360Conferences Video Library Alpha Download.

it’s rough, and not overly useful yet, but it’s coming a long nicely. Cruxy is working on their payment API, so as soon as that’s all settled, I’ll implement that. Take a look, download it, install it. Gimme some ideas (or better yet, some help) on skinning and styling it. I started off with a [...]

AIR, FlexMDI, and Cruxy

Oh yeah and Cairngorm… just before the guys announced FlexMDI I was playing with an AIR App that uses Cruxy‘s API for browsing their media. The reason? I thought it’d be cool to offer a neat desktop library of 360Conferences materials. It started out as a regular ol’ AIR app, but now I’ve dropped FlexMDI [...]

Greetings Programs!

First saw this on the SF-F blog " Commercial director Joseph Kosinski is in final negotiations to develop and direct "Tron," described as "the next chapter" of Disney’s 1982 cult classic. Sean Bailey is producing via the Live Planet banner, as is Steven Lisberger, who co-wrote and directed the original film. " How frakkin’ cool! [...]

360Flex videos are starting to get uploaded

In case you missed it, and even if you didn’t. We’re finally getting the session recordings up on Cruxy. We’ve got 5 now, more coming. It’s a slow process, sorry, can’t be helped. We’ll also be putting the Adobe content on cruxy for .50 which will cover the hosting fees. I wanted to take a [...]

If you don’t know about Visibone, check ‘em out

I’ve known about visibone for years, but hadn’t given it much thought. I had one of their mouse pads, for a while and left it behind at a contract job, so it occured to me to track down a new one. I had the octagon, and it was a little warpy so I wasn’t bummed [...]

salarymap.com a google maps mashup

Google is so fun to mash up. Well I assume it is, folks sure like making cool mashups with map data in them. Including my pal Tom (not this Tom). He created SalaryMap, so that people (IT Folks primarily, I think) could see what the salary playing field looked like. It’s a cool idea, and [...]

Twitter blocks, cool!

Useless, but cool. Such is the life of most cool visual tools it seems. That said, I stumbled on this little gem when loading my twitter homepage, and they had an add for "find out what’s new" or something. At any rate, check it out. I just found it two minutes before posting, so I [...]

360|Flex East Coast, where

So Tom and I are actively looking at Cities for our East Coast venue. What do you think? Jeff, no worries connecticut is already on the list ;) if you’re an attendee, you should have an email with a link to our end of conference survey, if you haven’t filled it out, do it! There’s [...]

Good bye Ameriquest, I knew thee well.

Well ‘knew’ in the sense that they employed me a few years back. It’s funny to see a company, who’s self proclaimed motto/mission was "Do the right thing" I think in hindsight, that was really "Do the right thing so that Roland can buy another house". The Denver post has a short write up on [...]

Setting up webORB for a non .NET guy… jeez Microsoft!

So Devin and I are looking at WebORB for work, since we’re (hopefully) wrapping up our XML over HTTP nightmare, and have no interest in repeating it. The .NET guys are doing their own research into WebORB, but we wanted to take a look from a Flex Developer angle, plus neither of us is a [...]
