I usually need to change permissions of files and folders on our servers or on my Mac, in order to execute software correctly. Most cases, folders should have 755, files should have 644 permissions. It’s not possible to do that one by one, therefore I usually need some unix / OSX commands to do that. And figured out whenever I need this (almost every week), I figure out I try to search the Internet. So here is the magic code; so we all know where to find it when we need it again :)

chmod -R 755 *
find -type f -print0|xargs -0 chmod 644

Here is a great article from Hayden on Forum Nokia Wiki; Build reusable Flash Lite 1.1 component. Flash Lite 1.1 is still my favorite version, and I really like to see such solutions.

Flash Lite Developer’s Library a really cool resource for developers from Forum Nokia. It’s available for online and offline use.

The Flash Lite Developer’s Library is an information package for desktop Flash developers and mobile software developers looking to branch out to Flash Lite development. The library offers introductory and getting started information as well as several use cases describing Flash Lite features in more detail. This library is available in HTML format online and as a stand-alone version.

Mark Doherty from Adobe posts zip of nice set of articles for tuning better performance for Flash Lite and other Adobe’s project recommendations,guidelines, standards..

..mostly written by Adobe staff, you will discover strange Flash Lite oddities, bug work-arounds and tips for better coding for mobile devices.

..Also in the zip file are some particularly good articles that we use and are pulled from the Internet, thanks to those authors who are named in their respective documents.

Here is a great finding from Stephanie; Eurobarometer; Mobile and Internet Habits if EU 9.12 years olds. That’s really worth reading.

• More than three-quarters of girls and boys aged 9 to 10 have one.
• Nine out of ten girls and boys aged 12 to 14 have one.
• More often than not the mobile phone was received as a present (from parents, uncles or aunts, grandparents).
• Those who have a mobile phone show themselves to be very satisfied, and even “proud” to own one. This is clearly a form of valuation, a kind of “rite of passage”, the clear “sign” of access to a state of relative “maturity” and of belonging to a new group.
• Among the youngest children, keeping in permanent contact with their parents is advanced by a majority.
• Sending/receiving text messages is the favourite and intense activity of children, in particular, as we have just stressed, of the older children (aged 12 to 14). Apart from the fact that text messages are “cheaper” than voice calls, sending and receiving text messages is part and parcel of a specific “culture” in these age categories. This very evidently involves a language of their own, which is “coded” and differentiated, attesting to a mutual recognition and the sense of belonging to a group. In a nutshell: “you phone your parents but you text your friends”.
• Connecting to the Internet by mobile phone is a very marginal use, deemed by a very large number to be pointless when you have a computer at home, but above all too expensive, complicated and also risky, since it potentially generates viruses.

Scott has a really great post: Creating and testing mobile web sites with Adobe CS3.

Scott initiated a cool idea and set up a place on SlideShare for us to share Flash Lite presentations. I am sure someday you will need to present Flash Lite to convince your boss, your client or a potential investor, therefore do not forget to bookmark this page and contribute. I appreciate such efforts quite much, big thanks to Scott! Read full story here.
