Today I learned a new acronym: NUX, which stands for "New User Experience".

When you plug in old hard drives from the XP-era, I've found that Windows 7 tends to freak out just a bit. The solution is to fix the permissions. The best command for this I have found so far is:

 icacls * /grant <WinUserName>:F /T /C /L /Q

SO let me to YUI Compressor, an impressive JavaScript code minimization tool.

Rust looks like a pretty interesting language. Found via lambda the ultimate.

Just a test

Vrapper, Vim-like editing in Eclipse

This looks like it might be really nice!

Back to blogging after Velocity to be read later.

WinSCP is pretty nice.

Figuring out how to generate documention for ActionScript 3/Flex 4 code using Adobe's ASDoc tool from within Flash Builder has been quite a journey.

Helpful information:

• http://www.peterelst.com/blog/2009/06/08/flash-builder-4-beta-exporting-asdoc-documentation/ This was the most helpful resource that I found! Found by searching Google for "Flash Builder" asdoc

• http://wiki.github.com/viatropos/style/workflow-tips Solution to ASDoc errors, found by googling for asdoc "[Fatal Error] toplevel.xml"

• All the text content in the comments must resolve to valid HTML. For example, <code>&lt;myname@example.com&gt;</code> does not validate with the SAX parser that ASDoc uses, so you would instead need to do <code>&amp;lt;myname@example.com&amp;gt;</code>. Also the character &amp; by itself is invalid, use &amp;amp; instead.

Things that didn't work:

• The program called "ASDocr" wouldn't even install.
• the instructions at undefined-type.com/2008/11/asdoc-with-flex-compiler/ were good, but for a

• stackoverflow.com/questions/129405/can-i-use-doxygen-to-document-actionscript-code Basically, it's not a good idea to use DoxyGen for AS3. DoxyGen can word wonferfully for other things though..

I have many fond memories of hours spent with my younger sister and brother playing The Legend of Kyrandia. pics
