Amazon Kindle and my reading habits

About 3 weeks ago, and after weeks of giving it a thought, I bought meself an Amazon Kindle and I am loving it! It just fits under my reading habits I think of meself as someone with a concentration disorder. I can't be more than 10min into something without getting easily distracted by anything that goes along me surroundings or the web - got to confess I'm subscribed to over 600 blogs and counting, and just as it is the source to my knowledge it also is the source of most of my distractions.

Flash-Flex Integration, Part 7: Coding With Flash Components in Flex Builder

Sometimes, when you're coding a Flex application, don't you just wish you could use a Flash animation, right there? And in Flash, don't you sometimes wish you could use that one class in Flex, or that one component, which would make your life so much easier? It is at such times that a developer encounters the limitations of their tools, be it in Flex or in Flash. This series aims to explore the possibilities inherent in an integrated Flash-Flex workflow, bridging the gap between the two technologies, enabling a greater range of development options.In the last article, we looked at (translate)

Building Click-and-Rotate Content in Flash - Part 3

In one implementation of the QuickTime VR format, known as QTVR Object Movies, the user can click-and-drag an image to seemingly rotate it, as if spinning the real-life object on a lazy Susan. This simulated 3-D interactivity can improve multimedia curb appeal, and makes for a nifty way to showcase merchandise. But it doesn't stop there: the same basic principle can also bring click-and-drag responsiveness to short video sequences and even user input widgets, such as click-and-scrub input fields. In Part 2, of this series, we continued our exploration of the Flash version of a QTVR Object Movie that rotates (translate)

Look ma, I'm speaking at Max. Thanks, Adobe. :-)

Well, I got an email from Adobe today confirming that I'll be speaking at the Adobe Max conference later this year in San Francisco. Of course I'm delighted and very happy to announce it. A couple of folks had pointed out to me last week that I was listed on the site as a speaker, but I was waiting for confirmation before announcing it (just seemed prudent). Anyway, I certainly thank the powers that be at Adobe who selected me. I mentioned in a note last week that I'd had the pleasure to speak at 5 other conferences earlier this (translate)

Check Layer 1 first

I was working at about midnight the other night when I heard my little VPN app scream that it'd lost connection.. I noticed that I couldn't get out to my favorite site and checked my DSL modem.... the status light was off. So the next morning I got up and saw it was still off. I called the DSL provider, we went through the standard power off/on stuff and the regular checklist and the guy in India said he'd overnight a new modem (it still hasn't gotten here..). A little while later I remembered something from my CCNA 1 class… (translate)
