Track delegations using Apple Mail & Things First of all: E-mail is not the best way to ask people for commitment. Either ask people in person or on the phone. But e-mail is a great way to confirm what you’ve agreed on, send information and… to track delegations. Personally I love using Culture Code‘s Things for tracking my own projects and tasks […]
Supporting multiple widget controllers Update: The pull request for this feature has been accepted. If you require a widget in a XML view like this: 1 <widget src="nl.fokkezb.tweetsView" foo="bar" id="myWidget"></widget> It generates code like this: 1234 $.__views.myWidget = Alloy.createWidget("nl.fokkezb.tweetsView", "widget", { id: "myWidget", foo: "bar"}); Let’s take a look at the code for createWidget in alloy.js: 123 exports.createWidget = function(id, name, args) { return new (require("alloy/widgets/" + id + "/controllers/" + (name || "widget")))(args);}; Multiple view-controllers As you can see, the second argument specifies the controller to require from […]

Een volle agenda, maar nooit druk Ik las deze week Een volle agenda, maar nooit druk van Denise Hulst. In verschillende opzichten een ander verhaal dan boeken die ik eerder over time management heb gelezen. Geen tips & tricks Het boekje is ten eerste compact. Dat komt omdat het niet – zoals die andere boeken – bol staat van tips & […]
