Hardware: RM Media HDD Player (REPOST)

Ever wonder would it be nice to just have rmvb, avi, mp4, and other format video files to be played in one device and it’s connected to TV? No, it’s not a lappy it’s the new RM Media HDD Player.

For some reason, these RM Media HDD Player is rare and only exist in countries like China, Taiwan and Japan. Recently, I been to Taiwan and decided to take a cab to their tech and gadget hub called, Ba De Lu. Finding this device was indeed kinda rare, I have to ask around to get it. Finally, a lady inside a PSP shop was selling it.

Each hdd player comes without hard drive, but even without hard drive, you can still plugin a usb flash drive with files to use it.

AS3: Scripting OnClick GetURL? (Where’s GetURL)

Another big suprise for AS3 is the missing GetURL where we used to script it on buttons to open up url. However that was replaced in ActionScript 3.0. We use navigateToURL instead.

Just follow the example when scripting your button. Remember like in previous tutorials, you need to add an eventlistener to your button to attached a function to it.

this.YourButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,openURL);
function openURL(event: MouseEvent)
{
	var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.isgoodstuff.com");
	navigateToURL(request);
}

Let’s Spry some AJAX!

What’s Spry? Spry is one of the “silent” AJAX framework that used to resides behinds the application of dreamweaver CS3. It is used by designers to develop AJAX applications using Dreamweaver.

This baby is quite a comprehensive and easiest to use high-level framework I’ve seen so far. You can actually use this open source framework like others because Adobe actually license it free.

However, the only problem is that; they aren’t much any good or simple examples for beginners (those that do not have Dreamweaver) to start with.

Adobe examples are some what mixed up hardcore example. Sometimes, is just good to start with simple samples first before going to hardcore samples.

Today’s post is about simple form validation samples. Now some of you may say, why yet another AJAX validation. Wait till you see what this framework has to offer.

Every time you connect to your wifi router, and after an few minutes or sometimes an hour if you are lucky disconnect and the router resets by itself.

Fine, SP1 is here upgraded…still the same problem; as for my case my pc just ain’t good enough for a SP1 upgrade (I got BSOD right after that) so, I stopped the automatic update upon reaching SP1. So, who’s the culprit?
