Ok, so i’ve made it through to the other side here in Minnesota. I’m sat in the hotel lobby saying goodbye to people as they crawl through to their airport cab. Last night’s party at Nye’s was something to behold - the cream of the international flash development industry belting out ‘Sweet Caroline’ - it’s [...]
I’m sat here in a state of half-sleep at FlashBelt - it’s about 10am on the second day and i just can’t get to sleep - l’m relating to that line in Withnail & I  - ‘i fear we are drifting into the arena of the unwell’. Still it’s been great so far. My session [...]
I’m still a video game geek at heart.  Wasting time last week, I came across a website, www.snarfdog.com, which appeared to sell some really nice shirts, or so I thought.  I found a slick looking Atari shirt and ordered it right away. Check out the difference between what I saw and ordered on the site [...]
TwistImage, the company I work for is currently looking for a freelancer for a small project. That project is a small game and is not very complex, but it would require some skill in ActionScript 2 (intermediary level). The freelancer would have to be free the next two weeks (we need this project fast) and [...]
Today I upgraded my flash player to version 9.0.124 and I'm referring to the debug version of it. The upgrade went OK on IE, I downloaded the version for IE from Adobe's download page (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/9/flashplayer_9_ax_debug.exe), I installed it and everything worked out. I was thinking: "Great! That was easy! Let's do it for Firefox also...". I [...]
No joke, I just got this shirt in the mail from my dad. Thanks Dad.

The morning after the wedding, we flew to Seattle to catch a cruise ship bound for the Alaskan Inside Passage. Our ship was the Norwegian Pearl and it departed around 4:00 pm in route to Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Ketchikan, Victoria and finally back to Seattle over a period of 7 days. The [...]
We held both the wedding and the reception at The Salt Lick just South of Austin. The weather was beautiful and the location was perfect. The ceremony was held in front of the mansion, overlooking the vineyards. We kept the ceremony short so that everyone could get to the BBQ and [...]
What a great day! Our wedding went off without a hitch. Everything when smoothly and everyone seemed to have a great time. Once the wedding was over, Megan and I boarded a ship headed to Alaska to begin our honeymoon. On the first day at sea (we sail for 36 hours [...]
This video is over a year old, but perhaps even more pertinent considering world challenges facing us today (US inflation, growing oil costs, changing geopolitical climate in Russia, etc, etc.)… But really, you must watch this video. The message is of course fantastically important and the charting and data visualization is just amazing. He makes [...]
The Adobe User Group Netherlands has organized a bustrip from the Netherlands to belgium…yes, an oldschool bustrip ! The FREE Multimania event will be held on the 23rd of this month, and will feature speakers like Aral Balkan, Mario Klingemann, Jason Levine, Serge Jespers, Dave Schroeder and incidentally, I, Ralph Hauwert will be speaking there [...]
Today is my first day working for EffectiveUI, that’s one of the reasons I have been away for a while. Too busy finishing up at TFE, and also the late night chats and phone calls with EffectiveUI. So I switched and hopefully I can show some more Flex3D stuff, now I work for EffectiveUI. I’m looking [...]
MXNA is back and it is now called feeds.adobe.com. It also runs way faster. I was wondering when they would change the url that contained Macromedia to something containing Adobe instead and it looks like that time is now. I am really happy it is back up because I felt all alone not knowing what [...]
Dan McAdams has posted a quick guide to help people get up and running with the CoverFlow Flex component SWC file. This component has generated a lot of interest, which is great, but it also means that there are a lot of people who are brand new to Flex (and hence don’t know how to [...]
Dave Schroeder has very kindly invited me to talk at FlashBelt this year. After meeting Dave at FITC Toronto i’m really looking forward to it. I’ll be talking about the new PaperWorld3D set up i announced in the last post as well as using the FORCE for creating complex multi-user apps. I’ll be posting all the source [...]
One of the overwhelming problems with PaperWorld3D so far has been the steep learning curve. People are having trouble getting the demo to even work, never mind get to grips with the underlying principles involved. This is a Bad Thing. So, to try and remedy this situation i’ve looked at splitting out the important bit of the [...]
One of the simplest yet most useful aspects of the LC ES Service model is that all Services have a WSDL; be they Services that we provide out of the box, Services that you write using custom component development or even processes that you author using Workbench. One problem is that there are so many [...]
