Screenweaver is back- and open source

this came through osflash-mailinglist yesterday:

Is this discussion dead?>  > 
Not at all! After I had a little chat with Darron a few days back, I've been working on bringing the Screenweaver 3 code base up to date: I've decided to release it open source.

Under the same licence (GNU GPL) I will also release a new development effort called Screenweaver Core. This might be of specific interest to this list due to the open architecture. Read more about it here:

http://www.vanrijkom.org/swcoreos/frames...?frmname=topic&frmfile=Overview.html

I'll need about one or two weeks to get everything organized properly, after which both projects will be available through OSFlash.

Cheers,

what a day …


Flash 8 around the corner ? [update]

Look at this video-feature summit. heres the introductional page. You can even test it for yourself :-) (broadband connection really needed!)

[update]

Flash 8 File-Upload (RC-1)

With the help of Glen Blanchard, i’ve managed to package a RC1 for the new File Upload Feature of Maelstrom (aka Flash Player 8).

It now features all callbacks needed for status and error handling.

Grab the Files and start playing, but be careful:
before uploading this one to your server, you should check all possibilities of misuse like you normally would do with html.

If you want a quicklook, here’s what i hacked together:


A Preview of Gnome 2.12

As Gnome shall be released in about a month (precisely on eptember 7th, 2005), you should watch some screenshots of it here.

All in all i’m not that very excited about the look, cause i already use that (playing with Ubuntu :-)), but the new features make Linux much more usable as a desktop OS, if you ask me.
Of course there’s a lot more that can and definately shall be done.

Wait a minute: if you read the above link on Mathew Thomas blog, you should definately read this one too, right after :-)


ChenPress - WYSIWYG for Wordpress

Some of you lazy WordPress users may have always wished a WYSIWYG-Editor for your WP-Installation. Although there are some alternatives, i’ve decided to give ChenPress (mainly a plugin-wrapper for FCKeditor) a go.
I’ve taken the File from http://groups-beta.google.com/group/ChenPress but since Chen’s server is little bit too slow, i decided to spend some alternate place here. Chen was ok with that.

So go download ChenPress 3 [UPDATE: new version:Chenpress 3.1.1 based on FCKEditor 2.1.1], upzip it to your WP-Installation, edit the cfg’s to your need, and be happy :-)

be sure to ask questions on http://groups-beta.google.com/group/ChenPress, cause i’m not giving any support here, only little webspace.

cheers
