10pm MDT Second Life chatlecture on building community

9pm PDT (SLT as well) tonight Tom (and myself since he invited me) will be talking about building community virtually. If you read this blog, or the conference blog, or Tom’s, you’ll know that building and supporting community are big deals to us. The conferences obviously are physical community, but there’s more than just the [...]

360Flex changes in the air

First off, if you’ve gone to a 360|Flex event or plan to someday, go answer this three question survey. Your answer will impact how Tom and I do business, and we spend your money at future events. Since starting the planning efforts for 360|Flex Europe, and our as yet unofficially announced East Coast event, things [...]

While I wait for my buddies at Cruxy to finalize a payment API…

I think I’ll build a Flex app, or maybe AIR, I really do like the deskop metaphor… maybe I’ll do a Flex app with an Air version? Anyway, I’ll be building a little tool for managing your goodreads account. They’ve got an API (i just discoverd) so it should be fun. They’ve got a few [...]

My Questions on ColdFusion and Flex remoting projects

I’m working on making my wife’s website over as a Flex app. Since it’s currently a CF site, I figured I’d do it as a Flex remoting project. In getting it set up it occured to me I haven’t deployed a project like this to a hosted environment. Flexcoders is great but searches for ‘Remoting’ [...]

Jailbreak!! Jailbreak!!

So last night I came across a post on TUAW about two new GUI jailbreak apps. GUI? no need to put my linux hacker hat on?   iJailbreak (for intel macs only, for now) is great. There’s a few commentors bitchin’ about it not working, my guess is maybe they weren’t patient. Some reported it [...]

360Conferences VideoLibrary… close, still not pretty

the 360Conferences Video Library app is getting close. I haven’t tested with anything buy paypal, but you can now browse our content, and purchase a session. I haven’t handled downloading the content directly from the app, you still have to use the email that is sent to you to get the actual media file. That’s [...]

home from MAX, my thoughts.

MAX is always fun. DevCon under Macromedia was fun too. Sessions: Too many. There’s having choice, then there’s having choice paralysis. Particularly when said choices might be across the entire McCormick from each other. Some one said that on Tuesday, the 1:30pm had 51 sessions. 50! I’m thinking it may be time to split out [...]

Two ways to programmatically work with a combobox, and still use the change event handler

The project I’m working on required that we have two drop downs, and that they be preselected to the first option. Sounds good, except that one of the drop downs had a ‘change’ event handler, that would do ‘some stuff’ based on the selection. Obviously just selecting the first item wasn’t a very good solution, [...]

Back in the Labor Pool. AKA Cool Flex and community evangelism job wanted

Flex and Evangelism? Yup, that’s right. My time at XylemCCI has come to end. Don’t worry we’re still friends, and won’t be telling our friends they have to chose one of us over the other… (I’d win, but whatever, we’re still friends) So what am I looking for? It’s pretty straight forward, really. I’m a [...]
