I know, you couldn't afford the time off work, you needed to ship that big project... well now, via the wonders of the internet, you can watch the general sessions from MAX 2004 via Flash and FlashCom!

MAX 2004 General Sessions

Oh and if you wanted another example of why flash and flashcom are cool technologies, well just use this app and jump arround through the general sessions!

I know it has been a long time coming but registration for MXEurope is now open! you can now register your seat using an all Flex registration system at http://www.mxeurope.org/go/registration. If you sign up now you will even get an early bird discount!

see ya there!

Now how is this for a sale! Amazon UK is offering a staggering 50% off a selection of Macromedia book titles! Looks like they are expecting more than a few people to be reading over the colder months!

(damn I really should set myself up as an Amazon affilate one of these days)

Due to the expolsion of internest in Flex and Breeze in EMEA, I will be heads down helping customers so will not be able to make Max this year.

So please have a hurricane for me, I look forward to hearing all the tales in November. Sorry to all the folks who were looking forward to hearing me speak at CF Underground.

Macromedia announced Captivate today!This is the new name for RoboDemo, it is just fantastic! I have been using it for a few weeks now and I am loving it!

Last week the MMUG managers got a sneek peek at it but I have managed to grab a recording of the session! Check out this Breeze Live Recording - http://macromedia.breezecentral.com/p56803739/ or check out the Captivate home page.

I know many of you don't get the security updates from Macromedia (I know because you are lazy!) but late last night, two updates were pushed out from engineering to fix some security related issues in JRun. You should head to the Macromedia security site and check them out.

Sunday sees me on a nice Boeing 747-400 bound for South Africa again. If you are arround Cape Town next week, stick you head (and the rest of your body) into Futurex and come and say hi! We will be showing off the latest cool stuff for the folks down south. http://www.futurexcape.co.za/

I am currently looking to talk to any one that happens to be doing anything with government in any form, be it local or national in the UK... I want/need to hear from you...

please contact me as soon as you can, or just reply here!
