Flash in Norwegian

1 Comment / flash / By

Congratulations is in order for my good friend Jensa on his first finished book project! It should be in stores soon, and is already available on some norwegian online book stores. The bad news for most of the people of the world is that the book is in Norwegian – a language only 0,09% of the world population actually uses from day to day. The book is about the concepts of Flash MX. The title “Forstå Flash MX – Fra topp til bunn”, or “Understand Flash, from top to bottom”. […]

2002 Flash site deaths – and what wasn’t done about it

5 Comments / flash / By

There has been quite a lot of “deaths” in the Flash resources the last year. Its especially noticeable for me, since I edit for some humanly indexed catalogs of internet sites. One of the flash sites and discussion forums that disappeared in 2002 was were-here.com – a domain that is about to expire, and I can only wonder who will snap it up. Other causalities are “zombies”, that is – sites there are still around in a way, but are only corpses of the sites they used to be, abandoned

I now have the right to know who YOU are

At least if you live in the USA. Using the DMCA subpoena provision, RIAA managed to convince a Washington D.C. Judge that they should be allowed access to information about a Kazaa user identity from the users ISP Verizon Internet Service. The Judge apparently believes that any copyright owner should be allowed access to any net users identity, just by the merits of alleged copyright violations. Now, since this weblog is copyright protected — I should also be able to claim copyright violation from anyone downloading it without my written

The patent system is sick

2 Comments / general / By

And it seems to be especially ill in the US. Lately a lot of crazy patents has surfaced as the companies that succeeded acquiring them have tried to enforce them. The latest evidence of the illness and cluelessness of the patent system as it is today, is the news story about SBC Communications (american telco and ISP), a company that claims they have a patent on “A structured document browser includes a constant user interface for displaying and viewing sections of a document that is organized according to a pre-defined

New Macromedian weblogger: Mike Williams

weblogs / By

Mike Williams, the Flash product manager for Macromedia, has set up his own weblog. I am sure there will be a lot of interesting posts and discussions on his blog about Flash. Flashback MW Nice to see Mike Williams also choosing MovableType (somehow I feel the influence of Mike Chambers on that decision :-) Just a note to Mike Williams: You really should include a “powered by MovableType” to pay homage to the great work of the developers which allow so many of us to have such a powerful tool

Mike Chambers upgrades his blog

3 Comments / weblogs / By

Very nice to see Mike Chambers, the Macromedia Flash community manager upgrade his weblog and layout – and moving it to his own server: mesh on mx The redesign is very classy, and done by Josh Dura. Mike is now using Movable Type (welcome in the club Mike), and of course – using MT together with ColdFusion. (Personally I have chosen to use MovableType together with PHP). Its a lot of fun being able to use several technologies to put together a blog :-)

Waiting for a cool gadget: Neuros Audio

gadgets / By

I sometimes write about gadgets that are cool. Quite a few of them is in the making, and it seems to be a trend to launch information about them, sites and even ordering – loooong before they ever ship. Which often makes us have to suffer the long wait and anticipation until they are released. One such gadget is the Neuros MP3 Digital Audio Computer, its a neat concept. A radio, radio transmitter, MP3 (and hopefully Ogg Vorbis) player, it has mic and line in, the ability to record from
