webstuff / By

John Dowdell, one of the forum surfers and participators at Macromedia writes: Thread titles I skipped over today: “Can this be done?”, “Help please”, “URGENT – going crazy!!”, “Test this?”, “This is all absorbing”, “Here is a strange one”, “printing”, “test”, “Re: books”, “Why doesn’t this work?”, “Another question!”, and pretty much anything with “CSS” or “site check” in the title. I used to be a pretty active Usenet and web forums participant, and the titles John mentions would have made me jump right over the posts. If you have […]

Follow up III: Gonzo marketing related to the Flash community

3 Comments / flash / By

CNO (Chris Norman), moderator at Flash Kit is responding to my article: Flash Kit Community – Flashkit is going under? To make such a broad and sweeping statement to sell your own ideas is somewhat reminicent of the infamous “Flash is 99% bad” soundbite.

On top of my wish list

general / By

28th of may I will be 29 for the third time, and one or more of these wouldn’t be bad. *g*. Apple seem to have produced a killer server with their Xserve server. I will probably be looking into using these boxes for web hosting/streaming later this year. Trust me, this is cool stuff (although not exactly revolutionary in any way): Mac OS X Server recognizes Mac, Windows, UNIX and Linux clients right out of the box, providing cross-platform support for key server services, such as Apache web server and

New MX Blog on my radar

flash / By

I admit I have seen this one before, but haven’t had the time to explore it until now. Waldo’s Weblog is Waldo Smeets blog which focuses on all things MX. As Waldo writes himself “Waldo Smeets, Macromedia MX freak”. With the new line of products from Macromedia being so indegrated, I am sure I’ll have to keep watching what is going on there. (Unfortunatly its another weblog without an RSS feed).

1 Comment / usability / By

Dave Winer writes about his first real eureka experience with usability, its a blast from the past – one that will be as true tomorrow as it was yesterday. DaveNet : A Brief User Interface Manifesto I remember, as if it were yesterday, my first experience with a user. I had been developing a software product for three years, all the while thinking it was easy to use. A friend who had been listening to me gush about how great it was asked if he could try it. Hesitantly I
