Project TinCan is a personal project i started on the 8th of November 2010. It is an attempt to port the Actionscript 3 interface to Javascript, using the interface as the basis for an interactive Javascript/HTML5 framework.
The port is currently focussed on the new HTML5 canvas element, but it might include audio and video in the near future. The latter two are excluded due to their relative poor support at the time of writing.
The name TinCan
The project lends it’s name from a tin can. The misspelling is chosen for aesthetic reason’s and for search engine findability.
Highly Experimental
The function of a tin can in daily life embodies the project’s spirit. A tin can is often used as a throwaway container or as a throw-at target at fairs. So is project TinCan. It has a high throwaway-probability due to Javascript and HTML5 their limitations (compared to Flash/Actionscript3). And i might run into Adobe saying “Stop it now or else we’ll start throwing balls at your TinCan!”. TinCannot! they be saying. To summarize: this project is highly experimental.
Follow the development
For anyone interested: development of project TinCan is open to the public at GitHub: github.com/Millers7/TinCan.
A visualizer i made a while ago for the song We Own The Sky by M83. At the time there was a competition running, where the videoclip with the most votes would become the official one.

Especially, though not accidentally i.e. “Open Internet Explorer… OH GOD”, when i start cross-browser compatibility testing.
Backoffice and website designed and developed for recruitment agency Jobbuilders.
Website build for Café De Stoof in Amsterdam. Both front-end and back-end designed and developed by Millers7.
For the website customprints.nl Millers7 developed the Canvas Editor for customers and a Photoshop automation script for the output generated by the Canvas Editor. The editor makes it possible for customers to create a personal print. Settings by the customer are stored in XML format on the server together with their image of choice. These XML files are then used locally by a computer that runs an automation script for Photoshop, making the images ready for printing by adding a barcode, fold lines, margins and a company logo and finally by processing the customer’s settings.
Hello indeed. And welcome to my blog!
On this brand new blog i am hoping to entertain you in the foreseeable future with all kinds of babble about my latest projects, experiments and findings on programming languages.
I promise i will try not to be wasteful with your (and my) time by writing arbitrary posts on topics that add little to no value to your daily information absorption routine. Shameless self-promotion posts about new projects and experiments excluded, ofcourse.
Now move along world. Nothing to see here, yet.
