I am a bottleneck at work. It’s made worse by the fact that 30% of my day is spent coding. The rest is working with co-workers on implementation details for projects and working project managers on time estimations & resource allocations. So, even the 30% of my day that I do get to code is fraught with distractions. Telecommuting has helped some since those days, I can focus more, but not much.

Mobile: Flash Player 9 vs. Flash Lite 3
Peter Elst had a good post updating us on the ecosystem of Flash on Mobile. His point about Flash Lite 3 vs. Tamarin-Tracing got me thinking.
As an American, I’m uber-confused on which VM to hedge my bets on. Do I continue writing components for Flash Lite in AS2 awaiting the day when I’ll actually get a paying gig/job doing it? Or, do I bide my time for Tamarin-Tracing? Or are phones getting fast enough where they can run Flash Player 9 natively? I think the last question is irrelevant because Adobe wouldn’t have spent all that effort on Tamarin-Tracing if it wasn’t valid.
If you were Steve Jobs, which one would you put on the iPhone?

Going to MIX 2008
I don’t think I made the business case. Rather, I think my uber-focused CTO wants to see visible proof of Silverlight 2 being a valid platform to build comparable front-ends for video & media players like we already do with Flash Player. So, we’re both hitting Las Vegas in March to attend MIX 2008.

Yahoo AS3 Maps API & FlightAware in Flex: Part Deux of Deuuuuuuux
Uploaded my source code for the FlightAware app shown in my last entry – source | ZIP. I’ve only done a little documentation; aka, on the header of each class. Keep in mind I wrote this in 20 blazing fast hours with no sleep, so ignore quality & practices. The only thing you should really care about are 2 things.
