Every time I head over to OSFlash.org I come across something new I want to try. Yesterday, I came across Red5. Take from osflash website, Red5 is:
an Open Source Flash Server written in Java that supports:

I found some convincing arguments to speed up my transition to AS3. Granted they're more visual elements than arguments, but they're still convincing:
PaperVision3d - Private beta 3d engine for Flash. Available for both AS2 and AS3, but to see the real power in AS3, view this (click on the icon in the bottom right corner for FULLSCREEN). I've just got the classes and will hopefully get something together in the future. Although I love 3d, I don't anything about modeling.
computeSpectrum AS3 method - This is way overdue; the ability to generate visualizations from supported sound files. An example can be found here. (Not the best example, and you need Flash Player 9 to view it).

I just read on Keith Peter's blog a developer version of Apollo may be released as soon as March! Man, I'm getting sooooo excited!
This will be huge when it hits.

The build for my ever talked about portfolio site has started. I'm anticipating a launch at the end of the month.
It's taken some time to finalize the mock-ups, diagram the UML and collect all the assets (ie- screenshots of sites, project files, etc), but now it's all together. I'm trying to build it in a MVC design type so in the future I'll can change to look without having to change a lot of the code.
I'll post some mock ups later this week.

After an amazing week in the Caribbean I'm back. Although it's very tough to get back into the swing of things when the weather is 28 C and you come back to -18 C.
I went with some friends and family on a cruise to San Juan, St.Thomas, Antigua, St. Maarten, St. Lucia and Barbados. Everyday and new and amazing excursion. But If I had to pick a favorite place, it would be a tie between St.Lucia and Barbados. Both places absolutely gorgeous. I would definitely go back in a heartbeat.
Anyway, back to reality and back to the master plan. Studying for certification and learning AS 3, as well as exploring some career options.
I'll be back to posting AS stuff, so anything I missed while I was gone (on the boards and blogs) I'll post up here in the next couple of days.

After a slight delay my companies new website launched today, www.trivedicom.com. It took just over two weeks to complete. It uses custom class files I created.
It was a good exercise and I learned a lot about packages and classes, but there's definitely room for improvement ;)
My boss loves it, so I guess it is a success.

I've been so busy with finishing my works new website (launching Jan.15) and playing Super Swing Golf on my Wii, I haven't had much time to surf or blog. But here a couple of updates.
Object Oriented Actionscript for Flash 8 by Peter Elst and Todd Yard has to be one of my favorite books . I'm only about a third of the way through it and the information it provides is invaluable. This books is a MUST for anyone serious about scripting! It will be well worn by the time I'm done with it.
Super Swing Golf, Super Swing Golf, Super Swing Golf! That's about All I have to say. My wife is about to hang me, I spend all my free time playing it. Rent it at your local video store and try it for yourself. If you like to golf, it's a good mesh of a (fairly) accurate swing and the fantasy world. Get clubs, balls and powers you could only dream of.
What's up for this year? I'm planning on getting certified as a Flash 8 designer/developer from Adobe. Finishing my portfolio site and learn AS3. Just to name a few.
