I just got the debugger analyzer for The Tangent working. It took a little eye-crossing bit-twiddling which I had a lot of fun with and it was lovely to see it work when it finally did.
The The Tangent has a(n) debugger analyzer! article by Aral Balkan, unless otherwise expressly stated, is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 2.0 UK: England License.
So, here's the tease of the day -- a tiny slice of the s _ _ f _ r _ a t . org page. (See what I did there? You've got another letter!)
Any guesses on the name yet? You should have at least one part of it now.
Now that the debugger is working, I'm going to concentrate on the security side of things on the server-side and on getting the site ready for the alpha launch next week.
Update: Mike Davies figured out the domain name... see the comments! :)
The The Tangent has a(n)
swfformat.org? but nslookup fails on that.
Hey Erki… close, very close! :)
http://www.swifformat.org ??
We are currently building Flash websites with AMFPHP… Will Tangent be beneficial for us?
We cant wait to see what you are doing :)
I sure hope so, Tamer :) (And you’ve got an extra letter in there!)
Got it! :-)
swxformat.org
Trial and error on a domain registrar looking for xml / json / swf type combinations. Kept retrying sonformat.org a few times…
Hah, Mike, you got it — wow, that’s some determination! :)
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the domain name is swxformat.org. But what is it?..
Don’t worry, I won’t keep you hanging for much longer. The site will go live with information before the actual alpha release. I am aiming for early next week for the site to go live with information and hope to follow with live demos and the initial alpha release. I want to have the initial alpha release out prior to my talk at the LFPUG on Thursday. This will be *very* early alpha, be warned — it will creak, it will break, it will throw its toys and generally be a nuisance — but it will nevertheless be very, very cool! :)
And I need your help to test this baby during the development process so that we can improve it. Initially, it will be easy to break and hopefully it will get more robust with your input.
I can’t wait, I just know you’re going to love this! :)
Nice viral marketing going on here, Aral :)
heh, yeah good job with the hype, Im actually very curious now to see what you’re coming up with. I WANT!
