Hey Dave, yup I noticed that change was made. I have an update in the works that I can hopefully submit to Apple soon. In the meantime here's an open source repo with the change made if that helps: https://github.com/britg/Ne...

Hah, I forgot when Bill had mentioned it -- ok, I promise it's changed now.

Thanks! I've got an app in the works but it's slow going. I hope to have it done soon, and I'll definitely make a post about it.

Thanks! Good call. I'll definitely add this to the next version.

I don't know, as I'm only running 10.6 -- Let me know if you're running something else and it doesn't work.

Thanks! Ok, good to know. I'll work on multiple account management next!

Thanks! I'm planning to add a few more features and put it on the Mac App Store. If that doesn't work out, I'll share it on github for sure. In the mean time, you can check out this older project that's open source: https://github.com/crossfor...

Re: TotalFinder 1.0 - a sneak peek

Quite possibly the funniest thing I have ever seen. Bravo, bravo.

Re: Quick Look: WebGL and Web Sockets

Hey Pl4n3 -- awesome that you're working on an RTS in WebGL! Your demo throws an error in Webkit nightlies, though -- "Error: 0:3: 'uniform' : cannot initialize this type of qualifier" (with wegGL enabled)

Which browser are you recommending for the demo?

Re: TotalFinder with tabs!

Awesome work! Looking forward to try this out. I appreciate your walking through your development process -- very interesting, indeed.

Thanks for clarifying. I'll update the post to point to your clarification.

Glad you like the theme, but I can't really take any credit for it, haha. It's from Woothemes.com -- Bueno: http://www.woothemes.com/20...

Re: Server Side Javascript Continued – Node.js (plus example)

britg — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 16:39:41 -0000

Hey John - from your console output, it looks like you are making requests to the wrong script.

"example.js:28 ..."

The name of the script, if you used the same copy from the github repo, should be 'gamelobby.js'

Let me know if that helps!

Re: Server Side Javascript Continued – Node.js (plus example)

britg — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 13:47:44 -0000

Very cool, will watch its progress on github :) I like the Sinatra-esque lightweight approach.

Re: Server Side Javascript Continued – Node.js (plus example)

britg — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 10:34:49 -0000

True, I plan to make some updates, the first of which is to use POST on the /join URL and enforce it. Also, I will implement a reaper process to clear stale joins.

Re: Nginx Proxies with FirePHP

britg — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 09:30:22 -0000

And yes, I think Jack support is a great move for the project -- I think it'll find more adoption on Jack than Jaxer. Nothing wrong with Jaxer, but I have a feeling that Jack will be widely adopted going forward just because of it's WSGI/Rack approach.

Re: Nginx Proxies with FirePHP

britg — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 09:25:23 -0000

Very cool project you put together! I will definitely give it a try -- I'm finding that I can't live without FirePHP now. I'm sure that will carry over to my server-side JS projects and this sounds like the perfect solution. Cheers!

Interesting, thanks for pointing me to those two projects. Perservere looks very interesting, and I immediately associated it with CouchDB because of the RESTful HTTP interface and JSON storage. But two bullets that jumped out at me that I don't know that CouchDB can tout yet is (plus I'm sure there are many more differences):

# Comet-based data monitoring capabilities through HTTP Channels with Bayeux transport plugin/negotiation support

# Data-centric capability-based object level security with user management, Persevere is designed to be accessed securely through Ajax with public-facing sites

Re: Three Cheers for CakePHP Backwards Compatibility

britg — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 12:01:49 -0000

Yeah, I agree about ActionScript camel casing. Some languages just _feel_ like they should be camelcased and other _feel_ like they are underscored -- usually correlated to whether they are OO or not.

No problem, Ryan. Thanks for writing the plugin!

Re: Integrating CakePHP with bbPress – Part 1

britg — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 09:19:21 -0000

Well, my first approach when I get time to revisit would be to use the same
cookie mechanism i'm already using in my cake app - namely the cookie
handler. I usually dont rely just on Sessions for my user login, but set a
cookie also.

I would extend the Cookie handler built into cake to tap into the same
libraries that BBPress is using (either by duplication or inclusion), and
when I set my cake cookie I also set a BBPress cookie, and a session
variable if BBPress requires one.

Hope that helps - and yes, I apologize that I have not finished part 3 - it
kills me as well!

Re: It’s hard to like the PHP ‘Elite’ *UPDATE from Terry

britg — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 15:25:28 -0000

Ouch, that's unfortunate that it got posted before you could finish your train of thought. I've redacted my "this guy doesn't get it" statement - the rest of your argument is a lot more thought out. Are you going to pub it on your blog? Won't get heard here.

Re: Integrating CakePHP with bbPress – Part 1

britg — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 11:18:20 -0000

No, unfortunately I haven't taken the time to finish this out or the project
that this was for! I really hope to revisit soon.

God yeah it's damn smooth and the hint of Vanilla is the kicker.

Re: Integrating CakePHP with bbPress – Part 2

britg — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 09:10:11 -0000

Thanks, yes I really intend to write part 3 - but unfortunately the project
I was doing this for has been put on hold for the moment!

Re: Who Google Chrome Affects the Most: Adobe

britg — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 07:57:06 -0000

Haha, yes good points all around. I do agree that this is a good thing for
web developers in general because it does force Adobe to keep up with speed
and accessibility of ajax in flash.

In response to your Microsoft point - they don't necessarily have to adopt
Google's technology for V8 to have an affect on Adobe. Since MS and Google
are so competitive, I can see a scenario where Microsoft comes out with
their own new-fangled js engine that touts more and better features than V8
etc, etc. This will lead to the web tech conversation switching tone from
"ajax vs flash" to "google's js tech vs MS's js tech". This is bad for
Adobe.

I do agree with you that flash isn't going anywhere even in this scenario.
It's all up to Adobe and where they take the platform.
