was able to import Tweets into Flash (never done this type of thing before). I whipped this up in a few hours this afternoon and thought I’d share it with everyone and ask for any feedback. Now granted, this is a very very basic widget, so please keep that in mind. I might expand on this if I get enough people yelling at me.
Features that I will add in final project (and this one):
- pictures (avatars)
- drop down for name selection
- date of post
- make urls linkable
Also, clicking on the Shugo will take you to the currently active Twitter feed owner.
Add the following code to your site or blog:
<object style="width: 200px; height: 600px;" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="200" height="600" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.daraberry.com/aion-mini-portal/aion-twitter.swf" /><param name="align" value="right" /><param name="hspace" value="10" /><embed style="width: 200px; height: 600px;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="200" height="600" src="http://www.daraberry.com/aion-mini-portal/aion-twitter.swf"></embed></object>

And all I got were these two awesome characters!

Can Not Connect to Server
This was an issue I ran across a few weeks back, and took me half a day to figure out, while looking stupid for my contractor. Basically, when I went to a certain address, it brought up a can not connect to server error. I can connect to any site on the internet, but not this one.
I could not connect though a web browser or my FTP software. I tried through all my browsers and though 4 computers with 3 different OS on my home network and not one of them could open this page. Of course, this made me look like a moron when I asked my contractor if their server was up. But anways… Read the rest of this entry »
print(”Hello, world!”);
Finally, a blog I can post my randomness on, instead of going “MAN, I need to blog about this, the world must know!” That happens way too much than I’d like to admit recently, and I had a few moments to create one after creating all new passwords for my databases to satisfy my paranoid side.
