OK, I’m interested enough in Aral Balkan’s “Singularity” to post about it here, on the offer of an early peek this weekend.

I have no idea what it is, or might be, but I’m confident that coming from Aral it will be interesting.

For those of you that have not seen him present (and he does seem to at many conferences), he’s an enthusiastic presenter who never fails to entertain and enthuse. I caught his “rediscovering fun” presentation about “swx” this time last year at LFPUG, and enjoyed it greatly.
Now, swx is not for me at the moment (I’m hoping to stick with AS3, and quite happy with AMF thanks), but never the less it’s a nice project and I can see the value in certain circumstances (Flash lite would be the one that I’d personally pick as being a great match).
What I did find rather impressive was catching Aral doing a twenty minute presentation at Flash on the Beach last year, during which he put together a simple but usable demo application in about ten! Since last January, he’s evidently put together some nice tools to complement the format itself, aimed at making it easy to get started.

Well, time will tell what “Singularity” brings…

It was with pleasure that I received an email early this morning to inform me that this blog has been accepted for the MXNA news aggregator.

I hope to continue to post on subjects that interest me in regard of Flex, Flash, AIR and any related matters.
The prospect of having a potentially large audience out there encourages me, I can only hope that it is of occasional interest or use to others.

Comments are welcome (in fact encouraged), especially those that are constructive enough to correct any mistakes or inaccuracies I may post!

In the meantime, here is an irrelevance :

After only about 3 or 4 days! And with no actual cute puppy content so far … Google robots are busy busy bees, but no computer can recognise the presence or otherwise of bitmapped juvenile canine aaah factor

I am working on it, I really am…

Part of the problem is that I am currently on night watch for some actual puppies, but being pugs, a few days old, and black as well, they are not exactly very cute so far.

More like something out of a rather dark Gothic horror film, to be honest.

At this tender age, someone has to watch over them lest they burrow under mum / mum sits on them / they blow mums milk out of their noses.
Any of which could mean a choked ex-puppy, so we watch 24 hours a day to the exclusion of programming,blogging and ,well, everything else really …

I do like the fact that I beat Aral Balkan into a miserable 3rd place though ! I’m sure He’ll have something to say about that…

To add to the few that I’ve abandoned in the past.

Anyway, this time it’s wordpress, which was at least ridiculously simple to install.

Expect (hopefully) a few occasional posts on flex, actionscript, mxml, fluorine web services and the like.

And possibly some pictures of cute puppies.
