If I talked to god he?d tell me why
There?s something going on
Dark people walking by
This morning is the day after the next
Escape my only dream
Cos I?m the only one again

But life is better spent inside your world
Butterfly that sings
Causes me to fall once more
Tomorrow you are only half a friend
Machines control your mind
And neon strips above my head

Come tomorrow, come tomorrow
There?s never been an answer
There?s always someone else to follow
And you are coming down, and you are coming down
Giving me the reasons for your lies

And when you turn me inside out
Don?t know what you feel or dream about
And then you take me upside down
Remember my face, my name, my town

When i think of god he knows my mind
I?m wondering what?s wrong
What will the devil find
Tomorrow you will find there?s no way out
With nowhere left to turn
There?s no place left to hide from him

In a city made of sand
We found our way out
But without a helping hand
We?re free

Turn me inside out
Don?t know what you dream about
Take me upside down
Take me, take me
And you turn me inside out
Don?t know what you dream about

First download the symfony 1.4.x tarball from http://www.symfony-project.org/installation/1_4 I downloaded 1.4.5 for example. Then type in the terminal :

$ tar -zxf symfony-1.4.5.tgz
$ mkdir -p lib/vendor
$ mv symfony-1.4.5 lib/vendor/symfony

This will make the lib/vendor/symfony structure with the contents of the tarball. You can now dispose of the tarball with rm symfony-1.4.5.tgz . Now you can generate a new project like so:

./syfmony generate:project snake

Now create a new placeholder application by typing

./symfony generate:app frontend

We need to type now this command to link to the right graphics too:

ln -s /<absolute.path.to>/lib/vendor/symfony/data/web/sf web/sf

Now configure the database connection by editing the file config/databases.yml:

all:

doctrine:

class: sfDoctrineDatabase

param:

dsn:      mysql:host=db_hostname;dbname=db_title

username: database_user

password: password

Edit your database/model schema at config/doctrine/schema.yml like so:

Link:
columns:
url: { type: string(256), notnull:true }
title: { type: string(256), notnull:true }    title:

and type:

s doctrine:build –all –and-load

to build the database sql, run the sql script, create the model and load the fixtures (if you have any) and thus replace anything that was there already. You are good to go. Enjoy your coffee now. You can code now

This is a tutorial series that will try to introduce you to the flixel sdk one step at a time. So here we go with part 1.

Flixel tutorial part 1: Set up flixel for Flex.

This part is for OS X users of Flex 3.0 IDE.

Step 1: Download the latest flixel version from http://github.com/AdamAtomic/flixel/archives/master and save on your favorite location on your disk.

Step 2: Start Flex and select File -> New -> ActionScript Project

Step 3: Type your project name (Tutorial_01) and store at a convenient location

Step 4: Click on “Next” button (not Finish) and at the source path field add the path to the library you downloaded from step 1 (you expanded it right?) and then click Finish

That’s it.. you’re done!.. well almost since you aren’t using the library just yet. The Flex IDE created a file titled “Tutorial_01.as” which we’ll have to replace so replace it with this one:

package {
	import org.flixel.*;

	[SWF(width="640", height="480", backgroundColor="#000000")]

	public class Tutorial_01 extends FlxGame
	{
		public function Tutorial_01()
		{
			super(640,480,PlayState,1);
			FlxG.debug=true;
		}
	}
}

In the first lines we use a 640×480 canvas with black color and later on we pass control to the class “PlayState”. We didn’t define Playstate did we? No!. So Select File -> New -> ActionScript Class and at the window that will appear type Name: PlayState, Superclass: FlxState and hit Finish. Now paste inside this one the following:

package
{
	import org.flixel.*;

	public class PlayState extends FlxState
	{
		public var myText:FlxText;
		override public function create():void
		{
			myText=new FlxText(0,30,100,"Hello, World!");
			add(myText);
		}
	}
}

What we do here is we create a new FlxText object called myText to print on screen “Hello, World!” and then we pass it to the game engine to attach it to the rendering loop with the add() function. We don’t need to use the update() function yet as we don’t change anything yet.

Flixel uses states to manage the code. This means that when you are for example in the main screen you should create a separate FlxState called Intro and write code there on what should happen and then pass control to another FlxState called for example PlayState which will have the main game code.

Although we didn’t write much you will notice that if you click on the flash area (to activate it) and then hit ~ then you will see the flixel console (we enabled it using FlxG.debug=true). You will be able to see the flixel library version you are using and the fps you are reaching (frames per second). In the time of writing I get 58-62fps (it’s trying to stay to 60 fps) and flixel version 2.21.

This concludes part 1 of this series. Stay tuned for more

3. Make sense?

In the design and computing industries there are many forces trying to compete with each other in order to find the next big thing. In most cases they all fail. Apple has managed through all these years, especially after the “comeback” of Steve Jobs to stay ahead of the competition. The solution to being ahead is not to produce revolutionary products but to evolve and re-iterate until the final product feels flawless from all aspects.

Apple so far has managed to pull many surprises on the design sector. The same counts for the end user experience. In order to deliver you need to listen and research. Creating something because YOU like it doesn’t mean that the whole world will too.

During the last 3 years and after the iPhone research team produced the end product there was much speculation on what Apple will come forward with. In the last 24 months there was an outbreak of rumors of epic proportions. The last 12 months all hell broke loose. So what IS coming?

Apple is selling pro and consumer products on the axis of software solutions. The big companies buy the expensive pro suites but the real money comes from the consumers. The last update to the iLife suite brought face recognition and geospatial metadata to your media. A dare move almost two years before other companies had market-ready products. Last year Apple wanted to dedicate developer resources to cloud computing and storage and bought some related small-sized companies too. If we only had this then tomorrow would be the day the cloud computing was born for consumers. The day that iLife and iWork, together, as an office and home productivity suite started living on the same cloud. And us the users enjoying the view from any computing device on the world. Including the iPhone. If MobileMe was documents to take away tomorrow your apps would be to take away. And together with a special version of the AppleStore, more developers might be able to sell cloud applications for pennies.

But this is not the case. Jobs in an interview confessed that when the hardware exists they will unleash the real deal to the consumers. But that was on the OS X 10.4 era. With 10.6 they managed to move forward by pushing the boundaries of optimization and letting the hardware finally do some work. Since 10.6 developers are rallying to compute more and more stuff in order to get ready for the 10.7 era. 10.7 is coming sometime in 2011. The most realistic date is September 2011 and it will have to show what at least Apple can do with the technology innovations they introduced with 10.6. But what happens till then?

The hardware to produce the Apple iPad is already here long time ago. The iPhone was only the testbed for the new era on the hardware. Recent revelations introduced us to a new processing unit capable of doing much more than Intel or AMD are able to do with only a tiny fraction of the energy they require to do so. And is leading as the only one being able to use all this juice. 10.6 and iPhoneOS 3.x was the first to benefit from this research. iPhoneOS 3.x is based on 10.4 but it combines technologies from 10.6.

In the next days the iPhone will become the entry level on computing for consumers, bringing technology to the illiterate. A new computing device will take the place between the iPhone and the computer. This is what at least the mass of speculations realize. The device is supposedly based on iPhoneOS 4.x which will come sometime after the summer and will bring new features to the (now old) iPhone devices. More services for the consumers. Probably the ability for some lucrative developers to host their apps on the cloud too, but this will come after September with demos this summer at the already sold out WWDC 2010.

The new device won’t do much of the computing we are used to do on the desktop computers but it will be able to cope with everyday computing needs of the masses. That means web connectivity, archiving, browsing and publishing of personal media like photos and videos. The ability to store them online and edit them on the cloud. The computing to edit offline is already here but for the final touch the tasks will probably be pushed on the cloud. Syncing with the iPhone and the computers should be a child’s play and social networking services will start booming on the device. Media consuming (newspapers, tabloids, magazines) will of course be included on the package since it’s already possible through the AppleStore and Apple proved that they can deliver. The same counts for off-the-cloud apps (off- and online).

The iPad itself won’t be sold before the summer but users will have a first preview tomorrow if God (Steve) permits. The price should be around 800-1100, with a sweet spot being at 999 $ and an introduction first edition at 1200 with the second version next year at 999$.

We have less than 24 hours from now. Grab some cola and popcorn and enjoy the show!

This is not the first time I am trying the experiment. The last time I tried the results were astonishing. It’s already a very stressful period but I am hoping the best. I will try posting on fb every 24 hours milestone in the hope that I don’t loose faith in me. Others made it before me so it shouldn’t be that hard to convince myself. I will try to add some low bpm exercises later on to the schedule but for the first week I already have enough stress for now.

Ξεκίνησα σήμερα “την” παρουσίαση. Σήμερα το απόγευμα με τον και χτες ξέφυγε λίγο το μάτι μου σε μια περιοχή που καιρό έψαχνα αλλά δίσταζα να κινηθώ. Νιώθα αρκετά έτοιμος για το επόμενο βήμα πλέον. Ο Σεπτέμβριος είναι κοντά αλλά πρώτα προέχουν οι διακοπές του Αυγούστου σε “ερημικό” “νησί”. Μετά φόρτσα τα πανιά.

Με χαροποίησαν πάρα πολύ τα κακά μαντάτα από τον Πόλο. Όλα πάνε σκατά!.. Τέλεια! Είναι τρομερό πως γυρίζει ο τροχός. Ήμουν προφητικός από την αρχή, αλλά ζούμε σε μια εποχή που κοιτάμε τον προφήτη στα δόντια και όχι στα μάτια. Ας είναι. Έχουν γνώση οι φύλακες…

Το 2009 (φτού, να μην το ματιάξω) φαίνεται πως είναι μπήκε καλά και συνεχίζει να πηγαίνει καλύτερα. Από Οκτώβριο που θα βελτιωθούν και τα οικονομικά εκθετικά θέλω να βάλω 2 πραγματάκια στη σειρά.

Όλα με τη σειρά τους..
… προς το παρόν η παρουσίαση…

First of all you have to figure out your ip address. There are several ways to do it. You can go get it from AppleMenu->SystemPreferences->Network->Advanced->TCP/IP or you can type at the Terminal.app:

ifconfig -a

now search for the part for en1 (Mac OS X’s wireless connection is on the interface called en1) or simply type

ifconfig -a|grep inet -B1|grep en1 -a1

you should get something like

ifconfig -a|grep inet -B1|grep en1 -a1
--
en1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.64 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255<br

We will now do some sniffing and we will exclude our own address from the data, so at the Terminal.app type

sudo tcpflow -s -c -i en1 host not 192.168.1.64

It will ask you for your password etc etc. What it does is this

-s

Strip non-printables. Convert all non-printable characters to the “.” character before printing packets to the console or storing them to a file.

-c

Console print. Print the contents of packets to stdout as they are received, without storing any captured data to files (implies -s ).

-i

Interface name. Capture packets from the network interface named iface. If no interface is specified with -i , a reasonable default will be used by libpcap automatically.

So we are basically asking to present us on screen what happens using our wireless interface (en1) as our source. The next part (host not xxxx) is restricting the process by excluding our own address and thus we can monitor if someone else is using our wireless connection.

If you see anything beyond this point then you are not alone on your network (you can exclude more addresses you know like printers and other computers using “not host 10.10.10.10 and 10.10.10.1″. You get the picture I hope)

What you can do beyond this point is try driftnet. Driftnet is a modern EtherPEG clone. EtherPEG was a small hack to show the images (jpegs) your co-workers were viewing on your network. It was rewritten for OSX but now it’s broken for Leopard (10.5). So you need something more fresh.

Driftnet is here to help your needs. Please read the man page first. The fun part is at just peeking, so by simply invoking at the Terminal.app:

sudo driftnet -i en1  host not 192.168.1.64

you will be able to see what the highjacker sees online (!)by using X11 technology to display the images. If you want to be mean then you can try

sudo driftnet -i en1 -a -s -d . host not 192.168.1.64

which will store all the images and mpeg media (audio tracks) on the current folder (you should better create an empty one before you do this). The titles of the files stored will be written on the terminal for you to see that something is actually happening.

By this point you should be clearly very frustrated you can’t find these commands on your Terminal.app. You should use fink and install them from there (very easy).

So I opened the MacBook myself since it was already after midnight and cleared the fan from the inside. The MacBook now runs fine and rotates at 3000 rpm with <50C (quite cool since the ambient temperature is 35C) with a movie playing and NNW & Mail running at the background.

My configuration has a WiFi router (LinkSys WRT54GL) and at least one Vista laptop. There is much bull* regarding that WEP is broken in Vista or that it’s incompatible. The truth is that Vista changed the delay between negotiations to the wireless router and this creates some problems since it timeouts too soon.

The solution

This solution is for the WRT54GL router using Firmware: DD-WRT v23 SP2 (09/15/06) std but any other router with this option should do the trick.

Navigate through the web-based interface to Wireless -> Basic Settings -> Wireless -> Sensitivity Range (ACK Timing)

You should see an option of “2000″ and maybe an explanation of “2000 meters” lower this value to something more sensible like “50″ or “200″ and Vista WILL connect if this is the problem (99.9% of the cases).

The explanation again is that Vista timeouts too soon and the router doesn’t and so Vista hangs up on the router with a message “wireless association failed because windows did not receive any response from the wireless router or acess point”. Again, changing to 64-bit or 128-bit encryption is NOT the problem, neither is to change from passphrase to predefined passkey.
