		<title>MacPro early 2008 video card dies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of months ago, during a particularly busy period of work, I started to suffer some quite strange symptoms with my MacPro. Essentially, &#8217;sometimes&#8217; if the system went to sleep, it was not possible to properly wake it up. It was apparent that the machine was starting up, but there was no video signal to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Editor bug in Mac OS X 10.6.1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[UPDATE 10-Dec-2009: I&#8217;m pretty convinced now that this is an editor bug, not a Mac OS X bug. Essentially the editors are using default OS behaviour which I think is tailored for natural language editing rather than programme-code editing. Original post follows&#8230;
I&#8217;m currently finding in some applications that &#8220;word1.word2.word3&#8243; is being treated as a single [...]]]></description>

		<title>overlaying VideoDisplay with constrained fluid layout</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ // 
The problem: How to overlay the video with something (e.g. a logo or caption) and keep the overlay relative to a corner of the actual video rectangle. Sounds like it should be a simple matter of creating a container and layering in the VideoDisplay instance and the over lay instance ? But&#8230;
In each [...]]]></description>

		<title>No CMD-SPACE in Flash Builder since Snow Leopard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok so CMD-SPACE is the default short cut to launch Spotlight. But I wanted that combo for &#8216;content assist&#8217; with Flex/Flash Builder. Until installing Snow Leopard, that is what I had for a few years, and Spotlight relegated to CTRL-SPACE. However since SnowLeopard, the CMD-SPACE combo is not transmitted to Flash Builder. I assume this [...]]]></description>

		<title>resurrected my tascam porta 05</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Slightly off-topic for this blog, but&#8230;
Decided to dig out my old Tascam Porta 05 ministudio in order to digitise some old 4-track recordings. But, found that the play heads seemed to be stuck in the forward position. Full symptoms and notes:

Power on ok
Impossible to insert a cassette due to the position of the heads
Can hear [...]]]></description>

		<title>purchasing more downloads from Ireland VAT zone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About to suffer a little more pain than usual in renewing my Microsoft Action Pack subscription (note: don&#8217;t expect that link to display correctly in anything other than Microsoft Explorer). This year things have changed. Instead of everyone receiving physical media, we now have the option to download. Good for the environment.
Download users will pay [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After a number of days off-line following the provider having been hacked. We are now back online! Hurrah. Having moved away from LXAdmin (it worked well for a while) I can now concentrate on real work again rather than recovery.

		<title>finding information on Flex 3 component lifecycle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Quickly creating re-usable components based on others, augmented with additional ActionScript behaviour using MXML is as simple as can be. However, to create a component from scratch using ActionScript requires a lot of detailed knowledge of how the Flex framework works and the component life-cycle in particular.
The Flex documentation attempts to describe the lifecycle, but can [...]]]></description>

		<title>SimpleOscilloscope : filter update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My SimpleOscilloscope component described in an earlier post has now been updated to include a few filters controllable through setting styles. Of course like any other Flex component, it can have additional filtering applied in the normal way. I just felt like including these : alphaDecay, redMultiplier, greenMultiplier, blueMultiplier, blurX, blurY, scrollX, scrollY.
As ever, the [...]]]></description>
