Another Flash blog, SwfNews: News For Flash Developers. Its Matt Rice that is running it. It seems light – not much information there yet. Dave Winer is linking to it, I think he should have linked to some of the other more meaty Flash blogs too. (No, I am not talking about mine – I am just meta-blogging most of the time).

FlashGuru is back with a new remake of his site – now titled FlashGuru’s MX 101, this time based on Moveable Type (good choice Guy!) I only discovered that it was back today, not sure how long it has been available. He has already posted a lot of interesting news blurbs. The only thing I am missing is a link to the RSS feed. Yeah, I know I tend to nag about the XML RSS feed, but for a good reason, it makes keeping updated a lot easier – I

Macromedia – Designer & Developer : Logged In : Blogs are HUGE Ed Krimer, Vice President of Developer Community writes about the Macromedia weblog experiment : Almost immediately, other bloggers started referring to our blogs in their daily entries. Most bloggers seemed pleasantly surprised that Macromedia was encouraging some of its employees to create and update blogs on a regular basis. When Wired wrote about us, we knew for sure we had done something very different. I don’t think though we’re quite ready for Barbara Walters – yet. [Via Mike

At the beginning of this month OpenOffice released version 1.0 of their office suite. I haven’t had the time to check it out before now. I used to use Sun’s StarOffice (which is now out in version 6.0, selling for about 80 dollars). OpenOffice 1.0 is an impressive package, and is replacing StarOffice 5.2 on my system.

Still fun to see it move on in yet another form. :-)

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
