truth without consistency is deception!

a flex security (remote access) error that took quite some time :D

I came across a set of errors while remotely accessing an ejb exposed webservice through flex over SOAP. The winner was a Channel.security.error for Default HTTP destination.
Including stuff in crossdomain did not do much good :(.... realized there's the "update" since flash 9.0.116 (not precise) that requires another entry in crossdomain.xml! This was my saver:

This (my, not Scott's :P) post is useless to public, its just for my notes as of now. So, whatever and thanks :)

"God" sometimes listens

And I should take back my comment about "the compulsory unnecessary stuff...".. things just got better!! did they read this? and my mind too? A lot of other things happened too! (I know there's a lot of text in the internet) haha..
another reason I'm not leaving yahoo mail! :P

I don't need to put it down, but I don't want to miss the link.

The compulsory unnecessary stuff, what's that for?

I was anyways tolerating all the funky stuff that comes along with applications... fancy gui and pop-ups, and "security breach" warnings and all such stuff... and in the mean time google.com automatically started redirecting me to igoogle... what!?! WHY!?! Who decides what GOOGLE should do for ME? Who the f*** commands my liking and choices? Well, I can't blame it much because of the increasing need of collaboration spaces and web2.0 concepts and I liked it somewhat later too; but darn it, I was like I can't take it anymore when I saw a "Progress bar for MARKING MESSAGES READ in a folder"!!!!!! ... I mean - this is outright shit! .. 1. I right click on the small name of folder 2. I click the Mark all read selection 3. I wait for the folder to load and keep f'ing watching the progress bar showing how many of my 5 or 50 messages did it mark as read... WOW... I *love watching that... its so fun! yahoo marking the new messages as read..awesome view, isn't it! and guess what its not done yet, **4: I click on the done button on the poped up progress bar, when yahoo completes marking all my messages as read! So I acknowledge that yahoo has finished the task!

What's the need for this? Is it just do it because you know how to do it? or lack of work? or what? To be Agile, to be Lean is to incorporate YAGNI as a part of it. I don't see in any way this being closer to web2.0 or sophistication or user convenience or a significant service to be provided. Atleast keep an option to not be able to use the new stuff that you think is "cool".. Dear-o-dear, Wally! Do they know something like KISS? Or I wish?

Holy lord, save the world! May the future be bright!

"Usless" Nostalgia

One night I just got very nostalgic and compiled this (*picasa movie) thing through the night. :) had a deal finding the song... I'm gonna put some more text here but later.
