Freelance Web developer, blogger. Laquo; As Long as You Follow. Here’s to Taking It Easy. Apache VirtualHosts within an encrypted Ubuntu home directory. September 8, 2011 – 4:43 pm. Since deciding to work exclusively in a Linux environment. The inevitable day, however, came a couple of weeks ago when I royally screwed my system messing around with Python (solution in another blog post. Running the normal LAMP-server setup, Apache is unable to access files within the encrypted home. Then a far simpler sol...

Freelance Web developer, blogger. Laquo; Home Security. Here’s to Taking It Easy. Simple Python environments and package management. September 15, 2011 – 5:43 pm. I mentioned in my previous post that I borked my system meddling with Python. Having reset my workspace, I’ve now set up a solid system that makes handling projects and multiple development environments super simple. Since then however, I’ve found no need. So long as you think before you leap. In that sense, they’re great for beginners uncertai...

Freelance Web developer, blogger. Prototyping with Flask, templating with JSON and Jinja2. August 27, 2012 – 6:17 pm. In my last post. I put together a simple template server with Express. Running on Node for a current project. I only usually use Node for a few build tools and prefer Python on the back-end, so just for the sake of it, here’s a Python alternative. Is a light web framework and very easy to get going with. It’s useful for putting together pages and URL routes with minimal set-up. Method sen...

Freelance Web developer, blogger. Monthly Archives: January 2010. Wordpress, SEO and pimping my blog. January 12, 2010 – 12:43 pm. I thought with the turn of the new year and whatnot, I’d make a few improvements to my blog. I decided then to use WordPress’ custom fields. To add a descriptive ‘subtitle’ to each post that should shed some light on what I’m actually writing about and hopefully the titles should start making sense. I could have started anew and use descriptive titles from here on, but that w...

Blah blah Flex: File Sharing using Stratus (Part 1: Jozsef Vass example)
http://marcbc.blogspot.com/2009/03/file-sharing-using-stratus-part-1.html
Sunday, March 1, 2009. File Sharing using Stratus (Part 1: Jozsef Vass example). This days I've been playing with the new Stratus service. Introduced by Adobe with the Flash Player 10 release. Stratus is a service that enables Flash Player clients to connect directly point to point, to share data (audio, video, binary.). The article comes with a source code example which is really illustrative, which is a video conference application built in Flex, using the Stratus service. You can try it out here.

Monday, December 29, 2008. Keeping DataTips in Charts boundaries. Here goes a little trick I used for an application some time ago. The problem was that data tips that are displayed on mouse overing Flex Charts, fly over the Application content, and in some cases do not respect the visible boundaries of it. This effect can be undesired, and a usability problem because can make the information impossible to read in some situations. The attached application shows the problem in action. Feature has been add...

Tuesday, March 3, 2009. File Sharing using Stratus (Part 2: Send file example). As described in previous post. I was experimenting with the new Stratus service introduced by Adobe with the relase 10 of Flash Player. After going over the VideoPhoneLabs example by Jozsef. I was curious about trying to use the same approach for a different need, in this case a binary file transfer, having in mind P2P file sharing in Flash. Here it is the resulting app:. By a quick search, I came across this forum post.
