JavaScript: The Singleton Pattern
The singleton pattern is the most commonly used design pattern and one that you will probably is more than any others. It provides a great way to wrap code into logical unit that can be accessed through a single variable.
The Singleton design pattern is used when only one instance of object is needed throughout the lifetime of an application.
In JavaScript there is different way to achieve singleton object than any other object oriented supported language (Java, C++). In JavaScript Singleton pattern have many uses, they can be used for Namespace, which reduce the number of global variables in your page (Prevent from polluting global space), Organizing code in a consistent manner, which increase the readability and maintainability of your pages.
There are two important point in the traditional definition of Singleton pattern
- There should be only one instance allowed for a class and
- We should allow global point of access to that single instance
Let me define singleton pattern in JavaScript context:
"It is an object that is used to create namespace and group together a related set of methods and attributes (encapsulation) and if we allow to instantiate than it can be instantiate only once."
In JavaScript we can create singleton though object literal, However there are some another way but that I will cover in next post.
A singleton object consists of two parts: The object itself, containing the members (Both methods and attributes) within it, and global variable used to access it. The variable is global so that object can be accessed anywhere in the page, this is key feature of the singleton pattern.
JavaScript: A Singleton as a Namespace
As I have already stated above that singleton can be used to declare Namespace in JavaScript. NameSpacing is a large part of responsible programming in JavaScript. Because everything can be overwritten, and it is very easy to wipe out variable by mistake or a function, or even a class without even knowing it.
A common example which happen frequently when you are working with another team member parallel,
/* Declare globally */ function findUserName(id){ } /* Later in the page another programmer added code */ var findUserName = $('#user_list'); /* You are trying to call😦 */ console.log(findUserName())
One of the best way to prevent accidentally overwriting variable is to namespace your code within a singleton object.
/* Using Namespace */ var MyNameSpace = { findUserName : function(id){ }, // Other methods and attribute go here as well } /* Later in the page another programmer added code */ var findUserName = $('#user_list'); /* You are trying to call and you make this time workable */ console.log(MyNameSpace.findUserName());
UML Diagram for Singleton design pattern:
UML diagram for the same is given below. This implementation provide global access to the object through static method getInstance().
Singleton Design Pattern Implementation
/* Lazy Instantiation skeleton for a singleton pattern */ var MyNameSpace = {}; MyNameSpace.Singleton = (function(){ // Private attribute that holds the single instance var singletonInstance; // All of the normal code goes here function constructor(){ // Private members var privateVar1 = "Nishant"; var privateVar2 = [1,2,3,4,5]; function privateMethod1(){ // code stuff } function privateMethod1(){ // code stuff } return { attribute1 : "Nishant", publicMethod: function(){ alert("Nishant");// some code logic } } } return { // public method ( Global access point to Singleton object) getInstance: function(){ //instance already exist then return if(!singletonInstance){ singletonInstance = constructor(); } return singletonInstance; } } } })(); // getting access of publicMethod console.log(MyNamespace.Singleton.getInstance().publicMethod());
The singleton implemented above is easy to understand. The singleton class maintains a static reference to the lone singleton instance and return that reference from the static getInstance() method.
C Programming Important notes
1) void *realloc(void *ptr, size_t size);
-> realloc changes the size of the allocated memory pointed to by the argument ptr
-> newly allocated memory will be uninitialized
-> you can pass a NULL ptr safely to realloc
-> realloc may move your data to a new pointer and free the memory at the old pointer. It will return the new pointer, or the old pointer if the data is not moved.
2) Calloc
-> allocates a region of memory large enough to hold "n elements" of "size" bytes each. Also initializes contents of memory to zeroes.
-> void *calloc (number_of_blocks, size_of_each_block_in_bytes);
-> The allocated region is initialized to zero.
-> void pointer (void *). If the allocation succeeds, a pointer to the block of memory is returned.
void *calloc(size_t nelements, size_t bytes);
-> allocates "size" bytes of memory.
-> void *malloc (size_in_bytes);
-> The contents of allocated memory are not changed. i.e., the memory contains unpredictable or garbage values. This presents a risk.
-> void pointer (void *). If the allocation succeeds, a pointer to the block of memory is returned.
void *malloc(size_t size);
3) In theory, which is faster, the call to strcpy or the call to memcpy?
#include <string.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(){ char msg[12] = "Hello World"; char buffer1[12]; char buffer2[12]; strcpy(buffer1, msg); memcpy(buffer2, msg, sizeof(msg)); return 0; }
memcpy should be faster because it does not need to check every byte for a NULL, it is copying a known size of data.
4)Variables declared outside of functions or with the static specifier are always initialized to zero. Therefore this program has deterministic behavior.
#include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> int* ptrToData; int main(){ if (!ptrToData){ ptrToData = (int*)malloc(sizeof(int) * 10); printf("%p\n", ptrToData); } free(ptrToData); return 0; }
5) Fortunately, C/C++/Java makes this simple.
* To write numbers in octal, precede the value with a 0. Thus, 023 is 238 (which is 19 in base 10).
* To write numbers in hexadecimal, precede the value with a 0x or 0X. Thus, 0x23 is 2316 (which is 35 in base 10).
How to Write a Negative Value
When you write 0x23, you might wonder how to negate it. Should you write the minus sign before the 0x, or after it? The answer is before. 0x indicates that the digits afterwards are written in hex. – is an operator, so it applies to a non-negative representation. Thus, you write -0x23. which is equivalent to -35
7) Structure Member Alignment, Padding and Data Packing
8: C Bit Fields : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yszfawxh.aspx
type-specifier declarator opt : constant-expression
The constant-expression specifies the width of the field in bits. The type-specifier for the declarator must be unsigned int, signed int, or int, and the constant-expression must be a nonnegative integer value. If the value is zero, the declaration has no declarator. Arrays of bit fields, pointers to bit fields, and functions returning bit fields are not allowed. The optional declarator names the bit field. Bit fields can only be declared as part of a structure. The address-of operator (&) cannot be applied to bit-field components.
Unnamed bit fields cannot be referenced, and their contents at run time are unpredictable. They can be used as "dummy" fields, for alignment purposes. An unnamed bit field whose width is specified as 0 guarantees that storage for the member following it in the struct-declaration-list begins on an int boundary.
Bit fields must also be long enough to contain the bit pattern. For example, these two statements are not legal:
short a:17; /* Illegal! */
int long y:33; /* Illegal! */
This example defines a two-dimensional array of structures named screen.
unsigned short icon : 8;
unsigned short color : 4;
unsigned short underline : 1;
unsigned short blink : 1;
} screen[25][80];
7) C bit field storage question: stackoverflow.com/questions/21164939/unexpected-behaviour-of-bit-field-operator-in-c
#include<stdio.h> struct st { int x; static int y; }; int main() { printf("%d", sizeof(struct st)); return 0; }
->In C, struct and union types cannot have static members. In C++, struct types are allowed to have static members, but union cannot have static members in C++ also.
9: A structure cannot contain a member of its own type because if this is allowed then it becomes impossible for compiler to know
sizeof such struct. Although a pointer of same type can be a member because pointers of all types are of same size and compiler cancalculate size of struct
10) Size of array can't be constant
#include<stdio.h> void main(){ int const SIZE=5; int expr; double value[SIZE]={2.0,4.0,6.0,8.0,10.0}; expr=1|2|3|4; printf("%f",value[expr]); }
Give compiler error
11) strlen("nishant") = 7
sizeof("nishant") = 8
strlen("nishant ") = 8
sizeof("nishant ") = 10
strlen("nishantkumar") = 7
sizeof("nishant kumar") = 16
12) Hexadecimal : 0X, \x,
Octate : 0 Followed by number less then 7 ex: 01001 = 513 , '\111' = 73 here \ representing octate
#include<stdio.h> #define WWW -1 enum {cat,rat}; void main(){ int Dhoni[]={2,'b',0x3,01001,'\x1d','\111',rat,WWW}; int i; for(i=0;i<8;i++) printf(" %d",Dhoni[i]); } 2 98 3 513 29 73 1 -1 In c any character is starting with character '\' represents octal number in character. As we know octal digits are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. So 8 is not an octal digit. Hence '\08' is invalid octal character constant. 13) #include<stdio.h> void main(){ int a; a= (3,4,5); printf("%d",a); } [/sourcecode ] a= 5 #include<stdio.h> void main(){ int a; a= 3,4,5; printf("%d",a); }
14) What will be output if you will compile and execute the following c code?
void main(){ char c=125; c=c+10; printf("%d",c); }
#include "stdio.h" #include "string.h" void main(){ char *str=NULL; strcpy(str,"cquestionbank"); printf("%s",str); }
void strcpy(char *target, char *source){ while(*source) { *target = *source; source++; target++; } *target = '\0';} ***Note: In strcpy function target should not be character pointer.
void main(){ int i=10; static int x=i; if(x==i) printf("Equal"); else if(x>i) printf("Greater than"); else printf("Less than"); }
Output: Compile time error
static variables are load time entity while auto variables are run time entity. We can not initialize any load time variable by the run time variable.
In this example i is run time variable while x is load time variable.
#include<stdio.h> int main(){ printf("%c",*"abcde"); return 0; }
18) Label of GOTO: scope is function block it is not visible outside of function.
19) Scope of variable
#include<stdio.h> int main(){ int i=0; { auto int a=20; XYZ:; printf("%d",a); a++; i++; } if (i<3) goto xyz; return 0; }
Explanation: Variable a which declared inside inner block has scope only within that block. Ones program control comes out of that block variable will be dead. If with the help of goto statement we will go to inside that inner block in the printf statement complier will not known about variable a because it has been destroyed already. Hence complier will show an error message: undefined symbol a. But if you will write goto statement label before the declaration of variable then there is not any problem because variable a will again declared and initialize.
20) We cannot initialize extern variable locally i.e. within any block either at the time of declaration or separately. We can only initialize extern variable globally. For example:
#include <stdio.h> int main(){ extern int i=10; //Try to initialize extern variable //locally. printf("%d",i); return 0; }
Output: Compilation error: Cannot initialize extern variable.
#include <stdio.h> int main(){ extern int i; //Declaration of extern variable i. int i=10; //Try to locally initialization of //extern variable i. printf("%d",i); return 0; }
Output: Compilation error: Multiple declaration of variable i.
#include <stdio.h> extern int i; int main(){ i=25; //Assignment statement printf("%d",i); return 0; } int i=10; //Initialization statement
Output: 25

Javascript: How to convert string into XML Object in Javascript ?
In JavaScript we have string which format is equivalent to XML but In actual data is not in XML so we can't enjoy predefine function and can't manipulate string as XML so shoot out this issue we have to first convert string into XML object so that It allow to use manipulation of content inside node easily.
Cases Where we need to consider this conversion ( String into XML Object)
-> From server In response we get XML like formatted data but in actual data type of data is string so we can't apply manipulation on string by using XML manipulation function.
Let's have example: First we have declare a var xmlString of type string if we want to see the type of xmlString we can use console.log( typeof xmlString); it will return string.
var xmlString = "<userInfo> <name>Nishant</name> <email>email@example.com</email> </userInfo>";
So We will use XML Parser to parse string into XML object to enjoy feature of XML. As all modern browser have built
in XML Parser.
Below ParseXML function will take string val and return XML object
function ParseXML(val) { if (window.DOMParser) { parser=new DOMParser(); xmlDoc=parser.parseFromString(val,"text/xml"); } else // Internet Explorer { xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM"); xmlDoc.loadXML(val); } return xmlDoc ; }
After converting string into XML object we can enjoy XML manipulation
var xmlDataObj = ParseXML(xmlString); console.log(xmlDataObj.getElementsByTagName('name')[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue)
Output will be Nishant

How to calculate the Last Day of the month using Filemaker
Often we need to calculate the last Day or Date of the month of a year. Particularly useful to display on the report headers where we need to display the data from first of the month to the last. The calculation of last day of the month is a problem when we take into consideration the month february and the leap year. We will have to write some case statements to arrive the calculation. But there is simpler approach here. A pretty small calculation that will give you the last date and hence the day can be calculated from it.Here it goes like this below one.
Date((SuppliedMonth+ 1), 1, SuppliedYear) -1
This gives you the last date of the month. Now to calculate the day just use the day function.
Day(Date((SuppliedMonth+ 1), 1, SuppliedYear) -1)
Optimized way for Counting total no of record in Portal in Filemaker.
As we know that we generally we use count () function for counting total no of record in related table, but it's take time when we have large number of data. So there is a function called Get(FoundCount) which calculate total no of record in portal in fastest way.
Put a Field Called Found_Record_Count in Related table on wich Portal is displayed and make it Unstored Calculation field with Get ( FoundCount ) function and mark calculation result as Number.
What are P, NP, NP-complete, and NP-hard ?
P (Polynomial time decidable problems) is a class of problems which can be decided in polynomial time i.e., there's an algorithm for such a problem which tells whether the solution of a given instance of a problem is true/false in O(n^k) time for some constant k.
For example, deciding whether there exists a path of at most k links between two vertices u and v is in P.
NP (Non-deterministic polynomial time decidable problems) is a class of problems which have short accepting certificates and efficient verification algorithms i.e., given a certificate of a solution, it is easy to check if the problem is satisfied.
Accepting certificate is information which can be used to decide if the answer is true or false.
Formally, a problem is in NP if there exists a verification algorithm A such that for any input x for which the answer is "true", there is a certificate c such that |c| is polynomial and A(x,c) = true. For any x for which the answer is true, there is no certificate c such that |c| is polynomial and A(x,c) is true.
For example, given a graph G and a number k, deciding whether there exists a clique (complete subgraph) of size k, is in NP.
P is a subset of NP i.e., any problem that is in P is also in NP. It is easy to see that for any problem that can be decided in polynomial time, there exists a verification algorithm that given any certificate just ignores the certificate and returns the result of the polynomial-time algorithm.
Whether NP is also a subset of P (i.e., P = NP) is an open question. No one knows yet.
NP-hard is a class of problems which are hardest of all problems in NP. These are the problems such that if we can solve them fast, then we can solve all problems in NP fast and P would equal NP. NP-hard problems may be of any type: decision problems, search problems, or optimization problems so they may not even be in NP.
For example, the clique problem discussed above is NP-hard.
NP-complete is a class of problems which are in NP and are NP-hard. NP-complete problems transform to each-other by polynomial-time many-one reductions so if a polynomial-time algorithm exists for any one of them, then polynomial algorithms exist for all of them. However, no polynomial algorithm for any NP-complete problem has yet been found.
For example, the clique problem discussed above is NP-complete.
How to add JavaScript file dynamically from JavaScript on client Side
We can add java script file on client side under head tag by JavaScript dynamically. Below is working code
var filename = 'http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.0.0.js'; var fileref = document.createElement('script'); fileref.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript"); fileref.setAttribute("src", filename); fileref.setAttribute("ID", "jsScript"); document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(fileref);
Let's Understand the above code We have to put script under head tag in below format
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.0.0.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
So for doing this have to define filename = which can be file name and absolute and relative JS file path name.Now we have to create script element which can be done using document.createElement('script') method. And for adding attribute can be used setAttribute method.
Note: Here I have also set ID property fileref.setAttribute("ID", "jsScript"); which is optional. It will be helpfull when you want to check whether already page contains script with this ID or not.
Below code is used for check whether already have included Js file if yes then don't include So It can be used to Check to see if script is present before adding one.
var jsSelector = document.getElementById("jsScript"); if (!jsSelector) { var filename = 'http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.0.0.js'; var fileref = document.createElement('script'); fileref.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript"); fileref.setAttribute("src", filename); fileref.setAttribute("ID", "jsScript"); document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(fileref); }

Senior Tyler Redington has worked in the Office of Sports Information for more than two years. In that time, he said he has seen Keuka College take strides in expanding not only the campus' physical size, but the Keuka College brand as a whole, including the athletics department.
Redington acknowledges there are a lot of people at the College who work very hard every day to ensure its success, including many in the athletics department. But it's Sports Information Director John Boccacino who especially comes to Redington's mind.
"Mr. Boccacino is not only the head of sports information, he is the only staff member in the entire department," said Redington. "[But] he keeps up-to-date records on each of the sports at Keuka College, maintains the athletics website, and keeps up with all the latest news with our teams."
And the news on the Keuka College Wolfpack is as varied as the number of sports offered.
"From press releases about our women's basketball coach raising awareness for kids in third world countries who don't have shoes, to post-game video interviews, or stories about our annual pep rally, John Boccacino covers it with a smile on his face," said Redington.
But that is not the end of Boccacino's duties, according to Redington.
"Since Mr. Boccacino is the only one in the sports information department, he also manages and monitors all of his work-study student employees," said Redington. "This means he must also exhibit some human resource management ability by creating a schedule for his employees and training each of us to do the kinds of tasks needed to get done for the athletic events hosted on campus."
As well as working for Boccacino, Redington also completed a Field Period™ with him. In addition to teaching Redington the daily ins-and-outs of the job, he said Boccacino saw him through a lot of difficult times, "including when I was suspended during my first attempt at a Field Period™ in his department. I was forced to leave the school for some bad decision-making," said Redington.
"Instead of considering me another trouble-bound kid not worth the time, Mr. Boccacino called me and told me keep my head on straight and return to school where my position in his department would be waiting for me," said Redington, who wants to pursue sports information as a career. "When I returned to school, Mr. Boccacino made sure I went back to work for him in his department, and has helped me raise my GPA higher than ever before."
Added Redington: "If it were not for John Boccacino, I would not be in the position I am in today."

Xong "Sony" Yang, international student advisor, arrived on the Keuka College campus in October 2014.
She "jumped right in" to her position and "immediately" began giving projects to her work-study students, including senior Crystal Billings.
"From what I saw, Sony made the transition into her new position smoothly, and was excited to work with Keuka College's International Students Services," said Billings, a sociology major from Groton.
The projects that Yang had Billings work on have included reorganizing the file system, bulletin boards, and various other creative projects, including working on a Lunar New Year display. During these projects, Billings welcomed the constructive criticism Yang provided.
"Sony has been extremely patient and I have greatly appreciated that," said Billings. "Without the critiques she has given me, I would not have been able to grow as a student, or an employee. I believe she is understanding, and I am always able to talk to Sony to solve any problem."
And that dialogue goes both ways. As Billings seeks to improve her role in the office, Yang is also actively seeking feedback from Billings and the other work-study students in her office.
"Sony has asked how she can improve as a supervisor," said Billings. "She is conscious of how she is doing, which to me, shows that she wants to be the best supervisor she can possibly be."
In addition to talking with Billings about the projects in the office, Yang "also makes sure that I am all right in other aspects such as health and academics," said Billings, "which means a lot to me, because it shows that Sony cares about me."
And Billings wants to model Yang after she graduates next month.
"Sony has encouraged me to work hard in this position, as she knows I would like to go into student affairs after I graduate from Keuka College," said Billings. "She has been helpful with giving me advice and figuring out my path. It is evident that she cares for all of her students, which is what I would love to be able to show when I am in the field."
While Billings does not know where she will work in higher education, Yang inspired her to apply for a graduate assistant position in the international programs office at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
"I believe that it is because of the experiences that I have had with Sony that I want work in international programs outside of Keuka College," said Billings. "She has influenced me to be the best I can be when I am in the field and have my own work-study students."
Added Billings: "I have really appreciated being able to work with Sony during my senior year. She has shown me who I want to be when I get into the field and that means a lot to me. I believe Sony will go far as a work-study supervisor, since she cares so much about her workers. She really loves what she does, and that makes all the difference."

More than three years ago, senior Savannah Fuller became a work-study student in the Community Service Resource Office as a Community Service Advocate.
In that time, Fuller said her work-study supervisor, Valerie Webster, co-curricular and community service coordinator, has pushed her to think outside of the box and find new ways to reach out to others.
"Upon accepting this job three years ago to help pay for college, I had no idea the true wealth I would gain from Valerie," said Fuller. "We have established a strong working relationship, and she is a phenomenal work-study supervisor."
Fuller said that Webster has instilled in her an intrinsic motivation to help others.
"Valerie has helped me grow into a better person, and I will never be able to thank her enough for that," said Fuller, who is nominating Webster for a second time. "I attribute the success of [the Community Service Resource Office] programming to Valerie's unwavering commitment to her community and desire to do better for the people within it."
In fact, as a result of "countless hours" of brainstorming sessions with Webster, Fuller said she has helped "improve our community projects to better benefit others."
"Over the years, we have added new community service projects, made new and lasting contacts in the community, and have doubled—even tripled—participation and donations on campus for our projects," said Fuller. "Valerie's dedication to her employees and work-study programs is beyond admirable."
In addition to supervising the Community Service Advocates, Webster oversees Big Brothers Big Sisters, the New Student Orientation mentors, and off-campus tutors.
"As a supervisor, Valerie provides each of us with appropriate guidance and leadership to help us grow and be successfully independent in our roles as work-study students," said Fuller. "No matter what challenges life presents Valerie with, she has always given her work-study students 100 percent."
After commencement, Fuller believes that the friendship she and Webster share, as well as the dedication to each of their communities, will last beyond her work-study position and long after her graduation from Keuka College.
Added Fuller: "The impact Valerie has had on my life, and the lives of countless other students, is invaluable and transcendent. Valerie has a way of changing student's lives for the better."
Junior Courtney Nojeim serves as a student worker at the circulation desk in the Lightner Library. And every day when she comes to work, Nojeim knows she can count on Carol Sackett, library circulation supervisor.
"Not only is Carol a fabulous supervisor in the library, but she is someone that we can all rely on if we need someone to talk to," said Nojeim. "She is always smiling and welcoming when we arrive at work. She has such a positive attitude at work, that I never know if she is having a bad day."
While Nojeim has worked at the circulation desk for two years, she finds comfort in knowing Sackett "is always there to assist me when I am confused about any kind of process at the circulation desk," said Nojeim. "I know that if I have any kind of problem, I can count on her to be right on top of it and try her best to help me solve it. Carol is always willing to train and retrain us when we are in need of learning new processes or programs on the computer."
One of those new processes was transitioning from a paper-based timesheet to a web-based system. The student employees in the library were among those to first test out the system, and Nojeim said Sackett worked "extremely hard to keep up with the transition from the paper timesheets."
Nojeim said that because of Sackett, "the library feel like a second home for me because she is so kind and friendly. When I had my first interview with Carol, I knew that I was going to succeed having her as my supervisor."
Adds Nojeim: "I can't express how willing Sackett is to help us when we are in need of her assistance. Carol has an encouraging outlook on life and her job. She does everything that she can to make it easier for the students working in the library."

Rachel Dewey, communications specialist, has made significant contributions to the Office of Marketing and Communications, according to freshman Samantha Contreras, assistant editor of the Keukonian student newspaper.
"By being a hardworking, motivational, and knowledgeable individual, she has been able to give me the opportunity to learn the ropes first hand," said Contreras, an English major from Staten Island.
"As a freshman, I have had the privilege of working with Rachel in the course of my first and second semester," added Contreras.
Dewey, who serves as co-advisor of the paper, has given Contreras "a chance to succeed by becoming a team leader, organizing meetings, and getting the chance to write my own stories for the Keukonian."
Added Contreras: "Rachel is an excellent person to work with and for."

Actually, upon paying closer attention it is going back into autoattack after EVERY battle, if that's intentional, why give us the option to turn it off?
I've had that problem before on certain browsers. I think it did that for me on Chroma and IE, but when I use firefox, which I use now exclusively, it does not come unchecked.
I'm using firefox too so… What the heck?

Great Recap, Jacques!!!
Lotusphere 2012 Business Development Day: a recap
Colleen Burns 120000C4RP email@example.com | | Tags:  connect businessdevelopment lotusphere
2 Comments | 3,521 Visits
By Jacques Pavlenyi
Market Segment Manager, Collaboration Solutions
Greetings from Lotusphere 2012! I'm safely tucked in my hotel room after a lovely, if slightly chilly, Opening Night Party. A great time for all, with excellent food trucks, and even better conversations with business partners, customers and IBMers from all around the world. I wanted to share a short recap of this year's Business Development (BD) Day before I get some shut-eye and prepare for the big Opening Day on Monday.
First of all, a huge thank you to Barbara Lallas and the IBM Software Channels Marketing and Sales teams for once again pulling off a fact-filled and exciting day for our Business Partners.
There were many "firsts" this year, both event-related and personal. On my front, I had the pleasure of my very first BDDay presentation: the 3pm "Social Collaboration: a $47B opportunity you can't miss!" session co-presented with the extremely talented Jack Welch. The room was full (I estimated over 300 filled the seats, all the way to the back), and a lot was crammed into 60 minutes. Please keep the great questions and comments coming. Feel free to grab me via Twitter (@mediamutt) or stop by the Lotus Notes and Domino demonstration pedestal in the Showcase.
This year was also a first for our newest team members, including our new Vice President of Marketing, Matt Collins. After 4 great years with us, Kristen Lauria is moving to a new role as Vice President of WebSphere Marketing. She will be missed, for sure, but we look forward to drenching our new marketing leader in the Lotusphere "firehose".
We also held the BDDay Opening General Session in the afternoon instead of the (bleary-eyed) morning timeslot, which more often than not tripped up our executives with a "good morning!" from the stage. It felt like I was in one of those cross-time-zone IBM conference calls ("...and good morning, good afternoon, or good evening to our participants...", just one of the IBM-isms heard today... I highly recommend #stuffIBMerssay for an amusing read). But our intrepid executives, including Mike Garbett, Alistair Rennie, Mike Rhodin, Doug Cox, Kristen Lauria and Sandy Carter, pushed through and delivered the key messages for the coming year, a lot of previews of the coming week, as well as the key strategic elements for how business partners can profit by joining the social business transformation.
The highlight, of course, was the announcement of our annual Business Partner awards. Each of our executives made at least one announcement, with Sandy Carter rounding out the list with several awards for our geographic business partner awards. A full list of all the finalists and winners will be posted shortly.
Some of the more memorable moments of the OGS for me included these business partner statistics:
And here were some juicy social business nuggets as well:
To recap, the three things Alistair wanted all the attendees to think about for the coming week:
In addition to the OGS, there were numerous Jump Start, certification, and general sessions. I couldn't attend all of them, of course, but was able to peak into a few, including:
And the social networks were abuzz, complementing the live activities with online community conversations. Whether through the interactive displays in the Social Cafes, or the conversations happening on Twitter or in the Lotusphere Community, BDDay was as much about living social as it was about our clients' social business transformation. I counted at least over 1200 tweets, plenty of checkins in Foursquare, many blog posts, and much more. If you didn't make it, many sessions will be posted in the online communities and there will be LiveStreaming of key sessions during the week. Just visit the Lotusphere Social Media Aggregator for live video and much more.
See you around for the rest of this exciting week!

Solar Impulse Airplane Gears Up For First Night Flight!
Posted By Ariel Schwartz On June 29, 2010 @ 6:00 pm In Environment,Solar Power | 4 Comments
We've been following the progress of the Solar Impulse, [2] a solar-powered plane that will attempt to circle the globe, for over a year. The single-seat plane [3] took its first successful flight this past April, and now Solar Impulse founder Bertrand Piccard is gearing up to send the plane on its inaugural night flight this Thursday.
The plane [5], which has a 208-foot wingspan and measures just 3,500 pounds (the same as a large car), is powered by four 10 horsepower electric motors. The motors gather energy from batteries, which in turn are juiced up by 12,000 solar cells [6] covering the plane's wings.
So far, Solar Impulse has taken 10 flights — all during the day. The night flight will require a 25-hour window of clear summer weather to take off from the Payerne airbase in Switzerland. If the latest flight attempt succeeds, the solar-powered plane will inch significantly closer to its goal of a round-the-world trip that will fly both during the day and night. Good luck to the Solar Impulse team!

HEAD-DIRECT RE0 In-ear Headphones
" I'm not great at writing reviews, but I'm bored right now and I thought I'd take the time to "honor" the RE0's. I've bought/sold/heard many IEM's in the past, stuff like: IE8, W3, PFE, SE530, TF10, X10 etc. Before the RE0's went on that $99 sale, I came to the conclusion that the W3's were the IEM's for me, X10 and SE530 came in a close second, but anyway, my point is, I was quite satisfied..." --koven
HiFiMAN RE-400
"Packaging and build: The packaging is minimal and exquisitely so. The extra tips filters and manual are behind the felt coated foam holding the earphones. As I gingerly dislodged them from the grooves, I was struck by how tiny they are. I always try to avoid gripping the strain relief as a precaution, but it was difficult considering the size. The shiny bead blasted aluminium back goes..." --getclikinagas
Ortofon e-Q7 Ear Canal Headphone
" Prior to purchasing these, my primary concern is to have a proper alternative for my ESW9 which have better isolation to be used for listening to my ballad tunes on the road. While I don't have any issues with louder tracks, with more subtle ones, my ESW9 aren't up to the task, and so my search began. Actually, I'm not really keen on the idea of using an IEM since they irritate my ears..." --lotusbloom
Ortofon e-Q5
" This "moving armature" descendant of the Ortofon e-Q7 makes no sacrifices in terms of quality, despite being introduced at a more affordable price point. The introduction of a new cord and strain relief system help tame microphonics and make the model easy to wear both down and over the ear. The all-aluminum housing is large and may not fit all ears, but the design is simple and..." --Dekimasu
" Introduction First and foremost, a big thank you goes out to Fang at Head-Direct for sending me a sample of the RE-ZERO IEMs for review. If you've been keeping up with Musical Musings, you're probably well aware of my current love affair with the HiFiMan RE0 IEMs. They are the current crown jewel in my IEM/headphone collection and hardly a day goes by in which I don't pop them into..." --TheGame21x

" Introduction First, I'd like to thank Fang at Head-Direct once again for generously providing me with a RE-262 review sample. HiFiMan has come a long way in just a few short years.

It's that time of week when we answer the questions you're to drunk or shy to ask...This question comes from Terra:
I took a pay cut at my job recently and have less cash to go out with. How do I handle only paying for what I ate and drank at a bar or restaurant if my friends are ordering $15 scotch while I nurse a few beers? They always want to "just split it," but then I get screwed.
It seems like half the questions I get asked can be answered, at least partially, with a simple "Speak the fuck up." Oh Brian, you're assuming that people think, and I can assure you that this is rarely the case. Most people don't pay any attention when the bill comes, not to who had what and certainly not to who drank the bottle of Prosecco and who didn't. Especially after a few round of drinks. I don't understand why this is so hard for you.So many times I've come to collect a bill, and I could feel the tension steaming off people. Of course, you can start your own tab at the bar or with the waitress. Instead of being so sensitive or silently whining about overpaying, be proactive.
If these are your friends, why can't you simply say, "Sorry guys, but you lapped me with that Scotch, here's for my beers." This happened just the other day to me. At lunch, I had soup and a beer, and my friends each had entrees that were twice the cost of my soup, and wine that was twice the cost of my beer. No way was I splitting the check three ways. Just before I said something, my friend Lisa realized it, and all was well. No big deal.
Sorry, timz iz hard, people. I don't have any difficulty going out and eating on the cheap, and doing it on the sly. Carrying cash can solve the problem. Being aware of what you've ordered when the bill comes helps. Having the sense god gave a goat to know that you have to add BOTH tip and tax also helps because if you don't want to foot the bill for the more extravagant tastes of your friends, you're going to have to do the math. Not an Einstein? Move the decimal over one place add that to your total. Tax on food and beverage amounts to nearly 10% in Seattle. Double that amount and add that as the tip. Why is this so hard?
Remember also this rule of thumb: If you put it in your mouth, you throw in on it. You don't want to be that guy. So if you're really trying to save money, "just one bite" of your friends' appetizer doesn't cut it. If you have one corn chip off that nacho platter, you contribute.

Did She Know?
Was Madeleine Albright really surprised about her Jewish roots?
By Franklin Foer
The Washington Post reported Feb. 4 that Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's parents were Jewish converts to Catholicism and that her grandparents died in the Holocaust. Albright declared, "This was obviously a major surprise to me. I have never been told this." Many people find that hard to believe. No one criticizes Albright and her parents, refugees twice-over (first from Nazism, then from Communism), for how they chose to put their lives back together. But there is lively debate over Albright's insistence that her Jewish roots are "a major surprise."
Doubters point, first, to circumstantial evidence. How could someone as intelligent and well-versed in European history as Albright (her Ph.D. work focused on contemporary Central European politics) not have deduced her family's ancestry from what we know she knew?
Albright's father, Josef Korbel, was a foreign-service officer in the liberal interwar Czechoslovakian government. Just after she was born in 1937, he was posted to the Czech embassy in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. But he was recalled two years later, when the Munich Pact essentially made Czechoslovakia a German province. Instead of going home, Korbel moved his family to London to join the Czech government-in-exile.
After the war, the family returned to Prague and learned, Albright says, that her three living grandparents had died. Korbel was briefly the postwar government's ambassador to Yugoslavia, but when Communists ousted the government in 1948, the family fled to the United States.
Albright knew all this. What she did not know until 1997, she says, is that her parents grew up Jewish and converted to Catholicism only sometime around the outbreak of the war. And her grandparents, along with almost all her other relatives, died in German death camps.
Should Albright have intuited these omissions? The skeptics say her parents' story begs obvious questions:
Why did a midlevel Czech diplomat harbor enough fear of Nazi persecution to uproot his family to England? Korbel was a liberal, but not necessarily prominent or active enough to worry--for that reason alone--about getting singled out.
Why did three of Albright's grandparents and most of her family die during the war? It's not clear Albright ever received an explanation. The Korbel family's casualties were especially incongruous because gentiles generally suffered less during Nazi occupation in Czechoslovakia than in other Central and Eastern European countries.
There's also Albright's relationship with her Jewish first cousin, who still lives in Prague. The cousin, Dagmar Simova, has been the media's main source of information about Albright's wartime experience. A teen-ager during the war, Simova survived in London, living with the Korbels. Simova doesn't strongly identify as a Jew, but has never been under any misapprehension about her ethnic identity. Also, Simova discovered the truth about the wartime atrocities almost immediately afterward, including her own parents' deaths in Auschwitz.

Type: Improvement
Status: Open
Priority: Major
Resolution: Unresolved
Affects Version/s: 1.5.0
Fix Version/s: Future
Component/s: camel-core
This is a feature that has been requested by users a few times, and it's time to get addressed.
Camel does not really support 2x 1-way async messaging. It sorta does in camel-jms, by sending a message to a queue and setting the "JMSCorrelationID" header. For a ExchangePattern.InOut it immediately waits for a response (up to a timeout period) and gets the reply and continues processing.
There are a few issues with this approach:
- this mechanism is not available across all camel components. There are other camel components that support async 1 way messaging such as file/ftp, mail, mina, cxf, etc.
- there can be no other processing between a message is sent and a reply is received.
- the timeout value is short and keeps resources locked, we cannot have long running transactions
My proposal is to:
- move the mechanism from jms into core (and improve it)
- use a correlation mechanism (that will be different for different components, such as MessageID in camel-mail) to correlate inputs with outputs. The correlation mechanism could be implicit or explicit.
- provide a storage for pending 2x 1-way async UOWs (multiple options available)
A route would then look something like this:
from("direct.start") .setHeader("reply-to", constant("hadrian@localhost; copy@localhost")) .correlate(header("Message-ID")) .to("smtp://someone@localhost?password=secret&to=otherone@localhost") from("pop3://hadrian@localhost?password=secret).correlate(header("Message-ID")) .from("some-other-source") .aggregate(header("foo")).to("direct:end");
note: the multiple from(s).
- This also gives unlimited time for a reply to be received.
- I don't think support for acid transactions makes any sense in such case.
- The presence of correlate() in the pipeline causes automatic storage of the uow
- The presence of correlate() after a from() causes the removal of the uow from persistent store.
Any ideas?

There's a lot of red in markets this morning as a new month gets underway, with investors feeling unease over automatic U.S. budget cuts set to kick in and weaker-than-expected economic data this morning out of Europe and Asia. The TSX should open lower, coming under pressure not only from weak sentiment for equities today but a steep decline in commodities, especially industrial metals and crude oil.
The Dow on Thursday came within 15 points of a record high before pulling back to close the session modestly lower. The retracement didn't have a clear catalyst, but with the U.S. budget cuts threatening to curb economic growth and a lot of market noise suggesting stocks are getting overextended, investors are growing increasingly cautious.
There is a barrage of economic data out of the U.S. this morning that could influence trading today. We detail those reports below. In the meantime, there's been little headway in efforts to avoid the $85-billion (U.S.) in spending cuts that officially start kicking in tonight. The U.S Senate Thursday rejected a pair of partisan proposals to replace the automatic cuts. Today, President Barack Obama is meeting with Congressional leaders but no significant progress is expected.
In the U.K. today, a gauge of factory activity sank to 47.9, down from a revised 50.5 in January and well below expectations for 51, which would have signified expansion. Meanwhile, inflation in the euro zone in February fell and joblessness rose to an all-time high of 11.9 per cent, data showed.
In China, a purchasing managers' index eased to 50.1 after seasonal adjustments in February, the weakest reading in five months and just above the 50-point level separating growth from contraction on a monthly basis. January's reading was 50.4. The data suggested economic growth this year in China would be mild.
U.S. futures: S&P 500 -0.5 per cent; Dow -0.4 per cent; Nasdaq -0.5 per cent
Hong Kong's Hang Seng index -0.61 per cent
Shanghai composite index -0.24 per cent
Japan's Nikkei +0.40 per cent
London's FTSE 100 -0.50 per cent
Germany's DAX -0.87 per cent
France's CAC 40 -1.13 per cent
Italy's FTSE MIB -1.72 per cent
WTI (Nymex Apr) -1.06 per cent at $91.07 (U.S.) a barrel
Gold (Comex Apr) -0.74 per cent at $1,566.20 (U.S.) an ounce
Copper (Comex May) -1.78 per cent at $3.49 (U.S.) a pound
Canadian dollar down 0.0015, or 0.15 per cent, at $0.9688 (U.S.)
Motor vehicle sales to be released throughout the day.
Statistics Canada said gross domestic product grew 0.6 per cent in the fourth quarter, in line with forecasts, as December's output shrank by 0.2 per cent from the previous month.
U.S. personal income fell 3.6 per cent in January, falling by the most in two decades, as higher tax rates hiked in. That was steeper than the 2.5 per cent economists expected. U.S. personal spending rose 0.2 per cent, matching expectations.
A final reading of the Markit manufacturing purchasing managers index fell to 54.3 in February from 55.8 in January.
(955 a.m. ET) U.S. releases Reuter's/University of Michigan consumer confidence survey. A reading of 76.0 is expected, down a little from 76.3 previously.
(10 a.m. ET) The U.S. Institute for Supply Management issues its manufacturing index for February. Economists expect a reading of 52.5.
(10 a.m. ET) U.S. releases construction spending for January. Economists look for growth of 0.6 per cent, lower than growth in December of 0.9 per cent.
Talks between Best Buy Co. founder Richard Schulze have ended for a private takeover of the retailer after failing to line up debt and equity financing, Bloomberg News is reporting. Shares are up 5 per cent in the premarket after the company reported better-than-expected quarterly results.
Groupon shares are up 4 per cent in the premarket after the company fired CEO Andrew Mason Thursday.
Magna International Inc. hiked its dividend 16 per cent and boosted its sales outlook.
Other earnings today include: Best Buy; GMP Capital Inc.; Lloyds Banking Group PLC; Mega Brands Inc.; TransForce Inc.
The "greedometer" indicator - with its strong track record of predicting big market pullbacks - is flashing red.
A careful review of historical data suggests that the bull market would still have a long way to go if and when the Dow reaches a new all-time high.
Given February's stock market gains, history suggests a good year for the bulls.
How global stock markets have performed so far this year. Canada's return, you'll see, isn't much to celebrate.

WOW! What an amazing event. I spent most of today in the John Bassett theatre at the Metro Toronto Convention Center watching Damir and Rick deliver an excellent set of sessions on Communicating and Collaborating.
For anyone out there that was unable to attend the session, and is looking into mobility solutions, you should keep an eye on the CanITPro Blog for the slides and audio versions of the sessions. Rick and Damir skillfully walked the audience through the steps required to configure Exchange, SharePoint, ISA, and Windows Mobile 5 to provide the end user with an environment to allow them to work collaboratively regardless of whether they were in the office or on the road. They even managed to throw in some adhoc, realtime, Instant messaging with one of the User Group leaders in Montreal. Talk about keeping it interesting and interactive.
A lot of the technology that they showed was stuff that as Microsoft employees we take for granted. The ability to launch Outlook and Office Communicator without having to VPN back into the work network is a great boost for productivity, not to mention, ease of use for the user.
I will be uploading all the photos of today's event (yes I was the guy with the flash, sorry) to my Flickr account over the next couple of days, but here are a few to get you started.
The rest of the photos will be here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/barnaby_jeans/sets/72057594057232847/
I hope you enjoyed the event as much as I did.
So here we are, the next day after the event in Toronto and I'm already in the next hotel...

Well since this the mother's divorce became final, 2 days later "the love of her life" left her again. Then he realized he had no where to take his 3 kids so got back with her. They've also all moved back to my hometown. That's right, all 9 of them moved to my hometown expecting one of my foo to house them.
My first reaction was, yay maybe I can help some of the kids out. Then I see the post on the debil last night (I deleted the mom after an unpleasant exchange) On the 8 yo's page how her big sister is crying in the other room and Devin hit her and they're so scared (Devin being the 14 yo's bf). So I pm the 8 yo calming her down and sking what happened, then making sure she told her mom or Aunt (whom they are stay with, god bless her).
During this conversation she reveals that they bought a house in a very well to do town! They're moving at the end of the month. Well here's the thing. A lot of my FOO has been voicing concerns that he seems like a drug dealer, and none of us would be surprised after knowing each of the kids bio fathers.
My mom is a mandatory reporter and has reported her to CPS, and I'm tempted to follow suit. I'm a mandatory reporter as well (medical professional) but havn't had the same conversations as my mom has with her. I'm really torn. I want what's best for these kids, not for them to be bounced around from house to house, state to state, and father to father.
I want to drop the rope, but I feel like someone needs to be their advocate.
So DWIL, now they're on my turf it's different circumstances. WWYD

Patriots' injury bug continues with Edelman on IR
Updated: December 4, 2012, 6:48 PM ETAssociated Press
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Rob Gronkowski broke his forearm. Chandler Jones injured his ankle. Logan Mankins hurt his hip, calf and ankle.

The ailments keep piling up.
But so do the wins.

Gr 4-7-- Shortly after 12-year-old Xena and her younger brother Xander move with their parents to London from Florida, they discover that they are the direct descendents of Sherlock Holmes and they receive his notebook of unsolved cases in this first title (Holt, 2008) in the series by Tracy Barrett. The youngsters are determined to try to solve a case, and settle on one involving a long-missing portrait by the artist Nigel Batheson. There is an exhibit of his work scheduled to open at a local museum, so the children feel a connection to the case. Following one clue after another, as well as some miscues, the siblings use their particular talents of exceptional memory and observation to find a solution. Likeable characters, an intriguing premise, and references to original Sherlock Holmes stories combine for a fun telling. David Pittu does a laudable job reading the tale and has an excellent sense of timing. He gives each character a unique voice and brings the various personalities to life. An enjoyable beginning to a new series.--Deanna Romriell, Salt Lake City Public Library, UT[Page 74]. Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information.
Gr 4-7-- Detective stories derived from the adventures of Sherlock Holmes are well represented in juvenile literature from Donald Sobol's "Encyclopedia Brown" series to Nancy Springer's "Enola Holmes" mysteries. Welcome 12-year-old Xena Holmes and her brother, Xander, Sherlock's great-great-great grandchildren, newly arrived in London from Florida. They are playing a favorite game, guessing people's occupation by appearance, in front of their hotel when a strange man delivers a note written in disappearing ink directing them to the Dancing Men Pub. There, through a set of tests, their famous relative is revealed to them, and they are given his "Unsolved Cases" notebook. Xena, intrigued by it, soon finds a case with modern relevance--a missing portrait by Nigel Batheson, whose other works are being displayed in a nearby gallery. The siblings are off and running through a plot laced with references to the original stories and using similar devices, including a red herring. The main characters are observant, bright, and gifted with powers of deduction. Watson's great-great-great grandson, Andrew, is integral to the plot. Some clues seem to be obvious, but they can lead to a wrong conclusion. A well-paced beginning to a new series.--Kathryn Kosiorek, formerly at Cuyahoga County Public Library, Brooklyn, OH[Page 134].

Canadian viewing habits over time have evolved. Canadians today have more content available than ever before, with the ability to watch what they want, how they want it, and how much they want to consume.
Choose a character
1- Do you use a smartphone, tablet, or laptop when watching TV?
I like to focus just on what's happening on the show.
The fewer distractions, the better!
The fewer distractions, the better!
I tweet, pin, post to Facebook, and research character and plot info while watching. There's so much more to learn and talk about than what's happening on the screen. #serialtweeter #ilovemyTV
2- In an average week, approximately how much time do you spend watching TV?
I watch a few shows regularly (but wouldn't call myself a mega-fan of any one in particular), and catch whatever's on when I sit down to relax.
I am pretty loyal to two or three shows and don't miss an episode. Outside of these, I'm familiar with a few others and know what I like, but my TV knowledge is far from comprehensive.
I am a TV devotee. I have four or five shows that I watch each week and semi-regularly keep up four or five more. I've seen it all and can talk the talk with the best of them.
3- When you watch TV, do you usually watch live or record episodes to watch later?
I don't want to wait to see what happens.
Wednesday at 8 PM or Thursday at 9:30 I know exactly where I'll be.
Wednesday at 8 PM or Thursday at 9:30 I know exactly where I'll be.
I'm a pretty busy person, but I need to catch up with all of the shows I love, too. I want watching TV to fit my schedule, not the other way around.
4- What is the greatest number of episodes that you've watched back-to-back during a single day?
There are only so many hours in a day that my body can handle on a couch. I need some more variety.
Gives me a chance to immerse myself in the characters and really get into the plot.
I'm completely obsessed and glued to the screen.
Nothing can slow me down!
Nothing can slow me down!

If you're thinking of buying gift cards for holiday presents, you might want to consider some of them come with fees. According to the on-line company Scrip Smart, North Carolina received an F grade when it come to protecting consumers against gift card fees and expiration dates. The reasons behind the failing grade are merchants are not required to give money back, there are no limits on expiration dates- and post-sale fees of any amount may be charged 1 year after date of purchase.
"I'd be more apt to go to the actual cash rather than purchase something they may not like and I'll have to take back which is something I don't like to do so I guess I'd rather do the cash then take the chance to get somebody a gift card that their going to have to pay a fee,"said shocked shopper Susan Steel.

This is a followup to my post last week about getting sent a mismatched stem and handlebar from an online shop. While the stem is no good to me and will be returned, the Ritchey Logic anatomical handlebars seem decent for the £10 (about $16 US) they cost on clearance.
While looking through my bike-bits drawer, I realized I had an unused pair of aluminum 31.8 to 25.4 shims. Placing these on the handlebar, they are a tight but almost perfect fit. They are a hair small, literally - if I press them to the bar with finger strength, they will stick in place, gripping the bar, with only a hair's gap visible between the handlebar and the center of the curve of the shim. I suspect that with the added pressure from a stem clamp, they will fit perfectly.
Does this sound like an OK thing to do? I could also try sanding out the inside of the shims a bit, but it almost seems unnecessary...
The bars are aluminum, not that high-end, so I figure the tubing won't be too delicate or thin. The shims are also aluminum.

Thoughts and opinions on whether or not they're linked?
I went to the ER two days ago for some horrible stomach pains I was having. They ran a bunch of tests (a week after my OB ran tests and did an ultrasound to investigate why I keep miscarrying so early). Nothing profound was discovered except that I'm anemic.
I have been anemic, on and off, my whole life since adolescence. I am anemic when pregnant and have to take iron supplements.
Well I'm on a prenatal vitamin (have been for 2 straight years) that is supposed to give me 167% of my daily iron requirement. In addition, I do eat a diet pretty rich in iron. AND I'M STILL ANEMIC! How anemic would I be without the vitamin and diet?!
I've started myself on the iron supplements my OB gives me to take during my pregnancies. I have tons left.

Is it already October? My how time goes past! Over a month since the Furry Dollmakers were uploaded, and it just hasn't stopped since. Busy busy Gen =}
Well I got a fair few projects on the go. I'm the sort of person that once I get an idea in my head, it can either go one of two ways; I forget about it 2 minutes later, or I just HAVE to do something about it so that my head doesn't fill up with creative thoughts.
So I embarked on a few new fun things to fill my time with XD Here's the run-down of what I'm supposed to be doing....
New books! Yeah I have been offered 16 more childrens books to illustrate in COLOUR this time. I'm moving up the ranks XD A bit daunting but, it's fun so far. I have 6 months to do them when they get underway, and I get to work from home, like a real free-lance sorta person.
A new super dooper Flash game! Since my Flash coding doesn't stretch very far at all, and I wish it did, I'm stuck making another dress-up game. Well sort of, I'm about a third of the way through an "Avatar Designer"!
It's just a little thing, where you can make an anime face, but it's kind of cool and I hope I can get it done.
Lets say thats my list for now! Few more things also on the go but I won't go into them JUST yet, until they're done or further along.
Well I'm going to go back to working on Flash stuff, see what I get out of it for today! And maybe have something to eat... and a coffee. Yeah, coffee, that sounds SO nice right now.
~ Gen
Very sorry, but I cannot accept trades or requests at this time. Thankyou.
