Several days ago I got a weird authentication error at EventBox trying to connect to reader.google.com. Apparently everyone got it and here’s how to fix it — just remove your google account from EventBox and add it again. Just in case someone still has this problem.

P.S. Socialite (ex. EventBox) is the best Google Reader / Twitter client I found for Mac so far.

Recently I spotted a funny trend. There are bots on twitter which grab tweets according to keywords or hash tags. That has a good use if you want to read tweets about #as3, #flashdev and stuff. This is indeed very good for spammers. I saw many times spam links were marked with unrelated tags. But what would be more interesting is to see if it’s possible to create infinite loops of bots reposting each others’ tweets. I wonder if they have some kind of protection from that.

No wonder it is still alive.

How Adobe software was used in production of Avatar movie.

BTW, Avatar is the only movie I went to watch 2 times in a movie theater. And going to do it again.

This is crazy. MiniBuilder — AS3 editor built with AS3 and mod_actionscript — Apache mod to run AS3 server-side scripts. Both look like funny toys to play. I hate PHP, I wonder if there are good JS server-side solutions. Yes, JavaScript or ActionScript1. AS3 is too complicated for simple things.

I know that several multiuser servers use ActionScript1 as server-side programming language, but I’d use it like PHP. Just plain AS1 please.

Yet another cool flash game concept combining puzzles and platformers.
