Yeah thats right!, It took me too long to realize that, but its true.
You CAN NOT do usb tethering with a 64Bit Snow Leopard Kernel, I guess the drivers are still 32Bits.
You will not find this info on apple because, first tethering is not available on many countries (yes I have a jailbroken iPhone I’m not ashamed of that), and second the 64bit kernel is still targeted to servers, not users.
But I guess you are a power user 
, so don’t waste more time trying via usb, and do the tether stuff with bluetooth, it works great
.
Today I tried to load an image form an url and apply it to a background, well appears like setStyle don’t have the ability to load an image from URL.
So I had to look another alternative, I load the image using an Loader, but I couldn’t found a way to apply it to the background style, I did a workaround, I draw it on the graphics object, I guess it is helpful because the image is titled, but I will try more options I didn’t quite like 100% this solution.
IMPORTANT : dont’ forget the security restrictions of doing this, remember that flash can’t load images from another domain, and www.zerokernel.com is different to zerokenel.com, see Adobe for more information ( Player 9 restrictions from Adobe – PDF )
Anyway, here is the demo:

And the code:

A good friend of mie has released a library to test individual flex components, its very useful when you build large apps with smaller components because it allows to check exactly how it behaves but without loading the whole app.
You can check the project here:

I will be posting an example soon
Yey, a good friend of mine worked on a 8080 emulator, to play space invaders…
Please go to see it, I bet it will be a cool code xD

I really like this process, To bad is not 64 bit xD
lsd process in snow leopard
For a complex reason I couldn’t understand the SVN plugin of eclipse don’t have an interface for delete/update users for repositories, so if you want to change you current user you actually have to delete the “keyring”, that is a special file where eclipse saves all the login information of your repositories… yes… all the passwords.
So after a search in google with no luck, I found that the location of the configuration files:
@user.home/Documents/Flex Builder 3/configuration
BUT BEWARE READER….
All the configuration files are stored in hidden files, and I mean the filename starts with a “.” dot, if you go to the finder you will find nothing… apparently… you actually had to dig in your terminal skills (or configure the finder to show hidden files), and delete the damn file:
.keyring
And eclipse will ask for passwords again…
The worst thing… you had to enter ALL your passwords again.
Well the short answer, it works, but in the 32 bit kernel, it only gets the red led on 64 bit kernel.
I have searched around google and the Franklin Wireless page and found nothing, so I decided to install, ( I had a clean snow leopard), and it works.
I searched here:
http://www.fklt.com/support.php
There’s nothing in the forums or in the page about snow leopard support, so I think the 64 future is uncertain, only time can tell.
So if you are willing to sacrifice the great 64 bit performance for 3G connectionm go ahead, it will work
So… you finally decide to search in google about this problem, it took me 5 tries, before doing it.
So the short answer… the image for mysql is UDF, and appears like the UDF driver is still 32 bits, and I guess if you are here, is because you are running on the 64bit kernel…
Well this is the price for early adopters, you have to boot in 32 bits kernel to be able to mount it on snow leopard
Long history, and a linux workaround (?):

Most of the Mac users did a brave thing last week, we all upgrade our OS to the latest and snowiest leopard in town… some of us with mixed luck…
The thing that I had troubles with, is a beautiful firewire 800 external disk drive (a gift from a very good friend), appears since I upgraded begun to disconnect randomly, but with a twist, when it was connected via USB, nothing happen.
I had to tell that I did a clean install of snow leopard (yes you can do it with the upgrade disk).
When I remember that setting, I realize that all my setting were wiped, so I look into the energy preference panel, and there was my answer, the option “Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible” was selected, seems like its a firewire disk it actually sends the sleep command.
I disable it for the battery and power adapter profile and my problem was fixed.
Hope this helps to save some time for someone in google.
During the stage of css/html testing you have to test with multiple web browsers and operating systems.
Unfortunately in Mac OS X its a little difficult to have multiple Safari versions, since the Webkit framework is what is updated and webkit is system-wide, you can’t have both at the same time…
Until I discover this clever man, who embed the webkit in an app, so you can have your own safari 3 and safari 4 running on your mac… so you can test everything … go and download it, you will never regret it:
