Mike Chambers have put up a nice little chat application on his weblog – lets just call it mesh on MX chat (look on the top of the page). Its based on Flash Communication Server components and the server itself (of course), with hosting from MediaTemple. I hope other hosting companies will be able to make deals resembling those that MT must have gotten (Yes, I am talking out of self interest here). The chat showcases a weakness of the components (I think), at least the chat does not seem

It had to happen, and Mario Klingemann (Quasimondo) put it together first – The Flash amazonSearch He writes about his Flash interface for Amazon in his blog: I’m currently trying to implement some things that you will have difficulties to do in HTML.

While multi-threading sounds like the domain of “hard-core” java or c++ developers, the technology and ideas can be ported to Flash. The availability of multi-threading in Flash would solve many problems. We could fix potential code bottlenecks and give the look of improved performance. Feedback during loops would certainly

This site confuses me. I am not a designer, but all the designers I have known have been kind of “neat-o” kind of people. You know, the kind that has to have that pixel just there, not an atom to the left or right — but just there. See where I am going?
