Check it out!

Let me know what you think.

BTW: Don’t you love that Parleys.com is a Flex app?!? And they also have an Adobe AIR version of their app which works pretty well on Linux. (To install the Parleys AIR app on Linux install Adobe AIR for Linux and then get the Parleys .air file.)

Kinda. I just bought jamesward.com and it is now my primary domain name instead of jamesward.org. I liked the .org URL but it’s a less familiar URL to non-geeks. You say .com and everyone knows what you mean. The .org will still work – redirects right to here.

So I’m a sell-out. Gone .com. Good news is that you still won’t see any ads on my site.

Let me know if you have any problems with the new domain.

I seem to have forgotten how to do just about anything in HTML. So can someone help me fix the Digg, Reddit, and Share This stuff below? I’ve tried and tried and can’t figure out how to get the dang things to align correctly. Ideally they would align to the bottom of a div or something. Gosh it’s really embarrassing admitting publicly that I can’t do HTML anymore. But since you have already seen how bad this blog looks, you probably already guessed that. :) Oh well. Please help.

Bruce Eckel and I hosted an eSeminar about Flex & Java. We had a few technical difficulties, but overall it was very good. You can watch the recording here:

Bruce and I have a few more eSeminars coming up, find out more info here:

Also yesterday the Open Source Buni Meldware Communication Suite joined the Java.net community. This is a great step forward for the project, which uses Flex for it’s Webmail client. More info from Andy Oliver:

And lastly, while at the Adobe Engage conference, I gained a Twitter addiction. Please help me indulge my addiction and add me as a friend:

So hopefully I will be doing more blogging now. In case anyone else needs to migrate from plog to WordPress, you can download the really hacky php script I used. Oh if you received a comment approved email from me for a comment you posted long ago, I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize WordPress was going to do that.
