AIR Widget: Snow Reports to your desk top!

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 18:59:00 -0500

The last while I've had the fun of developing an AIR app for one our clients. A pretty simple little widget to let you know the Snow conditions on the Ski fields in New Zealand. So, if you wish you where here skiing, download this widget to make you green! http://www.summitlager.co.nz/widget.html I made use of http://code.google.com/p/flexcairngorm/ and a little http://www.degrafa.org/ in there too! Thanks to the design team for making it look so cool. Enjoy!

New Zealand has an Adobe Ambassador!!

Just reading over my blog feeds this morning and I noticed http://blog.xsive.co.nz/,Campbell Anderson has become an http://blog.xsive.co.nz/archives/261,Adobe Ambassador! Congratulations Campbell. I have been on the receiving end of his help, and think Adobe (via http://www.flexdaddy.info,Andrew Spaulding) have made a good choice in asking Campbell for this role. Campbell's knowledge in Flex and willingness to share that knowledge has helped me out a few times my Flex forays. So go along to http://www.fxug.org.nz,NZ Flex User Group and congratulate the man in person! [Edit] Does anyone know if there are other "Adobe Ambassadors" in New Zealand? Campbell is the first one I am aware of...
