So, another year gone… I’m going to be looking back at my previous years analysis and building off of that. Again, this is more of a historical record for myself than anything else. My daughter, Paige, is still great. I am astounded by all that she says and does and wonder if she might be …
A FlexEvent.IDLE event will dispatch every 100 milliseconds when there has been no keyboard or mouse activity for 1 second. So, if you want to have some other method fire off after the user is inactive for 5 minutes (for example), you would set it up as detailed below. Be sure to import the following …
I took some time today to update the VidLoop AIR application. The current version is 1.2.2. New features include a randomize function and the integration of the AIR Update Framework. I’ve also fixed a few small bugs. A note of importance here… I really should have integrated the update framework before my initial public build. …
Last week, I was approached by someone asking if we could build a small application that would run a series of videos in a continual loop. I told him it would be pretty simple to do this and that it would only be an afternoon’s work in AIR. So, that evening, I was able to …
I’ve previously expressed concern that M-Audio has kept their x64 drivers in the shadows. I’m happy to report that the drivers are now in public beta and work just fine from what I can tell. Now my system is complete!
Having visited the last sessions of the day and printed out my airline boarding pass, it’s time to wind down. I’m thinking of having another salt-encrusted experience tonight as a send-off. A lot of great experiences at MAX this year including a day at Adobe HQ, some cool product announcements, stimulating networking opportunities, absolute killer …
There is really no denying it at this point for anyone who was seriously contending. Flash has the crown and is in no way giving it up. After seeing what Alchemy can do at the keynote today, P2P multicast video, Durango, and Server-Side ActionScript (!) during Sneaks this evening… Good God… what an awesome time …
WTF? Wasn’t the “Flash Platform” christened back in the Macromedia days? I’ve been calling it that ever since Macromedia released their original declarative whitepaper in October 2005… Realizing that Flash is a better name than Flex for a platform, Adobe is now referring to everything it does related to Flash (including the Flash Player, Adobe …
I was fortunate enough to attend the Adobe MAX Education Pre-Conference today and the reception afterward. The event took place at the Adobe San Francisco offices and turned out to be quite the nice experience. Special thanks to Claire Erwin, Gina Adams, and Megan Stewart for organizing this event. Lots of great stuff for educators …
The DUVAGA Projection System [VPS] has been featured in an article for the CTL Newsletter this quarter: This fall, the DUVAGA development group released a new version of the projection software which gives the user the option to use the multiple display capability in any classroom. This new version automatically detects the number of displays …
I arrived yesterday afternoon at San Francisco International. Took the BART to Powell and checked in at the Marriott. Pretty tired after the flight from Denver. SF is like Boulder on steroids crack in terms of the atmosphere and unexpectedly very hot and humid. I was going to take my longcoat but chose a small …
I’m spending a good amount of time the next few days preparing to leave Denver for San Fransisco and Adobe MAX 2008. This will be my fist MAX and will hopefully be a really nice experience with no mishaps along the way. I’m speaking on a project of mine during the FITC unconference on Wednesday …
