No, its not a movie based on the old TV-series, its the new Flash 6 player from Macromedia.

But it is at least as exciting. A lot of bugs have been fixed, and there has been added support for ID3 (MP3 info) and a whole lot more. There are more information about the player in the release documents and the beta release documents.

I told you that there were too many cool projects to ignore, didn't I? Well, the Multi-threading Class looks like an interesting project. Its written by Jeremy Larkin and has been released on SwfNews today. The release is an alpha version.

While multi-threading sounds like the domain of "hard-core" java or c++ developers, the technology and ideas can be ported to Flash. The availability of multi-threading in Flash would solve many problems. We could fix potential code bottlenecks and give the look of improved performance. Feedback during loops would certainly make Jakob Nielsen happy !!

This site confuses me. I am not a designer, but all the designers I have known have been kind of "neat-o" kind of people. You know, the kind that has to have that pixel just there, not an atom to the left or right -- but just there. See where I am going?

Well, Anarchitect is the weblog of Nick Boyce using Flash 5 as the front end. It looks kind design-type like to me. And it is a new take on the old traditional blog design. But I have to be honest, even I feel like starting to tidy up the desk when I see that weblog. Makes me feel like going over to Nick and help him tidy up all his mess actually ;-)

Following up his FlashForward coverage, Mike has posted a number of links to FlashForward Pictures and FlashForward slides that has been posted online. Well worth checking out.

Nicolas S.-Roy has released a new and improved version of his Flash RSS reader, the site is now called The Daily News Monkey and includes a number of newsfeeds in various categories (of course, including the Flash blogs). Using the SharedObjects he has made sure you can add your own newsfeeds to the RSS reader. Looks good, and is fairly fast.

Mike is doing what I wish I had time for, having fun with Flash Communication Server MX. His latest fun was hooking his XBox up against the video in of his machine and sharing his playing with everyone else.

Thanks a lot Mike, now I have to go out and get myself a new video card and webcam :-) hehe

Mike also writes about his first trials with the Flash Communication Server, sounds like a lot of hard work (not).

Could someone tell me where I can buy more hours in the day?

I am trying to have some kind of a weblog vacation here - starting up a new company, trying to get some way overdue stuff done, and at the same time trying to at least sense that its summer, and then there are so many cool projects going on that I can't ignore them.

Not fair at all. But you have been warned, I will probably - most likely - hopefully, not post so much in the week(s) to come. But trust me to not keep quiet when I see something I think is cool.
