Getting itemRenderer position in an Advanced dataGrid
I was working on a project that required me to replicate MS Access type functionality, in Flex. One of those tasks was clicking into a cell in the datasheet view and knowing what column I selected, so that I could change that column’s datatype. I also have to know which cell specifically was clicked so [...]
Timetracking challenge, complete!
And the winner is!
Harvest!
What brought Harvest in for the win? Namely the free acct, since I don’t do enough concurrent projects the price for the basic was bit steep at this time. But more than that, the iPhone/iNewton interface was nice, and the invoicing, superb.
Freshbooks invoicing was my biggest sticking point. Getting a PDF to [...]
Been a little quiet
What with 360|Flex San Jose in under 30 days, planning Ignite Denver getting officially started, working on a really cool project for UM, keeping busy on The Flex Show, oh and trying to have a life, man oh man.
360|Flex: We’re in the home stretch, which means spending money, mainly. Ordering shirts, books, signage, plenty of [...]
Follow up to my Time tracking quest
So I’ve been playing around with a few options and so far it’s narrowed down to two: Harvest, and Freshbooks.
Harvest has a few really good “pros” I like that I don’t have to email the invoice to myself under the clients name in order to get access to it as a PDF. That’s huge. I [...]
Time tracking and billing, whatchu usin
I think Sean Corfield asked this question a while back, I remember following it with interest. Now it’s my turn to bring it up again. I’ve been using my home grown solution for years. I really like it, but in moving servers and such, it’s had problems. The admin section doesn’t work since the stored [...]
Inverting an Axis on a chart
I had a case on my latest project where I had a chart that needed to not start at 0,0 as most do. Rather this chart, and the data it represented needed to have it’s Y Axis inverted. The better numbers were closer to the bottom, and higher in value. 0 was bad.
I did some [...]
Long time no post
The other day my wife IM’ed me, “Your blog is broken or something.” turns out, when you don’t post in like 2 months, it has nothing to show.
It’s been a busy few months; Tom and I wrapped up 360|Flex Europe, and immediately dove into 360|Flex San Jose 2008. After Milan, my wife and I spent [...]
So I have a MacBook AIR now.
I still wouldn’t buy one with my own money. It’s just too specialized.
Tom and I ordered them for using at the conferences. We typically use our personal machines, which is great, but mine is a MBP, and his is some kind of 12 ton windoze thing, neither are light by any means.
So this way we [...]
Time Management SQL Script
Hope everyone had a good Turkey Day.
I finished the SQL for the TMC. Creates the tables and stored procs and creates an admin user.
Don’t be shy to ask questions.
Link to file.
Flex Project… Go!!
I was talking to a friend and he was saying he’s starting a flex project of his own. Get a more concrete grasp on the technology. Makes sense to me. While I wait for Roundpeg to land some Flex work I can do I figure I should experiment on my own.
So starting next week I [...]
