Why closures are useful
Over here, there is some analysis of some crazy debate over adding closures to Java. It’s funny how the posts focus on closures being a means to circumvent the for loop. You could do that with good ole Functions as first class objects. Closures are cool for so many other reasons. For example: private function main():void { var errorLabel:Label = new Label();...

Flex Camp
Went to Flex Camp Boston yesterday. Drive was terrible. The sessions were mostly fluff and needed to be short to fit them all in. Did come away with a few things: Optimize by keeping a display list model of what is current showing and only update that. Only mock objects in a unit test if the consumer does not know they are mocked Do we need to be so granular with events when using Caringorm? ...

Things I want to do: (an ever-changing list)
Take a course/self-study compiler design Research consciousness and the self-model more and write down formally the thoughts that have been brewing in my head for some time Think more about Systems Dynamics and come to some conclusions about what I think Jay Forrester’s address at the ISDC means to the SD community Write a short story that abstractly represents a strong feeling that I have...
Been busy...
Got back from 5 days at the International System Dynamics Conference Thursday evening. It was good to be there and demo the work I have been doing, but also exhausting. The last day we ran a couple of workshops for teachers and new users. I love doing those because it’s great to see people get so excited about the potential of the software and what they can do with it. Sadly they will...

Adobe, Flex and 3rd Party Libs
This is a rant so be forewarned. Flex is great. Adobe is cool. I’ll preface this with that. The project that I’m working on uses a few 3rd party Flex libraries. as3corelib, (for JSON en/de-coding), as3flexunit, and the almighty Cairngorm. These libs, all from Adobe, are inconsistent in their distribution and viable use within FlexBuilder, (the IDE for Flex based on Eclipse). We...

Osama's Letter To America
I read this for the first time today: A letter to America It’s interesting. The scary thing is that it shows how people who believe in faith-based religions and holy books can really take the writings and apply them to whatever their cause is. I notice he quotes the Quran throughout as justification for violence. There are others that say Isalm, (or Christianity, Judaism, etc), is a...

RIAs
So I’ve been working on a RIA (Rich Internet Application), for some time now. The whole idea behind an RIA is to create an application that runs within browser “plug-in” and thus has more power and capability *on the client* than you get with HTML/Javascript. There have been all sorts of cool web applications for some time that do lots of cool things *on the server*. The cool...
