Comment on The TSA Has Determined That My Cheese Is Not Explosive by David Bruce

Alas, the French security in Lyon was not as understanding when I attempted to bring some firm goat cheese to the UK. I had my liquids in the required plastic bag but the cheese was in an insulated bag in my carry-on. I had no idea that cheese was a prohibited item – it does not appear on the sign listing prohibited items but it is on the airport website (after clicking on several links to find the appropriate .pdf file). 20 euros of cheese in the trash (snif!)

Hey Joe, incredible. This was exactly was I was looking for. I built this small AS3 toy called the Tone Scribbler using StandingWave2. It made the project a hundred times easier. Thanks.

I used it as the final project for my Flash class. You can check it out on my website.

LOL … count me in. Great idea.
Martini or nice glass of Islay Malt Whisky with a dash of Lunessence, now that’s worth going to the moon for. :)

Ah – Cowgirl Cheese at SFO…..my story has to do with Air France. (Somehow the Cowgirl Creamery insulated bag full of fresh West Marin cheese made it past TSA – whose acronym refers to the Thousands Standing Around while airport “security” dithers and dawdles.) The Air France stewardesses graciously placed my cheeses in their refrigerator for the flight to Paris, where my friends LOVED our delicious Cowgirl Creamery cheeses! I’m glad that yours made it through, too – a great tale.

I’d like a martini made over Lunar ice, shaken not stirred.

I’m sold.

Thanks so much for finding and writing about this. I just reduced a Flash project by 25%.

Comment on UrlKit 0.92 now available with IE7, Safari support by Mozzy

Hi there,
I have been playing around with UrlKit today and I am still trying to figure out how I could get the following URLs matched:

http://www.example.com/#hello/world
http://www.example.com/#hello/world/1
http://www.example.com/#hello/world?query=string
http://www.example.com/#hello/world/1?query=string

now the first two parts of the url (hello and world) should be also “dynamic” meaning that I want an endless path to be matched like
http://www.example.com/#hello/world/how/are/you/today
etc.

How would I go about doing that?

Any help would be great.
Cheers,
Moz
