Wow. I go on vacation and come back to find that I someone has been impersonating me. How did I discover this horrible fact? The 360 Flex folks posted an interview with me, but I sure don’t remember meeting up with them. What’s more, the alleged interview takes place in a Starbucks, and I don’t ever remember going into a Starbucks before. (At least my imposter did his homework enough to know that I don’t drink coffee.)

Okay, so I did know that they interviewed me (although in my memory it didn’t happen at Starbucks), and those are in fact my answers to their questions. (I actually wish they had reformatted them a bit. I think they are a bit tough to understand as they appear in the post but I didn’t realize the context in which the answers would be presented.) In any case it’s quite a silly read, and the other speaker interviews they’ve posted are even funnier. Poor Tom sure puts up with a lot of heckling from John.

Although I’ve never been to 360 Flex before, I’ve always wanted to go. I was fortunate enough to get chosen as a speaker — hopefully my presentation will turn out well enough that they’ll let me come back again =). And I definitely meant it when I said that there are so many presentations I’m looking forward to, that there was no way I could limit my list to just two!

Oh, and I suppose I should make two small corrections. One, i haven’t actually started working on my slides/presentation content for 360 Flex yet (oops!). Two, as of now I’m not planning to include any stick figures in my presentation. That’s not to say I never have, however =)

P.S. I know the issue of identity theft is a real one, and a very serious one. In fact a couple of weeks ago I thought I might had been a victim of identity theft (expected bills and checks were missing from my mail) and it was very disturbing. So please don’t take my joke about someone impersonating me as a sign that I don’t think identity theft is a real, serious issue!

As I’ve mentioned before, a couple of weeks ago at the Webmaniacs conference I presented a session titled “Adobe AIR: Windows, Menus, and the System Tray” (and I also presented the same material in a partially different form over the course of two SilvaFUG meetings. The presentation covers those three aspects of Adobe AIR, specifically […]

I have a couple of presentations coming up soon, and I haven’t been getting word out as much as I probably should have. At the end of May I’ll be speaking at the Webmaniacs conference in Washington D.C. (May 19-23). I’m giving a two hour hands-on session titled “AIR: Windows, Menus, and the System Tray.” […]

Last week I posted some of my thoughts on the future of Flex application frameworks, which were my take-aways from the October Silicon valley Flex user’s group (a.k.a. “SilvaFUG”) users group meeting. In that post I strongly recommended watching the recordings of the presentations. The recordings are available now, so once again I highly recommend watching them (now that you actually can watch them =)

Here are the direct links:

Grant Straker on Moving ZoomFlex from a homegrown framework to Cairngorm
Ali Mills and Luke Bayes on Flex application frameworks (A great overview of the strengths and weaknesses of various frameworks like Cairngorm etc., from two really smart developers.)

Enjoy!

A few weeks back (February 21, 2007) I gave a presentation titled “Introduction to ActionScript 3.0” to the Indiana University Flash Users’ Group. The bulk of the presentation was a comparison between previous ActionScript versions and ActionScript 3.0, looking at syntax, the object model, event handling, how code runs in Flash Player, and more. I […]
