It’s my birthday!

by eamonn on Sep.10, 2009, under about me

I am 26 tomorrow! Wow! I cannot believe that I am going to be 26 tomorrow.

There is so much going on, I feel kind of lost! We are organising the wedding, the house and just generally trying to live and are we swamped.

WE NEED A HOLIDAY! haha!

It should be okay soon. A friend is trying to get a cottage to stay in for a couple of nights after the wedding and I think we will sneak in another trip to Ragdale Hall. I wish they did frequent flyer/stayer points! ha ha

Social Networking

by eamonn on Sep.08, 2009, under development

I am really interested in getting into the social networking scene. If you have a project that is going to be put live on facebook or will use authorisation from openid, oauth, facebook connect or something similar give me a shout to see if I can help you out. I can develop in actionscript, php, java and python. I don’t mind learning something new too!

If I do not get a response I am going to setup a new project so subscribe to my rss and watch this space!

All change!

by eamonn on Sep.08, 2009, under development

As you can see I have a new theme installed! I have also cut down on the number of static pages on this site, to help the lazy people out there. I hope you like it. I didnt make it, credits to the people in the copyright notice :p

I am planning a blog post about utilizing Google apps, analytics and webmaster tools, so expect that soon! I was talking to a small business owner who wasn’t aware of the wealth that is Google so I want to help him and others so watch this space!

wtf is going on?

by eamonn on Sep.08, 2009, under about me

I feel sick! :( I am off work (bored) today with a dodgy stomach! I think I have eaten something that has disagreed with me! I want to do some developing but I cannot concentrate! Arghhh!

I have been sooo busy recently with the wedding plans! I have not really been able to get much else done! I think we are pretty much there now. We have to print place holders, the table plan and the favor labels, then I think that is it! We had a visit to the reception venue last night where we were given the wrong food to taste, again! Scary! We have to go back again now for a fourth tasting! :( Arghhh! It will all be worth it on the day!

It is about that time again…

by eamonn on Aug.22, 2009, under about me, development

Hey ho!

I have been pretty busy getting ready for my lfpug talk next month. It is my first public talk at a user group and I am a little nervous! I am sure a few drinks will help me through it. I have my own page on their site too. Check it out!

I have been reading my Refactoring to Patterns book. After reading through it, Reafactoring and Design Patterns I am longing to work on a new project! Where I can put all of this good reading into use!

I have been pretty busy looking at what is going on in the world too. I am looking for a meaty project to get involved in:

I spoke to a couple of the maintainers of flexcover and they have agreed to add me as a contributor for it. I have a patch to submit but I am struggling with setting up my environment. I need to run my unit tests and build the project before I can commit.

I am also really interested in getting involved with some open social projects. There is a pretty mature AS3 api on google code. I am interested in taking that further and getting a really bullet proof setup! But, I cannot say much incase somebody steals my plans! Muhahahaha!

I am pleased to read that some people are using my pligg oauth integration hack. I am thinking about moving it over to google code. There were a few teething problems with my initial release but i think it is okay now!

And finally, and most importantly! I have been preparing for my wedding. We had a tasting a couple of weeks ago which went well! We now have the suits! And the flower girls outfits! I am having my stag on Friday, so dont expect any updates around then!! The only thing left really is sorting out our new home which seems to be going well!

Apache Shindig and OpenSocial

by eamonn on Aug.15, 2009, under development

I have been reading about this recently and it seems really interesting. Here is an article outlining the archtecture for the php implementation.

With Shindig, it looks like you could have something like iGoogle running pretty quickly!

Log into Pligg using Twitter OAuth

by eamonn on Aug.08, 2009, under development

I am doing it! I am releasing my Pligg mod to get Twitter login working. I have stuck to the smarty way where possible (excluding errors :p). It is my first hack so bear with me. There are instructions included in the attached zip file but I would really suggest you read the following:

OAuth getting started guide
Twitter OAuth FAQ

What I am up to…

by eamonn on Aug.08, 2009, under development

Hey,

I haven’t blogged for some time. I will be more active from now on (I have said that before). I have been busy planning our wedding and we are buying a house. We have been approved by the bank and we just have to sit tight and wait to do all the legal stuff.

I have been busy in the actionscript world too. I have been using asaxb and am loving it! I have also put my name down to do a talk at lfpug in October (wish me luck for that). I may post a preview here before hand. I have left my checkstyleas3 project as the almighty Joa Ebert has beat me to it. I was trying to use the flex sdk compiler modifying the asdoc configuration but he has been more successful! I think he used antlr.

I am now onto other things. I have started up a site called flashthings. I used Pligg CMS to generate the site and wrote my own Twitter login. I will post this mode soon! Here I am going to be posting peoples work that I feel are good and linking to projects that I have come across. Feel free to sign up and add some stuff too! Here I also want to build up a list of meetups in the flash world so watch that space! I also have a page which watches twitter for flash activity and posts what is going on. Beware it is unfiltered! Ha Ha.

Oh well! That is it for now. I will post more very soon!
