After looking at some amazing pictures of the recent Volcano I was inspired to bring one of them to life. I wanted to animate a still image to make it look it was video shot from a moving helicopter. I added some Optical Flares and subtle camera shake to give it a little more life. I also used the liquify filter to animate the smoke over time as it plumed out. There are also some small falling ash particles created with particular

Animating a Still
Recently I surfaced a problem where, one of my friend had a tough time in getting rid of an assembly reference error. Despite adding reference to the assembly, while referencing it in code, it was spitting out the “The type or namespace name ‘ASSEMBLYNAME’ could not be found” error. This was a migration project and owing to the above error, it was throwing another 100 errors. We tried adding reference to the assembly in other projects and it was not even resolving the namespace while typing out in the using section.

This is a clear case of the problem of plenty. There was time when developers had to wade through the muddles of codes and through junk codes sometimes, but thanks to the tremendous development in the field of web development ; this scenario has become a past.

Update May 2010: This is one of my most popular blog entries, so it seems worthwhile to modernize it a little. I’ve added an example of a generic REST helper that I’ve been using in a couple of places below the original do_post_request function in this entry. Enjoy! I don’t think we do a very good job of evangelizing some of the nice things that the PHP streams layer does in the PHP manual, or even in general

Through this blog, I intend to share how I went about constructing an engineering project, which was also my first interlude with WPF. Unlike Computer Application projects catering real world problems with OOP paradigm, Computer Engineering projects more often require use of AOP paradigm making use of PLs promoting declarative functional programming. I am expecting the feedback to have beneficial effect on all my future work.

DSAL Using WPF
Some WPF customers have complained about this help that WPF tries to provide: Layout recursion reached allowed limit to avoid stack overflow: '255' We saw the feedback via this forum post , and thought we fixed it in 3.5sp1. I posted in April 2008 that the fix was coming…By the time we got feedback that we didn’t quite fix it (we only changed 1 constant in the code, and there were several necessary), 3.5sp1 was already virtually out the door. The good news is that we’ve fixed this in WPF 4 to allow a new higher limit of 4096

I’ve mentioned before that I’ve wanted to see Windows grow to support multiple keyboards and mice on the same computer. A WPF Forum Question about using a 2nd monitor’s touch screen without interfering with applications on the other screen, is another instance of a similar thing…and probably a more important scenario. Having a touch monitor as a related, but separately addressable device sounds like a great scenario to enable…
