MXDU: Day 0

by kai on 17/02/2005

Day 0 of MXDU 2005 is over and it was quite entertaining. I met Geoff Bowers in the early morning at Star City to help him setting up the room for Grant Skinners workshop on Action Script OO. Aber going to bed again for a while, Diane and I decided to stroll around the city and went to QVB to buy things ;) In the afternoon I urgently had to finish my talk on CF Scalability. Well, it quite final…

by kai on 16/02/2005

The guys from CFUG Swiss are going to have Ben Forta visit them on Thursday, Feb 18, 6:30pm to 10pm (GST +1). Topic is - obviously - Blackstone or the so called CFMX 7 (I personally prefer to call it Blackstone - always wondering why Macromedia don't keep their cool internal code names for the real products :-) The event is going to take place in the Marriott Zurich and is additionally going to…

MXDU 2005: Sydney pre-conference

by kai on 15/02/2005

Yesterday we arrived in Sydney and we were greeted with wonderful weather. Sunshine, blue sky and high temperatures are the things I really needed. Today we strolled around Darling Harbour, Chinatown and the CBD for a while. After returning to Star City I noticed that there is an open WiFi hotspot near the hotel which I'm able to connect to from our appartment if the door leading to the balcony…

MXDU 2005 approaching...

by kai on 10/01/2005

This is awesome, I just got an email from Geoff Bowers sending around a bunch of Flash banners for MXDU 2005. This year the theme is all about superheros - seems that "The incredibles" are in the cinemas in Australia already and that they're going to take a short break Feb 17-18 to visit the conference ;) They are done by Steve from Nectarine and the guys did another great job!

The conference website went live with the new skin today also!

Flashinthecan 2005: I'll be there!

by kai on 03/01/2005

Flashinthecan 2004 in Toronto was a great conference, so I'm very happy that I've been selected to present at this year's conference in early April. Toronto is a great city and with FITC being a "creative" and "designer" conference, you'd end up with a totally different group of people over there (at least from my personal point of view as a "server guy" ;) and that provides a lot of…

MXDU 2005: ready to go!

by kai on 17/10/2004

MXDU 2005, we're ready to go. I'm so bloody looking forward to travel down under again in 2005. Today I got the confirmation for one of my proposed sessions. I'm going to speak on "ColdFusion Scalability", which was and still is one of my core fields of work over the last months. But - that's just the brilliant add-on as Diane and I would have taken the trip anyhow to visit and meet all our…

MX Day, October 1st in Stuttgart

by kai on 09/10/2004

On Oct 1st, Macromedia UK invited web developers to join the first German MX Days - which is intended to grow into a series and take place several times a year. The Stuttgart event itself was a nice one, Macromedia announced Kevin Lynch and Tim Buntel during the beginning of their event marketing phase, but ended up with both not being there which was too sad. I hope and expect they'll make it…
