Adobe Digitals Edition (beta)

by kai 25/10/2006

Adobe released a pretty cool new product on Labs: Adobe Digitals Edition (beta).

No MAX today…

by kai 21/10/2006

Also – I’m not going to be at MAX conference this year. Basically the reason is that my employer didn’t want to fund parts of my trip. That’s pretty sad, but on the other hand I do see the reasoning behind it (somehow). Anyway, have fun over there in Vegas!

(CF)Eclipse/Flex Builder workspace crash – solution…?

by kai 14/07/2006

Eclipse is an awesome platform, I totally converted all my development to it some while ago and I even use it for writing documents in LaTeX in Eclipse. Just a while ago, I failed to get Marty from 01 converting to Eclipse as well, particularly to CFEclipse. One of the reasons was that his Eclipse […]
