WS 世界の朝食を探ろう！オリジナルシリアル 3

Wed, 07/18/2007 - 04:00 — Anonymous

　 自分で材料を組み立てたシリアルはそのままで完成というわけではなく、大きいドライフルーツを食べやすい大きさに切ったり、ベースになるオートミールや穀物をフライパンで炒る作業も入ります。その際に甘い味が好みであれば蜂蜜で味をつけたりも一緒にしていきます。 加熱したオリジナルのシリアルはパッケージングする前にあら熱をとります。その間にパッケージをデザインするのが .automeal のワークショップの定番。作れるものは全部自分たちで作る。何を入れたら相手が喜ぶか、どういうパッケージにしたらかっこいいか（でもあまり気に入ったのが出来ちゃったら、あげないで自分で食べたいな...）なんてことを考えながら、食べもの（と場所と時間）を作っていくのが、ひとつのおもてなしだと思っています。 限られた短い時間、駆け足の進行でしたがみんなひとつずつ素敵なオリジナル・シリアルがパッケージまで含めて出来上がりました。最後...

WS お米を探ろう！和の朝食 3

Thu, 07/12/2007 - 00:49 — Anonymous

今回の一汁三菜。

  • たまごの赤だし
  • 夏野菜のきんぴら
  • トマトのしょうゆ漬けとモッツァレラチーズの和風カプレーゼ
  • 自家製アジの干物

あとはこどもチームのおにぎりを待って、きちんと並べます（ちょっとスペースと皿の事情で変則的な組み方ですが正しい一汁三菜の並べ方はブックレットでフォローします）。 今回のきんぴらは、アスパラガスにゴーヤ、セロリ、パプリカと意外だけど夏らしい野菜の組み合わせ。もう一品トマトとモッツァレラにしょう油とオリーブオイルというものもありますが、いつものレパートリーに、ちょっとだけ彩りと季節感を与えるメニューです。作るのも簡単。ササーっと。 作ったらきれいに盛りつけます。ちょっと写真ではわかりにくいのですが、この皿は「目」があるので、その目に合わせたり、交差させたりバランスを考えながら盛っていきます。今回は「朝食」のワークショップではあるのですが、時間は午後、夕食前なので量は少なめです。 調理実習？の進行はワーク...

Do you want an iPhone?

As people stood in line sometimes a day before the big day, June 29, I was thinking of the partnership between Apple and AT&T. What about other Service providers who provide wireless services; could they not interoperate and have a device, which theoretically might be provider agnostic work with their phone was well? Of course economics, partnerships and politics are the key driving forces here...

So in the world of SOA, economics, partnerships and politics play a significant role as well. In the world of SOA, the economics of funding determines what services actually get funded to be developed. This is why we need a set of criteria by which we can assess which candidate services are a priority for inclusion in your next budget cycle. We call these criteria or gating factors, the Service Litmus Tests (SLTs). They are embedded in SOMA , the de facto end to end SOA Development Method.

Types Of Shoes For Different Style Dresses

Sat, 07/07/2007 - 01:53 — Anonymous

Sandals are high heeled, strappy shoes that have no fully closed area. Open toe shoes have all closed areas except for a small opening at the very front of the shoes (like a pump with an open front) or a sling back with an open toe.Open toes shoes are more popular this year, and you can find them in abundance, but every designer is also making the more classic dressy, black-tie pumps as well. You can wear open-toed shoes with hose so long as the hose have a sheer toe. It is sandals that you should not wear with hose but the open toed shoes can certainly be worn with sandal foot hose! Sandals are high heeled, strappy shoes that have no fully closed area. Open toe shoes have all closed areas except for a small opening at the very front of the shoes (like a pump with an open front) or a sling back with an open toe.Silver purse and shoes are the best unless the jewelry includes yellow gold.Wear sandals and not shoes with any a dress that has short sleeves and is an empire waist.You can wear a variety of different shoe colors with a plum or maroon dress. First suggestion would be to wear sandals - something with a high heel and definitely strappy. You can always wear black sandals! Metallic, bronze, silver or gold are also a good choice. Make sure to coordinate your jewelry. Sil...

I know it's been a while since we've posted anything on BLANK. Our criteria for posting is to write only when we have something meaningful to say. So why the silence then? Is there nothing meaningful going on in design? On the contrary, there is an age altering storm brewing in the heart and soul of design. One so big, it's almost imperceptible...an elephant in the room. I've just not known how to get our hands around it properly or been able to step back far enough to see the whole picture. Almost there now. Stay tuned for more.

The Build Your Own CAB Series Table of Contents

Thu, 07/26/2007 - 02:21 — Anonymous

Yes, this is overdue.  Here is an introduction and table of contents to my "Build Your Own CAB" series of blog posts on designing WinForms applications.  You'll see nothing here about user experience and not much WinForms technology.  That stuff is covered quite well in a hundred different places.  This series is about code.  How to write it, how to write less, how to test it, and how to structure it.  And there is code in user interfaces, no doubt about that.  Code that's complex.  Code that changes every time you're foolish enough to ask an end user how they like it.  Code that's hard to test if you're not careful. I'm still working on the series, so check back here occasionally for updates and new downloads.  After I finish posting the menu state series I'm going to take a break for a while, but it's for a good cause.  The most persistent complaint throughout the series is that it's not clear how all the pieces fit together.  Understandable.  At the same time that I'm writing this series I'm also working on my OSS StoryTeller tool that includes a sizable WinForms client.  Last we...

Build your own CAB #14: Managing Menu State with MicroController's, Command's, a Layer SuperType, some StructureMap Pixie Dust, and a Dollop of Fluent Interface

Tue, 07/24/2007 - 10:29 — Anonymous

THIS ARTICLE IN ITS ENTIRETY IS HERE.
The title is a mouthful and accurately implies an alarmingly high jargon to code ration, but I just didn't see anyway to write this post without straying into all of these different subjects.  When you try to write an explanatory article you have to walk a tightrope between a sample problem that's simple enough to work through in no more than a handful of pages and a sample problem that's just too simplistic to be valuable.  I'll leave it up to you to decide which end of the spectrum this one falls on.  I also had a rough time trying to decide on the best way to order the topics in the narrative.  All I can do is ask you to scan the following headers if something seems to be missing or I'm lurching ahead.
Last week I had a flood of people follow Martin Fowler's link into this series.  I thought it was pretty cool because most of my ...

Wonders and Weirdness of Web Services

Wed, 07/25/2007 - 20:09 — Anonymous

I just spent 3 hours trying to work out why one of two methods on a web service was failing with a NullReferenceException when both methods accepted the same first 3 parameters (one of which was apparently null) from the same 3 variables, and the other method was perfectly happy.

I'm not sure how it happened, maybe a global replace, or something, altough that doesn't match up really.

Anyway:

BeginMethod1(string About, string My, string Method)

Method1(string About, string My, string Method)

BeginMethod2(string About, string My, string Method)

Method2(string about, string My, string Method)


Calling Method 1 succeeds
Calling Method 2 fails

Did you spot the cause?

In the first 3 definitions, About started with a capital, in the last it started with a lower case.

The actual method parameter on the web service started with a capital.

The end result is that somewhere in the serialization or deserialization, the value is not transferred across, so that the web service, the parameter value is null.

ASP.AJAX CollapsiblePanelExtender in IE 6

Wed, 07/04/2007 - 21:31 — Anonymous

In IE 7, this control works beautifully.
In IE 6, it animates the collapse of the panel, then reverts to the full size of the panel.

As far as I can determine, the cause is these two functions in the BLOCKED SCRIPT

get_TargetHeight : function() {
return this.get_element().offsetHeight;
}
set_TargetHeight : function(value) {
this.get_element().style.height = value + "px";
this.raisePropertyChanged('TargetHeight');
}

You will no doubt notice that get_TargetHeight uses the element offsetHeight, but set_TargetHeight uses style.height instead. Well in IE 7, offsetHeight becomes 0, but in IE 6, it stays at the full height of the DIV.

I'd post this on the AJAX site, but since that page just asks me repeatedly for a windows login, it kind of makes it impossible.
