It seems like a while since I actually posted anything here, its what happens when things suddenly seem to get very busy!So… what have I been upto?
- Playing with Fluxiom, the excellent file management application from Wollzelle. I have to say, I am quite impressed with how well it works, and how, though JavaScript and AJAX the guys have managed to create an application which feels like a desktop app, and seems excellently engineered. There are a few downsides - some things do not work exactly as you would expect, and the lack of a desktop client such as Flickr’s Uploadr does make it slightly annoying if you have lots of different files, in lots of different places which you want to upload. Also, it is a tool which the majority of folk probably don’t have a need for - not a fault with Fluxiom itself, perhaps I need to find myself a need to use it!When I registed I managed to find a genuine bug with the American Express card validation which prevented me registering, a compelling reason why beta testers should have to pay!
- Pondering the future of Bumble Search with Andy. We are working on a site redesign, and have some exciting features on the horizon. Keep your eyes open for our next release.
- Looking at all manner of Rich Internet Application development approaches, and getting my hands dirty with some Flash and Flex. I’m vaguely impressed, however feel that the fact that I can’t draw may hold me back from creating great Flash sites like this.
- Still pondering a MacBook, and wishing Apple would hurry up and release a smaller model!
I’m also off to New York in a few weeks time which I’m quite excited about - my first visit to the states.It seems like a while since I actually posted anything here, its what happens when things suddenly seem to get very busy!So… what have I been upto?
