Flex 4.0 UndoManager
Aug 13th
While doing some research googling I just came across a great post about one of the many new Flex functionalities in the 4.0 SDK.
The UndoManager class as the author explains “is a part of the brand new shiny TextLayout framework, but, because it follows a basic Command design pattern, it’s very easy to adopt it to other aspects of your applications and allow functionality that users expect/demand.”.
Anyway… Ill leave you with the article and the great example… Im sure to play with this goody very soon

Nov 24th
How many… oh how many times you crash into the same subject again and again, you are given Mac fonts but hey… dont work in Windows :s … and most importantly… no Embedding in Flash as its only either TrueType or OpenType.
Well atleast now a blog post came as a nice surprise to me… a little opensource terminal app called “fondu”
just install via MacPorts or apt-get and go…
” fondu myFont.dfont ”
and the app will extract all your TrueType goodness into the same folder neat!
many thanks to…

git hooks – post-update
Nov 20th
For a while now I have been using Mercurial for my own personal version control system, been very happy and never really got dissapointed so far, hg-serve works really easy for serving your repository publicaly with its own menus and stuff… not visually engaging but does the job well.
Ive been trying and little by little I guess moving the git way… mostly to be honest because the world around me seems to use it, and because I really cant be bothered to try and master to version control systems at once, so Mercurial seems great and maybe even better… but More >
