Flash RSS Reader 1.5

8 Comments / flash, weblogs / By

Version 1.5 of the Flash RSS Reader has been released today. The reader now sports categories as well as a favorites category where you can add the Flash newsfeeds that you want to read. The real news in version 1.5 is the ability to add any newsfeed supporting RSS 0.91, which means that the Flash RSS reader now have become a general RSS reader, very nice. The reader gives you the option to set the Favorites category as the default start up category. This is great work from Phil Chung. […]

JoshDura.com is (surprise surprise) Josh Dura’s weblog, Josh is know as a moderator at FlashKit.com, co-founder of the Flashcomponent.com website, and involved Flash community member.

Flash blogs: Quasimondo

2 Comments / flash, weblogs / By

Found a new Flash blog today, its called Quasimondo. I haven’t gotten this confirmed yet, but the site seems to belong to Collin Croome [Update] The Quasimondo blog is actually run by Mario Klingemann of Coma2.com. Thats how it goes when guessing :-) There are some interesting projects on the site: Flash Photoshop EPS Parser with the source code for those that want to try it. Its slow, but it works. Take note of how you have to save the EPS file from Photoshop.. And the follow-up project: dot-couture.com which

The future of the RSS/News aggregator

weblogs / By

Interesting discussions going on. Dave Winer is writing up a document called “What is a News Aggregator?” A news aggregator is a piece of software that periodically reads a set of news sources, in one of several XML-based formats, finds the new bits, and displays them in reverse-chronological order on a single page. Deus X (0xDECAFBAD) takes things a bit futher, wanting to redefine the News Aggregator: Aggregators desperately need to grow toward more flexibility and scan-ability. A few things I’d really like to see addressed: De-emphasis of seen &

1st Movement Flash RSS Reader

flash, software, weblogs / By

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

A rant about linking back

4 Comments / rants and raves, weblogs / By

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,

Cool little script to explore my weblog neighborhood

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]

MovableType Warning (or what happens when you don’t read the manual)

movabletype, weblogs / By

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

Flash blogs: Philter’s Blog and Phil Chung’s comments about the RSS/XML reader

flash, weblogs / By

Nice to see Phil Chung have his own weblog up and running. He has taken the time to counter some of the comments that has been made about his XML Flash reader and the RSS Flash reader. Seems like both my RSS news reader and the Macromedia XML reader are getting more exposure than I expected. It’s interesting to hear some of the comments coming from a variety of sources…several of which are counting out these readers BECAUSE they are made in Flash. Read his comments in full.
