93% of the world - 79% of Europe to go

by kai on 26/04/2005

This is a cool one: world66 is some sort of community travel guide.I just found it today via one of the links of queen of the sky (she's the delta flight attendant who got fired last year due to blogging and inappropriate behaviour - the pics in question are quite nice ;-). However, world66 offers the service of personal discovery maps... using them I found out that I just visited 7% of the world…

Flex and SAP: some speculative thoughts

by kai on 26/04/2005

After the announcement of SAP to integrate Flex in their NetWeaver platform I digged a bit and tried to compile some information about this approach and it's possible impacts. Be aware that I'm far away from being an SAP expert, it's more of a collection of interesting resources and my personal thoughts...1. Flex to run on NetWeaver: this sounds quite simple and easy. NetWeaver is a…

Accolade for Flex: SAP embeds Flex into NetWeaver

by kai on 26/04/2005

Wow, this might become huge: SAP just announced that they will embed Macromedias Flex into their NetWeaver technology, in particular into NetWeaver Visual Composor as a first step. SAP developers will be able to deliver applications using the Flex technology within NetWeaver as they were able to do this with DHTML and Java by now already. Additionally - and this is very interesting: Macromedia…

My wife got her SE P910i

by kai on 25/04/2005

My wife got her SonyEricsson P910i last week. It's a bloody awesome phone and it makes a lot of sense for her as she wanted to get rid of the combination of her PocketPC and a cell phone. I'm annoyed a bit because usually it's me who's in charge for advancing to a new device and leaving my old one with her ;-) This time it happend to be the other way around - but I just lost a battle, not the war ;-)

Jesse Warden played with the FAME set of open source technologies for Flash development. I recently posted about this, and you could use the linked article and Jesses experiences as a good start!

Eclipse RB Manager and FarCry 2.3 German localization

by kai on 20/04/2005

I just played with the Eclipse ResourceBundle editor, a nice plugin to edit and update RB files of any kind.

Today I just used it to create an updated version of the German ResourceBundle files for FarCry CMS 2.3. I've just submitted the files to Geoff and guess they'll be in the CVS tree within the next days.

Pope Benedict XVI.

by kai on 19/04/2005

Following Sean Corfield's post about Pope John Paul II... I just learned that the new pope is a German - after ca. 480 years of absence from providing the head of the Catholic Church. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, which was used to be his name in the real and legal life up to now, is expected to follow the ideas and the plans of John Paul II., so what one might see in the mid-term future is again a…

by kai on 18/04/2005

On Tuesday May, 3rd my employer is going to start the new series of "msg talks", Breeze live sessions on certain technology topics around the Macromedia/Adobe technology family (did I mention that I really like Photoshop? Framemaker was always just awesome when I used it in university for writing). Nevertheless...;) On May, 3rd, I'm up to host the first one of "msg talks 2.0" and the title is…

Adobe and Macromedia: stop the panic!

by kai on 18/04/2005

A lot of people blogged about that one already. Adobe is going to take over Macromedia later this year. Bascially: so what? There has to be a consolidation in the tools business, be honest, why not put together the best product of each company? Who really uses GoLive!, why not discontinue it due to the success of Dreamweaver. Same for the other tools. Regarding the server products, I can't…
