May I just take a moment to vent my extreme frustration with the Facebook Developers API? Cardinal rule of development that you should change the public interface unless it’s a last resort. Facebook, who has made a practice of changing their API almost regularly, has got its application developers jumping through hoops just to keep old projects functioning properly. Read more

Flash File Uploader – Ïñtèrñàtíðñàl Çhàråçtêrs
A [d]online reader pointed out my ethnocentricity recently, in that the Flash File Uploader, which I’ve offered for free for years, did not include any functionality for retaining accents for international characters. This has been fixed and re-uploaded in a new .rar file of this project. For your convenience, the link is the same as the last one.
Comments and feedback always welcome. Thanks again, Mike, for the assistance and to [d]online commenter, Gerald, for pointing this to my attention.

Stamen Design
I came across this site when Sean McDonald forwarded me a link to SF MOMA’s brilliant new site “SF MOMA ArtScope”. (Which, while, functionally, it takes a little while to figure out, the feature-packed design makes it an absolute pleasure to navigate and learn about the collection of modern art on the left coast).
Flash File Uploader – MS Office Files
The Flash File Uploader – Custom Directories .fla and .swf files have been modified to include “Microsoft Office Files (.xls, .xlsx, .doc, .docx, .csv, .tab)” and this option is in the index.php pipe-separated Flash variable with the identifier of “office”.
Cooliris 3DWall
Somehow I happened upon this weird, but fun gadget that “transforms your browser into a ligntning fast, cinematic way to discover the web”.
It’s a plug-in for Firefox and other browsers that turns web pages with media into a PaperVision3D-style gallery with functions for zoom, play (if movies), share and more. It’s also a thinly-veiled method for getting you to install a product-oriented shopping plug-in, but that’s besides the point. Frankly, I wouldn’t have any use for browsing the web in 3D and want my shopping experience to be unbiased, personally-driven and bells-and-whistles-free, but hell, it’s still fun to watch the video. Sorta reminds me of the Airtight TiltViewer.
Flash File Uploader v3.11 – Details Bugfix
Due to old code in the the index.php file, the details checkbox wasn’t displaying file information and thumbnails for file lists in custom directories. This has been fixed and re-uploaded in a new .rar file of this project. The link is the same as the last one.
