I just wanted to post this little reminder for folks to do their upgrade. I have been very happy with Fusion since jumping over from parallels about a year ago.
One of my biggest pet peeves about fusion was that when I started my Boot Camp partition it always asked for my password. But [...]
I posted about one of the new restrictions of Flash Player 9.0.115 over here on my blog. http://blog.simb.net/2008/01/17/urlrequestheader-in-as3-can-not-use-authorization-header/
In that post, I explain how the sky is falling and that we are no longer able to use the Authorization header with the URLRequestHeader object. In the post I incorrectly state that the problem [...]
I started this morning thinking I would write my fourth rant post this week. But I decided to tone this back a bit and see if I could bring some useful discussion and clarity to a problem.
So to throw a little bit of background into this for the uninitiated, Adobe AIR applications come in [...]
Just wanted to take a second to remind everybody to tell Ryan Stewart happy birthday. Our favorite RIA evangelist is turning the ripe old age of…. hell i dont know I think he is gonna be 26 or 27 (13 going on 40)?
He is going to celebrate his birthday this week by hitting the [...]
Ok, so I had my first WTF moment last night in trying to be more AS3 and flash happy. I started the FreshBooks API AS3 Library, and I tested it in Flex 3 and AIR. It worked great. Just so that the FreshBooks folks would know I started the project, I hit [...]

I posted about the Flex Roadshow here and here. Ryan Stewart from Adobe will be here next Tuesday to share with us all the goodies in Flex 3 and AIR which are both soon to be released. Only problem: We only have about 10 registration slots left. Thats right folks, there are [...]
Ok, so polygeek posted this neat little swf the other day. He had a swf which contained a TextField and he had applied a drop shadow to the text. Then he updated this so that when you moved your mouse cursor around, the drop shadow moved as if the cursor was the light [...]
I started using Freshbooks to do client invoicing and time tracking and have been very happy. When I saw they had an API to allow you to interact with their system I was very excited. Not because I need that, but because its an option. I started kicking around the API documentation [...]
I would like to think I am pretty good with the tools that make up the Flash platform. If you wanna talk Flex or AS3 I am your man. But I have come to realize that my flash skills are not up to par. Now what I mean by that is that [...]
