Review and recommendations: Book review: Fuzzy Nation by John Scalzi
http://sparrow-reviews.blogspot.com/2012/02/book-review-fuzzy-nation-by-john-scalzi.html
DVDs, Books and Graphic novels. Thursday, February 16, 2012. Book review: Fuzzy Nation by John Scalzi. Fuzzy nation by John Scalzi is a rewrite/reboot of the novel, Little Fuzzy by H. Beam Piper. While Little Fuzzy is in the public domain, Scalzi released Fuzzy Nation with the permission of the Piper estate. I have not read Little Fuzzy, so I do not know how it compares to the original. Seeing how well this book turned out, I now feel like reading the original Little Fuzzy, to see how they both compare.

Flex / As3 notes. Friday, June 18, 2010. If create a dynamic textfield and use non-embedded fonts, the alpha property will not do anything. The solution is to put the textfield in a container and set the blendMode property of that container to Layer. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Other blogs to check out:.

Flex / As3 notes: AS3: Using a String to access Object / Class properties and getDefinitionByName
http://flexbear.blogspot.com/2010/01/as3-using-string-to-access-object-class.html
Flex / As3 notes. Saturday, January 30, 2010. AS3: Using a String to access Object / Class properties and getDefinitionByName. Consider for example you have a wonderful asset library and have a great scheme of describing maps and such in XML. So you get a asset name from XML and now want to add it to stage. Remember you can access a Object property like so:. Import my assets.graphics;. Var grap:graphics = new graphics();. Var my prop:String = "wonderful img class"; /* Got from XML :p */.

Flex / As3 notes: AS3: Does my xml doc contain a attribute
http://flexbear.blogspot.com/2010/03/as3-does-my-xml-doc-contain-attribute.html
Flex / As3 notes. Friday, March 5, 2010. AS3: Does my xml doc contain a attribute. This is a simple check which increases the ease of using xml. If you have a xml file like so:. Root node some attribute=". In AS3 you can decide if a attribute exist by using the lenght() method. So code using the xml would be:. Var my xml:XML = some function to get xml();. If( my xml.@some attribute.length()! Trace("Yup, some attribute exists");. If( my xml.@some non existant attribute.length()! Other blogs to check out:.

DVDs, Books and Graphic novels. Sunday, January 15, 2012. Book review: Four fish: The future of the last wild food by Paul Greenberg. One of the strong points he make is that none of these fishes are suited for being cattle. It would be better to select species of fish more suited to that role, before we attempt to domesticate and farm them. All in all the book flows well, and is a brisk read. 5 / 5; Great. Get it.
