Installing Storytlr the lifestreaming platform

" Storytlr  is an open source lifestreaming and micro blogging platform. You can use it for a single user or it can act as a host for many people all from the same installation." I've been looking for something like Storytlr for a few months now or at least trying to do it with Drupal . While I love Drupal and FeedAPI  I did not want to spend all that time building a lifestream website. So I've been playing around with Storytlr instead and found it very easy. Here is how I got it up and running on a Ubuntu EC2 server. You can also check out the official Storytlr install instructions . Assumptions: LAMP stack installed and running. Domain setup for a directory. MySQL database and user ready to go. Lets get started! Get the code : wget http://storytlr.googlecode.com/files/storytlr-0.9.2.tgz tar -xvzf storytlr-0.9.2.tgz You can find out the  latest stable release  on Storytlr's downloads page. Import the database : Within protected/install is database.sq...

Sync is currently experiencing problems

Update : I now recommend you install Google Chrome  and  disable  the built in Browser as it supports encrypting all synced data. After picking up a gorgeous  Galaxy Nexus yesterday I was running into an issue where my browser data wasn't syncing to the phone. After a little Googling I found this is commonly caused by having all of my synced Chrome data encrypted instead of the default of only encrypting the passwords.

Visit the Google Dashboard and "Stop sync and delete data from Google". I waite...

A month of Flutter: the real hero animation

Originally published on bendyworks.com . For the last post before the month's wrap up tomorrow, I wanted to do something more fun: use a  hero animation between the home page list and the individual post page. When I first implemented the  Hero  animation it never worked going back from a  PostPage  to the  HomePage . The reason was that  HomePage  would get rerendered and that would  generate new fake posts . So I moved the fake data generation up a level to  MyApp  and pass it into  HomePage . This is more realistic as going to the  HomePage  shouldn't request the  Post s every time. HomePage ( title: 'Birb' , posts: _loadPosts ( context ), ) The  PostPage  implementation is a simple  StatelessWidget  that takes  Post  and renders a  PostItem . This will become more complex as things like comments and likes are implemented but works for now. class Pos...
