Macromedian bloggers
This is plenty neat. Just discovered that there are a number of Macromedia employees with weblogs. The ones I have found so far are: John Dowdell (support / community guy) Mike Chambers (Flash/ColdFusion/community/etc) Vernon Viehe (ColdFusion) Matt Brown (Dreamweaver/MX) Bob Tartar (Director) If you want to get plugged-in to what is going on in Macromedia, keeping an eye on these fellows is probably a good idea..

Weblogs galore
In addition to Radio that I purchased for its outliner, but that also includes all the workings of a weblog publishing system, and news aggregator, I have found a new piece of software that makes my days keeping updated on what is new on the weblogs I visit a whole lot easier. The programs name is AmphetaDesk, and to quote the makers of AmphetaDesk: AmphetaDesk is a news aggregator – it sits on your desktop, downloads the latest news that interests you, and displays them in a quick and easy

Flash MX Security Whitepaper
David Emberton writes at ActionScript.com : Flash MX Security Whitepaper Twenty three pages of what you need to know about the Flash Player 6 sandbox security system, and how it can help you build better dynamic apps. […] Flash Player 6 features a more sophisticated setup. Each movie loaded from a separate domain exists in its own “sandbox,” effectively cutting it off from additional domains unless you specificy them via the System.security object.

Battle Beyond the Banner
ABCNEWS.com writes about Online Ads Become Active and Intrusive. They have all failed, banner ads, skyscrapers, pop-up ads, etc. We all ignore them, and almost nobody click on them anymore. Click through rates used to be at 5-6% in the early days of the web, but now the average click through rate is two-tenths of a percent. The next move is commercials you won’t be able to ignore, full page ads that separate you from the content you want to see. For Flash developers, there should be a lot more

Flazoom: Come on… upgrade!
Chris MacGregor has called out to Come on… upgrade! Amongst other, he writes: With the advanced features of Flash MX, including the long-awaited standard UI components, we in the Flash community need to promote the Flash 6 plug-in on our sites. From a usability perspective alone, having standard interactions that work the same across different Flash sites (like scroll-bars) is a tremendous boost to the user-experience that Flash offers Having the Flash 6 player accepted as soon as possible will most certainly be beneficial to everyone producing Flash content, in

Netron RIP
My last employer Netron is filing for bankruptcy, its really sad to see a company with creativity, spirit and courage to go their own way going down the drain. For Netron it was the total silence in the market after 9-11 that did it. The company never recovered after having to go months without much work. I wish the best for all the people I worked with, each of them became dear friends and I will miss working together with them on a daily basis, but hopefully we will all
