My Sponsored Child – Samson

Jeff — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 10:07:46 +0000

While still working at World Vision USA a few members of my team had the opportunity to go over and meet my sponsored child. It was such a cool feeling to watch video footage of my team members interacting with him and his family. I hope I can make it over there some day and [...]

My WordPress site was hacked, how can I recover?

Jeff — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 09:15:53 +0000

My blog went largely unused in the past few months which in turn caused me to be lazy about applying updates. (A big no no in the WordPress world.) Then a few weeks ago I got a wild hair to start writing again. Upon logging in I was greeted with this fun message: It turns [...]

Does the page fold matter?

Jeff — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 02:37:36 +0000

I know this topic has been discussed ad nauseum but sometimes I still get questions on it so I wanted to put this post together that I can refer people to. One of my favourite articles on the subject which has a lot of good information: Debunking the Myth of the Page Fold in Web [...]

Eastbay – the solution to outrageous shoe prices in Australia

Jeff — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 11:58:17 +0000

Melbourne retailers have been complaining of slumping sales in the industry but that is probably because of the outrageous pricing of items here. (This post focuses on shoes but most clothing, apparel etc is too expensive…) The internet is the great equalizer… You cant expect people to pay $200-250 for a pair of shoes that [...]

Remove WorkSpaces from Flash (Flex) Builder 4.5

Jeff — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 22:18:59 +0000

Flash Builder’s list of workspaces can get unwieldy after a few months of use. In order to delete them you need to modify the .settings file and remove the ones you dont want from the RECENT_WORKSPACES variable. The .settings file location changes based on your OS: Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Adobe Flash Builder 4.5\cascaded\308971\configuration\.settings OSX: [...]

Twitter ScreenNameMonitor (like TweetClaims)

Jeff — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 11:24:40 +0000

A LONG time ago I was browsing the tweetclaims site and thought it would make a good Flex/Twitter learning project. This has been sitting in my unfinished projects list and I finally got around to completing it. Basically it takes a list of usernames that you are looking to register and scans to see if [...]

I wanted to brag on the team I get to work with for a minute. We just launched the 40 Hour Famine Site and it was a beast of an effort. I had a few small parts including my first crack at character animation in flash (sign up and watch it), the photo upload functionality, [...]

AS3 Typewriter Text Effect

Jeff — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 08:30:45 +0000

I had a need to use a typewriter text effect to populate text in a textfield. This was easily solved with two lines of code using the Greensock SplitTextfield class. import com.greensock.TweenMax; import com.greensock.text.SplitTextField; import com.greensock.easing.*; var stf:SplitTextField = new SplitTextField(text_tf); TweenMax.allFrom(stf.textFields, .01, {alpha:0}, .1); You can still see the text fading in somewhat but [...]
