Gary Wolf: The quantified self

At TED@Cannes, Gary Wolf gives a 5-min intro to an intriguing new pastime: using mobile apps and always-on gadgets to track and analyze your body, mood, diet, spending -- just about everything in daily life you can measure -- in gloriously geeky detail.

MVC based Flex Gizmo

Some time back I had created this Histogram sample in Flash. This uses MVC to create two different views from the same data.

Today, thought of converting it to a Flex (Flash Builder) Project. Flex sample is uploaded here - http://www.shivolve.com/webdevign/flashplatform/histogram/bin-release/Gizmo.html

To view the source code, right click the application and then click View Source.

Opening popup from Flash in local environment

Recently I faced one strange problem while trying to open popup from Flash.

I was unable to open html popups with referral path. This was because, code "<!-- saved from url=(0013)about:internet -->" was there at the top of html page which restricts user to access/open popup in local environment. Though, it works fine when uploaded onto server.

Workaround:

Either you remove the line from the top of html file or simply change to read it as, "<!-- saved from url=(0013)about:local -->". In my case, the problem was solved.

Computers

It is unworthy of excellent men to lose hours like slaves in the labor of calculation which could be relegated to anyone else if machines were used.

Drupal: How to create a view with multiple terms?

I wanted to create a page that shows all the nodes tagged with any of the terms – Red, Green and Blue. After struggling a lot, I found something, so simple, that works for me.
 
1. Go to Administer > Views. You should be on the page http://localhost/drupal/?q=admin/build/views now.
2. Click the link tracker. You should now be on the page http://localhost/drupal/?q=tracker
3. Click the ‘Clone’ button to clone the Tracker view.

Man vs. Machine

One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man.

Counting

Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.
