Phil has started to release code for his Flash RSS reader, the code he has gotten the most requests for is his scrollbars, and now he has made the code for the Flash RSS reader scrollbars available. Personally I am looking forward to be allowed to peek into his RSS parser, especially after his latest update.

There are so many great Flash projects going on. Sean Voisen at eat orange is working on integrating Flash with Jabber, his already has a Flash/Jabber Groupchat Client in early beta available for download. Sean writes: I’ve had some early interest (mainly from Jabber developers) in my Flash MX/Jabber Groupchat client. As such I’ve posted what I have for download here. Please note that this version is very alpha, and currently serves only as an illustration that chat on Jabber with Flash is very real and very possible. I think

I am sure this is interesting both for those that were there, and those of us that couldn’t attend (so we can google at some of the cool gadgets that were shown, and all the other stuff that went on during the conference). Robert Hall links to Additional Pocket PC Summit Coverage

Phil’s initial work on a Flash RSS reader has spawned another great Flash based RSS reader. Ming Chan has made a Multiblog Flash RSS Reader, it allows you to read three weblogs at a time, save your three favorite weblogs using the Flash MX shareobject, and refresh the feed to update the newsfeed. Ming says he will be working on adding automatic refresh of the feeds every x minutes, UI enhancements like rollover effect that shows actual external links, font sizes, colours, font types etc. And the ability to delete

Sometimes I am so bad at spotting news. :-) I featured Stuart Schoneveld’s web site illogicz.com not long ago, and found some of his cool projects there. Amongs them, his Flash Rich Text Editor But it took Jon Udell, then Dave Winer, then John Dowdell and finally Chris MacGregor to point out how cool it was before I got that its actually news. (Yeah, I am slow). There are some interesting links to add to this story however. Tim Appnel is adding some thoughs and questions – that I hope

Just thought I would take a minute or two to address the curtesy of link backs. Most of the time I refer to what other people have written or found, and I try my very best to link back to these people. (See the [Via ] links at the bottom of the posts). I try to make sure that I honour the work other people have put into collecting information, and make sure that those that actually do the hard work get some recognition for it. Once in a while,

Mozilla 1.0 is finally released after 4 long years of development. The Open Source project produced a good browser, but I have to say that it took some time. The release party will be held at the DNA lounge in San Francisco on the 12th of June. There will also be satellite parties at other locations around the world

Exploring Weblog Neighbourhoods with Blogdex. Inspired by Mark, and Dave, I’ve been doing a bit of neighbourhood exploration hacking of my own. DJ has made a cool little script that gives you the chance to see which neighborhood you belong to. Here is the url to check out my neighborhood: http://www.pipetree.com/~dj/cgi-bin/bdexp?url=http://weblog.bergersen.net/ [Via Jon Udell]

In the paper “Opening the Open Source Debate”, scheduled to be released friday by the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution, there are claims that Open-Source leads to less secure software than with proprietary software. The report warns goverments against relying on Open-Source software for national security. What is interesting is that Microsoft funds the Washington based think-tank. The Register – Open source invites terrorism – study: We imagine the argument will have to go something like this: Microsoft software is safer because the company carefully conceals its security flaws; thus evil

I wasn’t sure if I wanted to run this by you all, but if you are a MovableType user, and haven’t read the install notes, then shame on you, and please make sure to fix this “security problem“. If you followed the installation manual, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about. If you just installed it without making sure to remove some important files after the install (which is very clearly pointed out in the manual), then you are in trouble. Seems like there is quite a lot of people
