Flex progress cursor centering

Wednesday, February 18, 2009    0 Comments

A minor nit. The progress cursor in Flex that you can use for an indeterminate waiting period is pretty cool, it has hands that cycle around it's surface showing the passage of time during your wait. However, the hands on the thing aren't centered.

It's a pretty minor nit, but it seems off by about a pixel. 

When you talk twips, perhaps they could have moved it over one so it rendered like it was actually centered. You never see these things for very long, but when one is up for any length of time, I noticed it.

Ignite Boston event

Thursday, May 8, 2008    0 Comments

[via the gaping chasm that is my stockpile of mostly un-read emails]:

O'Reilly is hosting another fun, free Ignite Boston event!

Ignite Boston is happening on Thursday, May 29, from 6 to 10pm at Tommy Doyle's in Harvard Square, Cambridge (www.tommydoyles.com). We're heading back to the venue of our first Ignite, but we're using two floors so we can accommodate more folks.

The evening's keynote speakers are:
  • Jonathan Zdziarski, iPhone maven and author of "iPhone Open Application Development" (This has me more excited than anything else right now)
  • John Viega, security guru and author of many O'Reilly titles, including the upcoming "Beautiful Security"
We're now accepting proposals for lightning talks, so if you want to speak for five minutes about a cool, new, or exciting topic, submit your idea here:

Presentation Guidelines:
  • Be no longer than 5 minutes.
  • Be on an innovative topic (no sales pitches or launches, please!).
  • Be viewable on a PC with standard AV equipment.
Want to come to the event? RSVP at IgniteBoston at oreilly dot com for the chance to win $300 worth of O'Reilly books of your choosing. You must be present to win.
