Your Hispanic friend’s name and you (updated)
Taken from About.com
“…the basic rule of Spanish names is fairly simple: In general, a person born into a Spanish-speaking family is given a first name followed by two surnames, the first being the father’s family name (or, more precisely, the surname he gained from his father) followed by the mother’s family name (or, again more precisely, the surname she gained from her father)…”
Also it is very common (specially in Latin American countries) for there to be 2 names in a Spanish first name.
This article on wikipedia correctly states that what i refer to here as “middle name” is actually part of the “first name”. I have only used the “middle name” convention to make it easy to understand for English speakers. In reality there is no such thing as “middle name” in Spanish names, just compound names.

Version of iOS on device does not match any of the versions of iOS supported for development
I ran into this little problem the other day after updating my Ipad to 4.2 (or at least that is when i first noticed the problem) and it would keep me from installing my apps from Xcode into my device
The version of iOS on “The Evil One” does not match any of the versions od iOS supported for development with this installation of the iOS SDK. Please restore the device to a version of the OS lister bellow, or update to the latest version of te iOS SDK;…
And then it would show that the OS Installed on my Ipad matches exactly the Xcode supported version, thus, contradicting the message’s text.
Trying to make sense of this error did not give any results and Googling this problem did not help much. I went to the developer forums where people asked me if the device had been jail-broken or if i had used any betas of the SDK: to both the answer was no. After that pretty much everyone was stomped and i was told to go to the MacStore and check for a hardware error.
I restored my ipad and gave it a clean install (loosing all my data, i guess this is why you are supposed to have a spare Ipad/Iphone for development) but still the error persisted. I was about to go to the MacStorebut i decided to try something else before doing that, just in case.
For those having the same problem upgrading to 4.2 here’s what worked for me: Unistall and Reinstall Xcode. I did have the latest version but for some reason doing this made the problem go away.
After i followed the instructions on this post and re-downloaded and reinstalled XCode, my Ipad went back to functional status.
This is the first time i had to wipe my Ipad and i was very glad to see that the infamous Kindle app actually keeps an online Library of all my purchased books, so i didn’t loose them.
Now if only i had backed up my Epic Win progress…

Hi there, i use a mac laptop with a built in webcam and i used to be able to make animations but recently when i go to change my camera setting to DV-USB it is not an option, it only allows built in i-sight or google adapters 0 and 1 which do not work with my webcam. Is there a way i can change this so i can keep making animations on web cam stop motion?
Thanks
Emily

Emily, I am not sure what to tell you. Did you install something that caused the change in your drivers? Are you able to use your webcam with other programs, for example Skype?

im using a mac computer and when im using your web-cam-stop-motion thing, the option to capture the frame is a light shade of grey, and i cant click on it. im not sure what i have to do for it to work? i have managed to connect my webcam and microphone to it.

PiterWilson. How i get flash-code to make own version of this thing?
Or i have to buy source from you? How much does that cost or do u have any tutorial how making similar as this with animating GIFS? I would be happy if i could get one sopy of this somehow but i wanna make animation longer than just 20 frames :S /Ted from sweden

Ted, the source code is not for sale, but making your own version is not too hard if you know Actionscript. All you will need is to get the camera’s input and create BitmapData objects from it. Then you’ll need a way to save those images either to jpg or an animated gif. For jpg encoding look at something like this http://henryjones.us/articles/using-the-as3-jpeg-encoder but if you want to encode directly to gif do something like this http://www.bytearray.org/?p=93 Good luck and happy coding!

Hi Piter! I love the site, it’s loads of fun. My only request would be to make it compatible with XSplit somehow! I don’t know anything about flash webcam interfacing unfortunately, but I know sites like chatroulette are compatible with the program. This would enable neat features like adding my twitter name to the bottom of my GIFs or allowing my drawings to interact with me in the animation. Either way, this is an excellent website and thanks for all your work!

Whoops, nevermind. If anyone else is curious how to do this, just right click the box and go to settings. After you allow access to your camera, click on the little icon of the camera and you can choose your input right there (Be sure that Output to virtual camera is checked in Xsplit’s general settings). Cheers everyone!

I think you should be able to comment on animations. Also would you get in treble if you posted something inappropriate.
