I am sorry, I have to admit that of the online web based RSS readers, this has to be one of the best I have seen so far: Full As A Goog: Chock Full Of Macromedia Goodness

Its made by Geoff Bowers and designed by Firda Beka and is realized with ColdFusion. Looks and works great, it might even start to compete with AmphetaDesk as my way of keeping updated on the Flash weblogs. At least when Geoff comes around to implementing some items on the wishlist, such as user added blogs.

This is just so cool. iSpell is a spelling tool that works directly in Internet Explorer to spell check everything you put into input fields. :-) It has support for US-english, canadian english, UK english and something they call 'common english'. And its free for personal and not-for-profit use.

Now I can stop cut 'n pasting between programs when I am blogging. Only downside is that it kind of gets me stuck with IE again.

Wired has an article today titled "Lots of Flash, Even More Sizzle". Apperantly their reporter Lisa Delgado will be covering the FlashForward conference in NYC.

In todays article she interviews Phillip and he lets her in on some of his mad inventions.

Mike Chambers is blogging live from the FlashForward conference going on in New York City right now.

He has already blogged about the Flash Communication Server party/presentation that Macromedia had yesterday, and is blogging the sessions/workshops he is attending today (the main conference starts tomorrow). He is obviously attending Branden Hall's sessions

Cool stuff, almost like being there ;-)

The german design/flash/web company derBauer has released a new version of their site, this time with a LOT of chrome. I think the interface looks slick, but either I am too dense to understand all of the navigation, or they actually have "dead links" in their Flash site. All in all its worth taking a look at, the slickness factor is high.

Mike Chambers writes about the questions about *nix versions of the Flash Communication Server MX

Currently, it is only available for Windows servers, but we will be releasing Unix versions later in the year.

Make sure to send which Unix flavor you prefer to the wish list. This will help us to prioritize the work.

So if you have a Unix flavor of choice you would like to see the Flash Communication Server released on, let Macromedia know. (And, just FYI - various distributions of Linux does not constitute various versoins of Unix ;-)

Personally I would like to see the Flash Communication Server made available for:

• Linux (of course, since its my server OS of choice), besides you could probably make one kick-ass communication server if you put the Flash communication server on an IBM mainframe such as the IBM S/390
• Solaris, because its a 'legacy' OS and a lot of people still swear by it
• BSD - simply because Macromedia probably will have been doing most of the job already when they port the server to...
• OS X - Apple's Xserve and the BSD based OS really should be used for all it is worth. If Macromedia do not make the server available for OS X, they will be missing out badly, IMHO. Besides - a lot of *nix hackers are moving to OS X, so its a platform they should support if they want to have more interesting implementations of the server

My brother gave me a hint about this cool comic strip - Altered Ego is about a guy that seems to think that days are made for sleeping and nights are made for.. ehh.. well.. I am not sure the main character of the strip knows either.. But one thing is for sure - he is an struggling artist ;-)

Hmm, for some reason my brother thought this was appropriate to send me as an apropos to weblogs. hehe - I am not sure if he is talking about struggling with finding stories to write himself - or if he is trying to hint that I should look for the delete button. Or maybe its about one of those days where nothing happened?
