After finally trying out my nike/ipod kit, i was disappointed with the very sluggish website, having to go to a website to check your stat is absolutely ridiculous, after looking around on my ipod i found the location to where the data is stored and to my surprise it was XML ? omg, lolz, wtf ? quite understandable since they have a flash app on their website and obviously easiest way to recognize such data ? xml. Anyway for some reason i had a feeling data would be accessible easily, i was looking forward to writing a parser but this is such a given. Anyway using flex i was easily able to access the data, which is stored in a unique folder for each user, i came across this by asking the user to select the drive and entering the folder,[pic] which is a bit so so, i had to use sharedObjects for this, the whole aspect of this would be an offline version ! but problem being now, each run is stored in a seperate XML ! I had to resort to Air/Flex3 to make use of fileStreams, now i think i can easily use getDirectories to find the unique folder but saying that ive to overcome obstacle off putting it all in one xml but even after that using that data to animate graphs and goal type widgets ? and after all this having to install AIR platform to use this? just as bad as yahoo widgets :/
Anyway i found links to Nike API so it will be easier to just make an online app, think il try both.

EDIT: i just achieved a really important milestone in this project, i can now store the several run .xml files in one .xml file , each ‘run data’ with a separate id tag, AND to think i thought this was impossibly yesterday, i just need to work on displaying infinite data on some flex charts and then we are on to the fun part.

About time !!!! Watch Trailer HERE

To access the fontSize property of a Label [and i assume Text] component you cant just call LabelID.fontSize. The Flex 2 API clearly puts the fontSize property under the Style category therefore to access this property we must
LabelID.setStyle(”fontSize”,9);.
This comes under great use when text is populated and turns out to be LONGER than expected, in which case LabelID.text.length can be used alongside to tackle this problem.
Another Solution here is to set the width of the Label, with this truncateToFit=”true” is automatically set to on and when the text is longer than expected it is cut off before the stated width and on roll over , the tool tip displays the entire text.

So after a long wait over the summer PRISON BREAK Season 3 is finally aired, Sky One bying the rights restricts any other channel in UK airing the show until they do so but luckily for the irish the series is broadcast by RTÉ Two who started Season 3 on September 20, 2007, making it the first country outside of the United States and Canada to air it. Getting back to Prison Break i think the writers turned out to be more intelligent than credited, they gave us something new in Season 2 and now back to the basics. I hate having to

After wasting endless hours looking for the BEST controller, i came across the pelican PS2- PS3 , after further speculation its been said that even that does not work properly, i have not tried the straight XBOX - USB convertors but i have not heard anyone speak of them either? Anyway heres an even better FREE solution.
All you need is an USB extension cable [or printer or those camera cables [i used my psp one] ]
The USB cable wire supposedly are the same color AS your xbox controller wire. For some reason this is not the case for your SFAC stick, it consists of different coloured wires.
Anyway butchered both my controllers to see whats what. So without further due, follow this simple tutorial here [basically just spoon feeds you the fact you have join usb wires to xbox wires] TUTORIAL

Above tutorial is about a standard xbox controller, we - however have different coloured wires in our SFAC stick, so without further due, CLICK . So
SFAC[blue] -> USB [red]
SFAC[pink] ->USB[white]
SFAC[green] -> USB[green]
SFAC[blackish] -> USB[black]
SFAC[grey] = extra [leave as, tape it up]

make sure wires dont hit each other, join them up and tape each individually and then all together, and viola, NO stupid convertors, no lag, easily config !!! works fantastic on MAME. AMAZING
Connect up your usb after wiring and winXP should pick it up and ask you to install the hardware, keep pressing next [automatically find drivers] you may need to click CONTINUE anyway at a warning message, windows will basically install the drivers twice, after that install the following official XBOX pc mod drivers LINK

So finally a gimmic to motivate all those size zero people out there, i myself already addicted [i am addicted - it true] to running find this extraordinary. Who wants to run an empty countless world, nothing to show for it ? you run, woopdido. Good for you sir. I finally google earth my old running ground, i circle my neighborhood estate twice, giving me up to 3.6 miles worth of sweat. Thats pure speculation.
Nike+apple have come together to steal your money once again with a small niffty device that calculates how much you have ran, your times, along side is an application that you can view your stats on [in graph form aswell] , you can set your goals and challenge your friends ! How awesome, now you have no reason to be fat.
Shoes themselves cost the usually 120 euro+ but the sensor itself its a mere 30$, on ebay atleast. I think im going to have to ignite my passion once again and start racing yesterday.

billie billy? billay …. firstly shocking as it may seem, this eviction was comming a mile away. I’ve never been a big brother fan but after recieving several texts asking why i was in big brother i started watching it. Striking similarities or copy cat ? Hes older than me so i would be copying him but since ive never seen the chap before :/ getting to the point, sad to see him go, added a bit of light to the ugly house, who wants to see ugos ? not me !

Admitting to the fact that the guys got style and is fairly attractive [i love myself] does not make me gay. People hint on the fact finding someone good looking == you like them? i think not, i love photography, im hardly going to use an ugo as my subject ! further more, are all directors gay when they pick a good looking cast? bleh. In conclusion, billys a model, you are not AND i love myself.
