Flashforward 2008: Making a welcome return

Posted by rob on July 22nd, 2008

This year’s Flashforward conference is set to be an exciting one due to the fact that it’s the first after Beau Ambur and Metaliq took over organising duties. I’m pleased to say that i will not only be attending, but presenting a session on Away3d! Flashforward is the longest running Flash conference in the world, and one of the first conferences i ever attended, so certainly holds a significance for me… :)

Away3d is also featuring as a Flashforward film festival finalist. If you haven’t already, i would urge you to vote for us in the People’s Choice category, which all nominees get automatically entered in. We are the only open source project nominated, so if nothing else you should do it in support of the os community and all the fantastic tools & frameworks that have helped you with projects over the years… Come on, you owe it to us! ;)

Hope to see you there.

New Theme

Posted by rob on July 18th, 2008

I finally got sick of grey the other day, and vowed to update my blog theme before it started to affect me mentally. Having an unfashionable love of fractal art, I thought this theme was perfect (if a little brooding), and quite apt given that fractals are prone to infinite characteristics. Must dig out that julia script I’ve got kicking around somewhere to indulge in a bit of fractal procrastination…

hope you like it!
