On the top of the cool scale: AMF PHP

flash, php / By

This is plenty cool. The reverse engineering of Macromedia’s proprietary data format AMF (ActionScript Message Format) has spawned a project on Sourceforge – AMF PHP – Flash remoting for PHP The reverse engineering of Macromedias AMF format is still in progress, but is already looking very promising. Only wish Macromedia themselves would have released the format so anyone could use it, without having to reverse engineer it first. Oh, and MM, please don’t kill this project off… [Via ActionScript.com]

Interesting Gates interview about bugs in MS software

software / By

I knew this before, as it has been stated by marketing zombies at the Redmond company, but its the first time I have seen it states as blunt as in this interview with Mr. Gates himself. Basically: Microsoft does not release software to fix bugs. Many people would argue they don’t fix bugs at all, and after reading this interview, I would say that Mr. Gates all but confirms that. FOCUS Magazine Interview with Bill Gates: Microsoft Code Has No Bugs FOCUS: But there are bugs an any version which

NameProtect – NPBot

9 Comments / rants and raves / By

[Update: More information about NPBot and Nameprotect] Found a link to this cute little bot in my referer log: NameProtect Inc :: NPBot Notification Interesting to see someone so openly telling people they are looking for “intellectual property violations”. I wonder if they respect my copyright.. They say they identify with the NPBot user-agent string, which would make filtering out any attempts by the bot pretty easy, or even better – serving up content that did not in-fridge on any copyright if you are into giving away stolen goods. So

A year of blogging

1 Comment / rants and raves / By

Its interesting to note that it has almost been a year of blogging, and that my blog has gone through some changes over the last year. It started out as my personal arena to just rant about everything and nothing — as the subtitle of my blog indicates “the ramblings of jarle dahl bergersen”. Later it would turn into a “Flash blog” because of my interest in Flash. after all I was working in one of Norway’s leading flash design/development companies and at the same time one of the editors

Flash or politics?

9 Comments / rants and raves / By

Some Macromedian bloggers has raised the issue of “Flash blogs” spamming with political content. JD started it (as far as I can tell) with his post about “Spamming aggregators“. To you John, I’d like to say: Sorry if you don’t like what I am saying, but from that to accusing me (and others) of spamming aggregators. Come on! First of all, remember that the Flash blogs are personal blogs from people investing their time and money into keeping the community informed on what is going on — they are not
