  • LJ Pal – Failed Central App

    As I get more comfortable with my new development server, I’ll re-upload all of my files. Until there, here’s a new one.

    I attempted, twice, to create a front-end client for the online blogging service LiveJournal. The first was a component in MX, but failed because of cross-domain security issues. Central at least asks for permission, but the XML-RPC was so convoluted, I got really frustrated and gave up on this project.

    Anyway, one man’s trash is anothers treasure.

  • Things NOT to do when building a Central Application

    If you think these are a given, then good for you.

    – do not hardcode URL’s in any of your components; utilize a _global variable scoped to your Central’s application, like _global.com.yourapp.BASE_URL
    – try to confirm the URL you are hosting your Central application at. Changing multiple shared library files, even with the help of a JSFL script, is a royale pain
