Last year I released a first version of the Belgium zipcode components — I’ve made some improvements and have since ported it from Flash to Flex 2. As a little early Christmas present to my loyal blog groupies I thought I’d release the source code for this latest version.
Here it finally is, despite having a bit of a cold, my first episode of Skip Intro — a bi-weekly podcast where I talk about Flash platform news and events. Audio quality needs some improvement but please bear with me for now. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Happy holidays everyone!
… I certainly believe so, if I didn’t see it posted on John Nack’s blog I honestly wouldn’t have believed this was for real. I won’t profess to be the worlds greatest designer but the whole look and feel doesn’t work for me at all. Particularly the two-letter icons just look horrible. Not sure if read more
[update] If you own a Wii and read my blog, feel free to add me as a friend – here is my ID: 2344 1118 2775 4961 It took me a while to get hold of one (narrowly missed getting my hands on a Wii on its launch day) but after placing a couple of read more
I had a great time doing an introduction seminar on Flex 2 Rich Internet Applications for Adobe this morning. We covered the basics of Flex Builder, states and effects, data binding, E4X, HTTPService and WebService functionality.

I attended the university session on Flex 2 RIA’s with James Ward and Christoph Rooms at JavaPolis, Antwerp today and have to say it was an absolute blast! For a moment it felt as if I landed in a parallel universe, wandering through the exhibition area with my rather limited Java skills it almost seemed read more
woohoo, my recording gear finally arrived… got myself a nice little setup with a Samson C01U condensor mic; shockmount, pop filter and table stand. Its not the most advanced piece of equipment but price/quality wise this is a pretty sweet deal, especially if the main purpose is simple voice recording — and the sound quality read more
I got back from Flash on the Beach a couple of hours ago and have been catching up on my blogging. You can read my earlier posts to get some feedback on the sessions I’ve seen in the last few days but this certainly deserves a post on its own. John Davey… what can you read more
Got in in time for the first session of the day, seeing Geoff Stearns (of SWFObject fame) talk about best practices for Flash in a Web 2.0 world. Some really good info on site indexing, navigation and deep-linking support that I’ll definitely be using on future projects. Next up Niqui Merret talking about accessibility in read more
Started out today with an *excellent* session by Mike Jones on Flex components, some great in depth tips and tricks that I’ll be using day in day out. Next I went to see Joey Lott’s session on AS3 Design Patterns, particularly liked his undo/redo commands implementation and the Memento pattern which I hadn’t looked at read more
