Adobe MAX 2008: Day Two Wrap-Up

Day Two was, all in all, a pretty good day for me.
Started off with the Fireworks Business Website mockup session I blogged earlier about.
Best session of the day was, not surprisingly, Lee Brimelow’s session where he introduced the new features of Flash CS4. Let me just say this - if you haven’t looked at the [...]

Adobe MAX Day Two (cont’d)

Just left the “Quickly Mockup a Business Website” - another Fireworks session. Seems like there are lots of Flex, lots of AIR, and lots of Fireworks sessions here. *Very* little Flash IDE-based sessions. It’s just Flex Flex Flex. I’ve felt this way for a couple of years and now I don’t think I’m wrong. Things [...]

MAX 2008: Day Two Notes

Keynote -
Thermo is now officially titled Adobe Flash Catalyst. I’m one of the lucky few that got a prerelease build of that along with the latest prerelease of Flex Gumbo, but of course here at MAX it is ‘uncool’ to not be an Apple fanboy so Adobe only gave out the Mac version prerelease of [...]

At Adobe MAX 2008: My Notes from Day One Pre-Conference Session

It’s the first break and I want to jot down my notes.
I couldn’t get into the Flex session that I wanted to attend - it was booked solid right when it was first offered. C’mon Adobe - knowing it’s been booked solid for months couldn’t you have scrapped together another conference room or at least [...]

My IP Hasn’t Changed Since the T-Mobile@Home Firmware Update

A couple of months ago I applied the latest firmware update for the T-Mobile@Home/Linksys router and have not experienced any issues with the service since. In particular the ‘blue light’ special (service outage). I, with the help of some great readers/comments, was pretty certain that the reason the blue light was going out on the [...]

I’ll be at Adobe MAX 2008 in San Francisco. Anyone Else?

This Saturday morning I’m heading off to the airport to fly to San Francisco (awesome city!) for the Adobe MAX conference. I’ve been wanting to go to this conference for 4 or 5 years now, ever since I first really fell in love with the Flash platform, and started using all of the then Macromedia [...]

It took 8 months to realize it, but Vista really does suck.

I’m an operating system junkie. I’m on an eternal quest for the perfect operating system. One of these days I’ll admit that there is no such thing. I’ve tried all of the ‘big 3′ (Windows, Apple OS X, and numerous linux distributions) over the past 10 years and every one of them has huge drawbacks. [...]

T-Mobile@Home Monthly Bill - How Much It Really Costs (Me)

I get an email once in a while from folks who are considering purchasing the T-Mobile@Home service but can’t seem to believe that the $10 per month is true. In fact, for me at least, it isn’t $10 per month - it’s $9.99 plus taxes. I’m surprised T-Mobile doesn’t advertise $9.99 per month instead as [...]

Looks Like the New Firmware Update for T-Mobile@Home Worked!

Just a heads up and a query on this subject…
Last week my T-Mobile@Home service dropped 3 times in a matter of 4 days. Each day that it happened it happened sometime in the morning. As previously discussed, to fix it I had to cycle power to the router.
Well, last week after the last time it [...]
