so i finally got a copy of adobe cs3 and flex builder2. flex is amazing, combining mxml and actionscript 3 together into a seamless package. now that im on the as3 tip, i decided to dive into papervision3D. pv3d is a set of actionscript classes that are used to create 3D objects within the flash environment. it's currently in beta and the source code is only available to osflash emailing list members. so if you want it signup here. thanx to carlos for creating pv3d, and to his girlfriend for convincing him to release the project open source!

as i have been checking out the new features of actionscript 3 and flex, i stumbled upon fwiidom.org. this site is run by joa ebert + thibault imbert, and their mission is full flash wiimote integration. 

currently wiiflash supports multiple wiimotes and nunchuks, the classic controller, as well as pc sensor bars. all you need is a bluetooth enabled pc (or adaptor) and a wiimote.

the newest version is available from wiiflash or googlecode or you could get on the mailing list

<?php
$email = 'someone@somewhere.com';
if (!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $email)) {
    //invalid email
} else {
    //valid email
}
?>

here's a simple SQL script that returns the last row created. this is great for when you add a new record that has an autogenerated id and you need that number.

mssql

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[getLastLogin]
AS
SELECT TOP 1 *
FROM dbo.login
ORDER BY id DESC
GO

mysql

SELECT * FROM `login` 
ORDER BY `id` DESC
LIMIT 1,1;
