Flash Builder getting in the way of work...

Today was not a good day at work. I found myself dealing more with getting my tool (Flash Builder) to do what I want than actually writing code. Flash Builder was giving me a lot of trouble which was a not-appreciated throwback to those college years when I was setting Eclipse for the first time. The problem (after much googling around) is that I was trying to debug a code that was not in sync with the SWF I was playing. The symptom is the following: “Breakpoint cannot be set here because there is no executable code at this line” Solutions (no particular order): Clear your browser’s cache. Chrome ⇧⌘Delete Safari ⌥⌘E Firefox: Tools > Clear Recent History > All IE: www.getfirefox.com The location you are debugging (your SWF) in is not the same as the one where your changes are compiling.

Current Work: ARIEL

ARIEL, OR Augmented Reality Experience Builder is my latest project. The project involved a software suite which will allow enhancements of museum exhibits by museum professionals. The project is currently being developed in C++ using OpenFrameworks and Nokia Qt as UI front end. The project will provide an easy way to create AR experiences into existing or new museum exhibits. The software does not need any programming or technical input and it is easy to use. My current work involves improving the existing code base, and integrating mathematical modeling features for the software. While a fellow programmer is dealing with the complexities of the mathematical representation and rendering using OpenGL, my work is to ensure that his work will integrate seamlessly into the existing code base.

Few changes to the website.

A couple of changes here and there, improved loading times by getting rid of some CSS that was part of the original template design. Nothing beats writing your own stuff, kids!
The "new" website is up and live!
