In the Twitterified Client, users can quickly perform some operations using mouse gestures. When I implemented this, I googled for ActionScript mouse gesture classes but only found one and it was a commercial package. I am sure that there are many ways to implement gestures, using rule engines, neural networks, etc. But, curious and optimistic as usual, I decided to [...]
I do not get it. I am a big fan of Smashing Magazine and I think that it was very nice of @jdevalk to write a plug-in that gives us full control over “Tweetbacks”. See this blog entry. Where Smashing Magazine and the author lose me, though, is that I have not seen any reaction, either on the magazine’s web [...]

Well, in fact, I had to take a four weeks-long break and it shows in the number of silly things I’ve played with. In no particular order: I improved this blog’s look [...]
I was working on a “quick add” tool for Toodledo — which I am liking more and more — and I assumed that my biggest challenge would be wiring a hotkey to my application — a can of worms in its own right.
