Proposed … a MAX 2005 Flash Mobile Social Gathering? What do you think?

I’m imagining it would be small get together in a social setting (meaning drinks would be on-hand … everyone pays their own way or buys drinks for one another).

This would be open to anyone who is into Flash Mobile (ppc, FL, Flash Cast, etc) …

Anyone interested? Post below with ideas … I’m thinking it would be maybe an hour or two sometime in the evening on one of the conference days.

“Forthcoming” titles we can look forward to from Friends of Ed.

I know Keith has posted on his blog about getting his stuff finalized … the others, well I’d expect them over the next few months … most of them say November release … but those are estimates …

Other Flash 8 books coming out?

I’m sure there is a Flash 8 Magic book in the works, and probably Flash 8 Bible from IDG. Others? I’d love to see a AS 2.5 book from Moock (the Flash 8 Essentials sounds familiar).

C’ya MT, hello Wordpress. I’ve made the switch. So far so good.

Also, I’ve come up with this new design. This was the second of 3 designs.

If you have problems with a browser, or can’t find a resource please email. I made best efforts to plan, but unforunately moving a blog isn’t as easy as one would
like.

“Do-not call” lists not working for you?

If you answered a resounding, yes, you’ll likely want to build yourself one of these devices … especially, if you’re the kind of person that subscribes to MAKE magazine.

Meet the Telecrapper 2000, a “revolutionary” new device.

For an immediate FLASH DEMO (uahhhh, just click on it, be brave).

I do not advocate the sadistic nature of this device on legitmate callers.

Ok, so the Flash Player 8 was released some time ago … the obvious question is penetration rate … well, this free communitymx article - Pushing Flash 8 by Robert has some insight …

It’s been so long, I had forgotten that FP7 had the check update feature (enabled by default for 30 day checkups).

If all goes as planned, we should see a higher penetration rate … why?

Most people think of updates in terms of Windows updates … meaning most mom & pop types are likely to download because they think it probably fixes some security hole.

A nice little flash game I came across by lukefeiner.

What, no ipod nano case/sleeve?

Apparently, as far as I can tell there is no case for the nano until October timeframe, PLUS I’m not even sure if they will create ipod armor for it … but not to fret.

I just noticed the ipod nano fits nicely into an altoids container … much like my optio camera … so with a little make shift padding you can store your nano in there … you could even get fancy and drill a hole(s) in the side for the earphone jack and connector … instant case mod for < $2.00.

Flash Quirks.

We know they are there. Sometimes they are in fact bugs, othertimes they are undocumented pitfalls in Flash … othertimes they are … uhemmm .. user error.

Sometimes I ‘m surprised there isn’t a flash “best practices” type book … (the o’reilly hacks book is more tricks). Moock’s books are the closest I suppose … but, Macromedia should be commended for putting comments into their help docs … I can’t count how many times that’s saved everyone from banging their heads against the wall because something crucial was left out of docs … don’t get me wrong, Flash is a great product, it’s just more involved than most people realize, especially when you try to maximize it’s capabilities.
