Shorthand Vector

Ted — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 15:59:48 +0000

Short tip for fellow devs, it seems that old Flash CS4 has a problem compiling one of it's own language features. There's this cool shorthand for writing a Vector

var v:Vector. = new [];

However this yields error

invalid xml name

Either stay away from compiling with Flash IDE at all (which would make you a happier human), or compile with Flash CS5 and onwards.

Server POST request magically transformed to GET

Ted — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 07:50:02 +0000

Spent quite some time trying to figure out why all my POST requests ended up as GET requests on the server.

Luckily I found the answer at Stackoverflow. which reminded me of the dumb rewrite rule i had set on my server.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^lazylady.se
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.lazylady.se/$1 [R=301,L]

This effectively rewrites all "lazylady.se" requests to "www.lazylady.se". To remedy the problem remove the rewrite rule from the server's root .htaccess.

I’ve made a little Mac utility application that helps out with the daunting work of handling large chunks of rar files when unpacking stuff such as a full season of a TV series.

Just updated the look of this not-well-managed blog. However my intention is to change that so let me know if anything out of the ordinary shows up.

Oooh, it’s unbelievable a new post on the blog. Happy, happy, joy, joy! And just to celebrate I’ll explore HTML5 pixel pushing instead of Flash, far out!
