One of the most annoyning things in Expression Engine is the use of index.php everywhere, but there are several tricks to remove it. All of them can be found on this wiki page. I used the LG .htaccess Generator extension and haven't looked back since.
So I was going to do a year in review post, but so much bad shit has happen within the last couple weeks to me and those around me that I decided I didn't want to depress myself before the holidays.
I finally made my first AIR app today. It's a simple Excel to XML file converter I made for work. I decided to use Flash CS3 to build it because I thought it would be easy, boy was i wrong. CS3 doesn't have any internal AIR documentation even after installing the SDK. You do get code hinting, but that's only helpful if you know everything about the API. So I had to find a copy of Flex's AIR documentation and use that for reference. CS4 apppears to have AIR documentation inside of it; however, CS4 tries to grab the documentation from online instead of using the local copy (There is a perference for that, but its hidden).
Google makes some pretty cool stuff and its generally is well engineered, except for that Android bug. I recently had to use Google's Flash map component. First of all, they need to make an MXP so it installs correctly instead of having users manually place it in the components directory which is hidden deep in the filesystem. Second, some of their documentation is utter crap. The Marker class has a property called gravity. I have no idea what it does, but it sounds interesting. So after consulting the documentation i found this little gem of a description:
A Number value that specifies marker gravity factor.
Why bother even wasting your time writing that, its a totally worthless description.
