Man oh man has it been a long time since I've even had time to get to this blog. It's really fallen to the side since I've been busy working on FMSGuru.com and about 2 billion other projects. Lots of really cool stuff coming down the pipes too.
The first thing I gotta mention is that there are just tons of tutorials now over on FMSGuru since I last posted here. If you are interesting in Flash Media Server and want to learn about it, I hate to toot my own horn (but if you don't do it, then who will?), then head on over. At this posting there are 23 video tutorials at a total of over 8 and a half hours of free training!! Not even Adobe offers that!
The forum is doing really well too, lots of new members with a total of 8 actual Adobe employees signed up and helping out here and there. It's great :)
Work has been crazy. We've been working on chat applications, MP3 players, FLV streaming and HTTP progressive players, widgets, high end conference applications and multiplayer games... geez, the list is endless. Makes for great material later on to teach. So much work in the FMS arena.. if you're looking for some work in this are, drop me a line. I could use some help.
August was a busy month work-wise combined with that I finally managed to take off for a week of vacation. No computer too! Went to a place called Tofino here in Canada on Vancouver Island. Beautiful place, I'll try to post up a few pics later. The west coast of Canada is a pretty cool place. My favourite part was actually checking out all the sea life on the beach! Felt like a little kid again..
We've got applications for sale now. A chat application and a video email application. The chat is a basic community chat app with the ability to private chat if invited or accepted invite. Video/audio/text kind of thing. Shouldn't be long before we have an update out for it to add in some cool features. No price increase either! At 99 bucks you can't go wrong. Video email app is pretty basic too, you get to record a video and email it off to a friend for a measly 49 bucks. Both apps come with all the source code for learning from. Pretty cool if you ask me :)
That's kind of the update for now. With the new FMS community site we've got up, the "ask an FMS guru" questions have pretty much stopped. So now I'll actually have to think of some other reason to write on this blog.. hrmm... anybody want to know what my hobbies are?
