More proof my wife is great!
Without even knowing it, prior to our meeting, she bought a widescreen, HD capable TV.
Tom and I bought a PS3 for 360|Flex Atlanta, since he’s already equipped for gaming, and Blue Ray, I got this one. Not counting when it’s doing a tour of duty as the official Rock Band/Guitar Hero station for 360|Flex, it’s [...]
MacBook AIR limitation 1, solved
it’s well known that Steve J didn’t think any more than 1 USB port was needed on a laptop, never mind that Dell’s ship with like 8, whatever.
For those with USB port EVDO cards, all that’s needed is a USB extension, since to date, I think only 1 EVDO modem actually fits.
For those of us [...]
So I have a MacBook AIR now.
I still wouldn’t buy one with my own money. It’s just too specialized.
Tom and I ordered them for using at the conferences. We typically use our personal machines, which is great, but mine is a MBP, and his is some kind of 12 ton windoze thing, neither are light by any means.
So this way we [...]
Error -1 unable to unarchive. AAAAHHHHH
So I zipped up some old 360|Flex folders; Atlanta, Seattle, and San Jose 1, and stuff to make some room. So far so good, I could just keep the archive file in the business folder and get in it, if I need it.
Enter the MacBook AIR (More on that next), so I figure I’ll unarchive [...]
Acrobat pro, I hate you and I think we’re breaking up
I never need Acrobat pro. I use preview on the Mac for my basic PDF reading, it’s lighter, so it’s a no-brainer.
HOWEVER
today I had to review 20 PDFs, and make notes on them and even put some text in them so that I could send them off for review.
After suffering through so many stupid Adobe [...]
on my way to the Industry Leader and Creative Media Summit
Packing can be so stressful. I always worry I’ll run out of underwear!
I’m getting read to head to SFO for Adobe’s Industry Leader and Creative Media Summit. I’m not entirely sure what it means, but sounds fun nonetheless.
It should be exciting, maybe rubbing elbows whomever Adobe thinks is an industry leader :)
My main hope is [...]
Session Survey update
I’m really enjoying working on this thing, I really hope other conference organizers can take it and 1. make it better, and 2. make use of it for their events. If for no other reason, than to stop using so much paper.
I’ve been working on it a lot this week, while I figure out what [...]
the death of Flash Forward
The news this week is that Lynda.com, long time organizer of Flash Forward, has handed over (sold? How much?) ownership to Metalliq, a design shop big in Flash, Flex, Silverlight, etc. (I’ll admit I know very little beyond what the site says and what I’ve heard about Metalliq)
I’m not really that surprised, Flash Forward probably [...]
What’s the best way to Open Source a project
I’m still working on cleaning up the Survey app to release to the Open Source Community. I’m putting in a few more features I think it should have as a minimum set, but I’m curious. What’s the best way to release?
SQL scripts? Dummy data?
I’m leaning towards just SQL scripts. The Dummy data I would [...]
Ready for my next project.
I wrapped up my stint with Ribbit right before leaving for 360|Flex Atlanta, so now that I’, back in town I’m ready to get started on my next adventure.
I’m always open to Flex Dev projects, bring ‘em on. I’m in Denver, but travel ain’t no biggy :) But sorry, I’m not moving.
My ideal position, still [...]
