  • DRK 3: I lost and won

    What used to be called “Developers Resource Kit”, now called “DevNet Resource Kit”, but still the same thing, has a new volume out today:

    DevNet Resource Kit Volume 3

    She’s a beast, too!

    Bad news is that I didn’t get to do a Tab component for it, nor the Tabbed Pane that comes with it. Good news is that my Flashcom & Director integration article made it onto the CD! I’ll be writing an article next week for <a href=”http://www.communitymx.com”>CMX</a> about using some of the new Flash components on DRK3.

  • JXL.getAge() == 24 & Reference Panel Side Treks

    <b>Birthday</b>
    I turned 24 Saturday morning while the birds were singing next to a rushing stream with a curled dog at my feet and a fine uber-geek chica at my side and homies on the other side of the river. I got some phat gifts:
    – The Transporter on DVD
    – A Speak-i-fier: basically, a suction cup with audio input that turns any surfact into a speaker
    – an Atari joystick that hooks into your TV’s audio in/video in, takes 4 AA’s, and has 10 old-school Atari games on it
    – a nice D&D’ish T-shirt from <a href=”http://www.thinkgeek.com”>thinkgeek.com</a>

    I have the bestest friends, yo.

    <b>What to do while waiting for the Reference Panel to open</b>
    For those of you on XP, I list some things to do while your Reference panel opens in Flash MX:
    – get up for a new drink and to rest your eyes
    – launch WinAMP and pick a song
    – start dinner
    – follow up on un-read emails
    – clear off your desk of trash
    – stretch
    – check <a href=”http://www.fullasagoog.com”>Full As A Goog</a> for new entries

  • Central Revisited

    Listening to this <a href=”http://marketing.product.breezecentral.com/p45237277/” target=”_blank”>Central presentation</a> (done in <a href=”http://www.macromedia.com/software/breeze/” target=”_blank”>Breeze</a>, btw). It felt so good to hear the statement Lea Hickman made during the presentation at slide 10, 00:50 seconds in, “…basically builds a front-end to the PriceGrabber web service…”.
