		<title>Aaaaaand, the hibernation ends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, what a pleasant hiatus that was. Almost 3 months. However, no more! I shall get back to blogging random useless technical details about various things. I know you missed me really. So, what's happening next? Well, firstly, I'm temporarily turning to the Dark Side and getting a Nexus One. This shiny new toy should [...]]]></description>

		<title>How many bytes would a petabyte bite if a petabyte could bite bytes?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The CompactFlash association has just released a new specification for future CompactFlash cards. It involves big numbers. 144 petabytes big, to be specific. But how big is that really? 144 petabytes = 150,994,944 gigabytes. Production quality 1080p video: 3 gigabits per second which equals 0.375 gigabytes per second. So, using that: 150,994,944 / 0.375 = [...]]]></description>

		<title>The curious case of Eclipse, msysgit, and the obstinate dot files</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick tip if you are having problems with Eclipse, FDT or other Eclipse based tool and writing to dot files cloned from a git repository. If you are seeing messages about not have permission to write to ".project", ".as3_classpath" and so on, there's a reasonable chance that msysgit (or potentially TortoiseGit) automatically set [...]]]></description>

		<title>Compound operators, new and You.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pop quiz time! What appears on stage with the following code: public function newChild() :void { addChild(new CircleSprite()).x += 50; } Wrong. This is what appears: Of course, all you clever observant folks will have noticed that that the circle's x coordinate is being set using a compound operator, +=. That's the culprit in this [...]]]></description>

		<title>sh-zenburnish: SyntaxHighlighter Evolved, zenburn stylee</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, more real coding avoidance*. I hacked together a little SyntaxHighlighter Evolved colour scheme so that my eyes aren't offended when I post code in this blog. Here's an example with lines 5-7 highlighted: package dt.particles { import flash.display.Bitmap; import flash.display.BitmapData; import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.geom.Point; import flash.geom.Rectangle; /** * Particle manager. * * @author David [...]]]></description>

		<title>fb-zenburnish: A zenburn inspired colour scheme for FlashBuilder 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, in order to avoid any real coding at the weekend, I set about messing with the colours and settings within FlashBuilder 4 to turn it into something a little less searing on the eyeballs. These are the results: Certainly more soothing on my eyeballs anyway. You can grab the theme from: http://github.com/mnem/fb-zenburnish There are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Further ruminations on Adobe, Flash and mobile devices.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[[This entry was originally going to be a comment on Christopher Caleb's post, "Adobe's Mobile Strategy Fundamentally Flawed?", but I have an annoying habit of writing rather more than I have to, so I granted this corpulent comment a promotion to First Real Post.] Flash on mobile devices. It's an interesting prospect. Of course, it's [...]]]></description>
