Dance on the web

Many years ago I did a lot of work involving interactive dance. Some of the experiments I created used to exist in other locations that have now disappeared. I’m placing them here so they can still be found.

Windows Vista just hosed my work

Up 'till now I've been vary happy with Windows Vista. I think it's a lot better than XP. When I got my latest laptop I considered returning to the Apple fold but couldn't get the same power to weight ratio in a Mac laptop so I stuck with a PC. Then, today, Vista deleted three days of work. Fortunately I was able to recover it but it wasn't a pretty experience...

Actionscript 3 Training in the UK

Ubiq have launched my new Actionscript 3 training courses. The first beginners course is in December, with more beginners and advanced courses next year. We’re not sure what the demand will be so if you want a course and there’s none available, just ask and we’ll try to fit in an additional course. We also have a conversion course for experienced Actionscript 2 developers which we’ll schedule according to demand.

Physics for Flash Games

On Thursday this week, I’m doing a presentation on Physics for Flash Games at the London Flash Platform User Group. It’s a tricky presentation to plan because there’s such a wide range of knowledge and ability among the audience but I think I’ve come up with a presentation that has something for everyone. Hope to see lots of London Flash users there. There’s no membership requirement so if you’re interested just turn up. Or better still sign up on the web page because then you have a chance to win one of the prizes in the raffle.

New Wishlist site

I’ve been posting a lot about the Zend Framework recently. That’s because I’ve been using it in building a new version of my wishlist site. The new site is called One Wishlist and is at onewishlist.net…
