Adobe opens Bug-Database to public

— By

Saw this off Colin’s blog — Public bug database for flash player.

Adobe got a sparkling new public place to report and track bug-database for Adobe Softwares and Technologies. In Colin’s own words,

Beyond its usefulness as a feedback channel for developers, the bugbase should be a nice resource for checking on known issues and their workarounds. The system also gives participants the option to voice support for fixes to existing bugs, which will help Adobe prioritize their engineering efforts based on community feedback.

DAREAmongst all the Adobe Media Player and Adobe TV articles that swamped my RSS Feed Reader today, there was a lone but very interesting article from Ted Patrick – DARE.

DARE will simplify AIR Application development for XHTML/JS/CSS Developers. They can easily develop AIR Apps pretty much like developing a HTML App — no compilation — just develop, “refresh” and you got your AIR App.

Making NSFW Safer

— By

NSFW
NSFW make a safer shorter URL of your NSFW links.

I had the idea of NSFW for quite a while after seeing a service and after being embarrassed in front of my team when a friend send me a link via TinyURL, “Hey, look at this. This is really funny!” Well, the link turn out to be some animating GIF which was a little way beyond funny and bordering on the lines of being a-bit-of-porn!

Currently, NSFW allows you to send a shortened URL which are Not-Safe-For-Work with a warning that the content/link outgoing onwards is NOT-SAFE-FOR-WORK. That’s it. Either you go ahead or not is up-to you.

Try out NSFW.in and see how you can use it?

Twitter client Twhirl acquired by Seesmic

— By

TwhirlThe acquisition of Twhirl, for an undisclosed amount, by Seesmic is an interesting news from many angle, the most interesting being Twhirl an AIR application which can run on both Windows and Mac, and of course on Linux.

Twhirl is a popular desktop Twitter client, based on the Adobe AIR platform, developed by Marco Kaiser. Besides being able to acess Twitter service directly from the Desktop, Twhirl also cross post to other services like Pownce and Jaiku.

Twhirl is one of the best Desktop Twitter clients available, amongst others like Twitterific and Instant Messenger Clients. Seesmic plans to enhance the application further and eventually make it the official Seesmic Desktop Client.

I hope this news made a sudden burst of interest among Windows, Mac and Linux AIR Developers.

Peter Elst: What’s new in ActionScript 3.0

— By

Here is a recent podcast from Peter Elst on “What’s new in ActionScript 3.0.” Peter Elst is a certified Flash instructor, Adobe Community Expert, and User Group Manager for the MMUG Belgium. Peter explains what ActionScript 3.0 is capable of and how you can take advantage of it.

Flash has come a long way since the dawn of the unfortunate skip intro phenomena that swept the web in the late 90′s. Especially when it comes to ActionScript things have evolved spectacularly. ActionScript 3.0 is now able to do things never thought possible on the web.

In the Podcast Peter Elst demonstrated exciting new features that are now available to developers, showed inspiring open source projects including several 3D engines, protocol implementations and much more.
