		<description><![CDATA[Another example of the little things that you learn when picking up a new framework: filenames for your CakePHP Models should be lowercase. For example, section.php and not Section.php. 
I&#8217;d been working on a small CMS for a friend&#8217;s site, and even though everything worked perfectly on my local MAMP install, when I uploaded it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Joseph and Kristen have been experimenting with their Canon T1i&#8217;s video lately. The MOV files don&#8217;t have native support on the PS3, so Joseph and I went digging for a way to convert them. The default PS3 setting in Handbrake resulted in unreadable files, so we experimented with a variety of things: custom recipes for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another classic case of finding things out the hard way: in ActionScript Event.ACTIVATE and Event.DEACTIVATE do not fire if the swf is embedded with wmode set to transparent. I was working on a project that needed to know when the user switched focus away from the swf, and couldn&#8217;t figure out why the event would [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This one has bugged me for a long time. During a project where things get passed from developer to developer or designer to designer things often get renamed to the same name, only with a different case. For example, myFlv_IN.flv becomes myFlv_in.flv. I used to think you had to move the files away, rename them, [...]]]></description>

1) You need to download the standalone Flex SDK, and point to that in the Core Libraries Settings (Preferences > FDT > Core Libraries > AS3 Core Libraries). If [...]]]></description>

It's a non-starter, because on the Mac the "SteelSeries" function key occupies the left-hand Alt/Option key position and can't be remapped. When ordering it I thought they had just put the SteelSeries logo over the standard Windows key. So I'm sending it back. Just for reference, the [...]]]></description>

Update 2008-05-06: Found the geekhack.org forums, which provided some nice feedback on different mechanical keyswitch models.

PLAIN TEXT
Actionscript:




var tmessage:String = "%26%23174%3B";


var _req:URLRequest = new URLRequest&#40;"mailto:?subject=hello&#38;body=" + tmessage&#41;;

Update 2007-02-18: Looks like the cutting and running is already in progress.

The corpulent lady has sung: Walmart is set to phase out HD-DVD players and media by June of this year. That's pretty much it for the home video prospects of the format, coming on the heels of similar announcements from Netflix and Best Buy [...]]]></description>
