AS3BloggerLib v0.1.1 Update

Another quick update on AS3BloggerLib. I changed the package name to reflect the nobien brand. It changed from 'org.mattwright...' to 'com.nobien...'. Why you ask? First, I don't want it to be confused with the most infamous Matt Wright in the internet world. And second, I want to push the nobien name a bit more. Oh, and yes, we have a .net domain name, but there's just something weird about starting a package name with 'net', don't you think?

At any rate, I've added a new download and deprecated the old one. I've also started adding some wiki pages. Hopefully this will give all you developers out there a quick glance at the library rather than having to download it and explore the packages.

The library has only been downloaded a couple times so far, and probably isn't really being used by anyone, but if you do happen to download it, I'm really looking for some feedback so that I can make this thing the best it can be.

Flash Forward – The Day After.

We finally got around to creating a smaller version of our presentation [Designers vs. Developers ... yadda yadda yadda]. The original slides were like sixteen-billion megawatts big. This is a bit smaller.

[ FLASH FORWARD PRESENTATION FILES ]

Sorry it took up a while to do this ... We're just exhausted from FlashForward and from the german beer fest that was today. Matt's still in Boston, we're just chillin out today, playing SKATE. for the 360. Awesome game. Although we just found a huge glitch. HA!

Well .. enjoy the weekend. A big thanks goes to those who attended our presentation ... Those who didn't get no thanks at all! Jerks! heh..

Flash Forward

We'd like to say 'thank you' to everyone who attended our presentation this afternoon. We really appreciate the support. And if you were wondering, the slides will be posted tomorrow. I'm too tired to do anything right now.

We're interested in seeing what everyone thought of our presentation. Also, what would you like to see offered if we were to revamp and represent this topic again.

Thank you again. Also, if you see either Matt and myself walking around, please feel free to say hello.

AS3BloggerLib Update

Just a quick update. I've updated AS3BloggerLib with proper documentation, an SWC file, and added the first download. The project feels a bit more official now that these are up there. On top of adding this stuff I also did a bit of necessary encapsulation to clean the code up a bit. I'm sure more could be done to optimize the code, such as getting rid of the dependencies, but I'm happy with it for now. I will hopefully be providing some example files to download soon as well. Who will be the first to download?? Does anyone even care about an AS3 blogger library? Ha!

FlashForward Podcast Live

I love blogging about blog posts by bloggers. Blog.

Our interview is posted up on the FlashForward Conference blog. About two months ago, Christoph at FlashForward interviewed Matt and me over the phone. At the time, I was at Schematic. I'm no longer with Schematic, but the material still sticks since it's all about what we're going to be chatting up on Thursday. Hopefully this will entice you to stop into our presentation.

Anyways, I'm stoked about FF .. see you there!

See You at FlashForward!

Hey everyone. Just a little reminder that Marc and myself will be speaking at FlashForward in Boston on this Thursday, September 20th. Our talk is entitled Designers vs. Developers: How to Avoid Fights on the Playground. We'll be hanging out the entire conference too, so if you see us, please feel free to say hello and share some of your stories about working with "the other side". We'd love to hear them and might perhaps be able to give some advice. Travel safely, everyone!
