  • Flashcom Bible: My Chapters Donated to the Community

    I haven’t heard back from Wiley. I told them I’d be releasing this Monday, but figured I’d give them all day. No word.

    The rate of decay and time of usefulness on these chapters is small, so the sooner the community has access to them, the better.

    I’m sorry there wasn’t something I could do to facilitate this book coming out sooner ladies and gents; those minute times I had working with fellow writers & the editors, it was pretty cool, but the communication, from what I heard of others experiences, was a cluster flizz-narge, and it was not to long after the fall of Friends of Ed and friends where publishers were working on obtaining existing projects, so were busier than normal and stretched being their usual thresholds, I’m sure. However, I never heard back on the status of the project, nor got paid, nor got a response to me asking about giving these chapters away today.

    At any rate, hopefully this helps some of you in your Flashcom projects. Here are the 4 chapters I wrote for the vaporware book:

    <a href=”https://www.jessewarden.com/downloads/Flashcom_Bible.zip”>The Flash Communication Server MX Bible</a>

    – Chapter 13: Using Flashcom Server Components
    – Chapter 16: Creating Flash Communication Server Components
    – Chapter 17: Monitoring the Performance of Your Flash Communication Server
    – Chapter 25: Flashcom & Director for Multi-user Gaming Environs

  • WinAMP TV

    I accidentally found this feature this morning. I was wondering where the hell WinAMP was keeping my “bookmarks” and favorites. I got sick of typing in my radio station via IE. In that big window that opens up, there was an Internet TV link. They have everything from 24 hour rave videos, bootleg Smashing Pumpkins concerts, Anime, and pR0n with rave music in the background. It’s pretty phat because the window has room for an instance of the IE ActiveX which displays the provider’s chosen webpage. The rave one is based in… a dot co.kr domain… don’t know where the heck that is, but they pick some phat music to stream, and got a nice pixel art DJ chik. Anyway, it’s just crazy that I just found this today, and that there is this much media content in WinAMP; my, how far she’s come from version 2… 3 and 4 were just bad memories. I wish I knew what codec they were using for the video and audio.

  • WTF is occasionally connected?

    Question brought up on the Central Dev list by Phillip Kerman in what it would take to convince the peeps at MSN to conver this app to Central. Looking at the Help for MDataGrid, it already has a Centrino logo, <strike>so maybe something similiar has already been done, similiar to Intel’s Hotspot finder for Central</strike> which is from Intel’s Hotspot Finder app.

    At any rate, the Flash movie, although slow, shows how a laptop get’s online, and then later off. It showcases how their app downloads the latest content, and caches it so when the user is offline on the airplane, they can still utilize their applications as if they were online… just like Central can do with it’s advanced caching capabilities and and local media storage.
