Duncan’s blog: For a little while this morning, I’ve experienced what life without Google would be like. For some reason, it’s down (or at least the closest cluster to me is down) this morning. Worse, I’m doing a whole bunch of research for the book and am trying to munge through with other search engines. It just drives home how valuable a resource Google has become. I found the same this weekend. Never thougth to mention it, but trying to do research while Google was down was no fun. In […]

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

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 :-)

This might be interesting for those of you writing corporate/company related blogs – such as the Macromedians. Ray Ozzie writes about Groove’s corporate weblog policy. Seems like they have thought things through in regards to the troubles the company might get into when employees blog.
