jumbleText Class (v1.0 11 June 2008)
Hi there everyone, I’m hereby would like to share with you my first humble experience in creating a class for AS2.0, namely jumbleText.as which you can download at :
http://www.manmeng.net/fun/jumbleText.zip

What it does?
Takes up your text and jumble it up in a bunch of gibberish and then slowly forming it back to the original text. Look at…matrix? or http://www.yugop.com

How does it look?
Here I have setup a sample page : http://www.manmeng.net/fun/jumbleText.swf

What is this?!
It’s an experimentation that I did back then to incorporate to my long overdued portfolio site, but I felt it’s best I share it to see how I can improve from here.

How do I use it?
I’m trying my best to make it as dumbproof and easy for user, but at this point, here are what it is needed (refer to screenshot on top as well).

• Create a new font and link to “myfont”
• import com.manmeng.misc.io or import.com.manmeng.misc.*
• use an empty movie clip, probably name it, such as “mc”
• use this… io.jumbleText(movieClipName, yourText, width, height, textColor, textSize)

And then you are ready to rock! Hope you will enjoy it. Any bugs report or suggestion please mail it to siaukia [at gmail dot com. I will port thisto AS3 as well. Keep in tuned!

The new iPhone 3G.

A summary of the phone introduction from CNET. Is it a blessing in disguise? It depends. And oh, Steve Jobs is thinner. He looks like…in his age. Not sure if it’s a good thing. But I am always suprised by his magnificent presentation skill. His calmness. And the preparation and research he always have behind him. The slides. Almost everything.

The phone? It is also coming to Singapore, but not sure if it’s on July 11. But if they fix the flaw from the phone itself, which its the reception inside a closed room, then I consider sold. what is a good of a phone can that can’t even make a call compared to a 10 ringgit phone?

As time passes me by, I tend to spend more time sitting down thinking back how I made myself to be at where I am and who I am today. Talk about being nostalgic, and that could be both good and bad I would say, both side of a coin. I’m always trying to tell myself to be grateful of what I have and be good to others *laughs evilly*. But of course I will always be thankful to the people I met, be it those that gave me good or bad experience, one thing I know, is that it will always teach me something new, albeit being negative or hurtful to me as well. I’m a better man now, and striving to be better.

Had a chance to drop by Sushi Zanmai on my trip back. The place is as cozy as usual, but people are filling u up the place fast. Perhaps one thing I think that lacked back then was responses from their services.

I think this probably not something new, but I ought itching to try the very stylish and usable gallery style inspired from Wii Channel. Press UP and DOWN key to change in between the tiles.

NOTE: This version of wii_gallery is STILL UNSTABLE and MAY crash your browser. Try to refrain from holding the UP/DOWN key all the time.
