AdWeek published an article on Veoh's in-stream advertising strategy and behavioral targeting system.
I've been working on the flash integration with our in-house targeting server add Freewheel's first ActionScript 3.0 SDK for ad delivery.
I often use SubVersion from the command line to manage my projects and I quickly became tired of typing in the full urls to repositories. I'm now storing these long paths in environmental variables. So for example I previously had to type svn copy http://repo/svn/spoonermedia/projectname/trunk http://repo/svn/spoonermedia/projectname/branch/feature1 to make a branch. After setting up an environmental variable I only have to type
Look in "/Users/your-user-name" for a .profile or .bash_login file. If you have both then open up .bash_login or if you have neither create a .profile file.
In that file you can use the export command to set all the variables you need. Each of these variables should be in uppercase.
You can also use alias and functions to do other task like open and close projects. Here are some of the other shortcuts I have.
## Open my current project
alias wolverine="cd /Users/jspooner/Documents/veoh/FlashPlayer/branches/wolverine && pwd && echo WELCOME TO WOLVERINE"
# mate
alias edithost="mate /private/etc/hosts"
alias stopmysql="sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mysql.mysqld.plist"
alias startmysql="sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mysql.mysqld.plist"
#
# # functions
# # change directories. echo PWD and show a list
cdd () { cd ${1}; echo $PWD; ls; }
After installing Flex 3 form Flex 3 Beta 3 I had lots of issues with keyboard short cuts. I found that some hidden files from the beta were still on my system in ~/Documents/Flex Builder. I was able to solve all issues by changing the name on that directory and reinstalling Flex.
