I flew into Utah last weekend and have been accompanied by sinus issues for a good week now. For unknown reasons, that has reminded me that I need to promote my classical inheritance in javascript. I’ve searched around and haven’t found anything like it on the web. I’m not trying to toot my own horn, I just see that there’s some value in js oop and it needs to be shared with my fellow webbies. There’s plenty of prototype oop, but none where you can run the parent’s super on the child. Continue reading
Dive Into OSMF
Working on a video player for a client and I decided to run with OSMF as the display for the player. They have used a lot of the same features in their players that I’ve created before for mine which has made my adoption rate of OSMF quick and dreamy. Props to the OSMF team on their creation.
Back to the City
Last week I flew back into NYC. I’m back doing some work and enjoying the summer. I’ve been slacking on my updates so I decided that I had better leave a note on my site today. Recently I’ve been doing some video work for multiple clients and I have decided to make an opensource player using an opensource framework I’ve been using lately. I’ll put it in the applications section when something is available.
HTML Canvas
I’ve been saturated in my canvas work lately in effort to cook up a useful framework for the js community. The project takes canvas & flash and makes for software that is easy for any developer to work it (and it runs on the iPhone!). I’m on the brink of developing the first major proof-of-concept app with it and will be sure to release it once it’s ready. As an additional note, this framework is going to be opensource.
Sweet Charity
The idea of probono work and charity work has been itching at my brain for some time now (as shown in my last update). I’ve already done some small charitable projects, but I think it’s time to do something HUGE! I’ve had an acquaintance talk to me a few times about the idea of seeking government grants to do humanitarian projects and I’m starting to cave. If any of you have good ideas, please send them to me — rollins.jackson@gmail.com
Giving Back
I’ve been on a community service kick lately. Not because it’s been ordered by the sate (come on now), but because I feel I’ve gained a lot from the information I have gained from others and now I would like to share information for the benefit of everyone else.
A Sign of Nerdiness
I was writing an email to a client when I noticed my email signature was in the wrong spot. I selected it, then copied it. Next I went to paste it in the correct spot, but pasted what had previously been in the clipboard. Apparently I haven’t obtained the skills to press “ctrl” and “c” simultaneously. Anyway, the text that was pasted was:
Logo of the Day
I was looking around a logos today and found a cool little site that picks a usually nifty logo every day to link on their site. I thought this was pretty cool so I decided to give them some SEO++ by linking them on my site. Check them out at http://logooftheday.com/
Will You Be My Valentine?
Boredom strikes again. Happy Valentine’s day. Continue reading
iPhone Passwords
I decided, about a week and a half ago, to create iPhone password fields in flash. It may not be tight as a drum, but it works pretty good. Take a look at the playground or at http://drupal.jacksonkr.com/node/43
