No, seriously. Magic. Like, by a magician. Magic tricks. Magician Jamy Ian Swiss will be hosting the Film Festival. Jamy Ian Swiss, a New York native, has been awing audiences across the country since the ripe age of 29 earning recognition along the lines of “one of the most masterly sleight of hand techniques in the world” (New Yorker).

Here, have a hundred bucks… if you go to FlashForward

07/23/2008 01:53 am in Conferences

If you are thinking of going to FlashForward in San Francisco next month, and haven’t paid up yet, use the code, FFCOM100, and get $100 off. I’m actually getting pretty excited for this one. The whole one-track, 20-minute sessions is different, but I think it’s great someone is at least trying something different. Also, the fact [...]

Smells like Singularity

07/18/2008 04:08 pm by Aral Balkan in Conferences

I can't believe I missed this when it first came out (it was probably because I'd just started on the my crazy two-month trip to simultaneously learn Google App Engine, brush up my Python, and build the new Singularity web site): Brooks Andrus from Techsmith, whom I always end up having a lovely conversation with [...]

WebDU 2008: Adobe Keynote

06/12/2008 07:00 am by infinite turtles in Conferences

Here Mike Downey presented a ton of new web possibilities using the Adobe AIR runtime - hence the keynote strapline: “The long arm of the web”. Sounds like a mix between a Tim O’Reilly soundbite and a totallitarian government mantra… Happily the content was less opressive and more inspired than the strapline suggests! A few interesting [...]

“Pixel Bender” ? Really ? [Fill in my excuse for not posting in such a long time]. There’s so much to tell, hence the weird title. Let’s start of with todays news; Adobe renames Hydra to Pixel Bender. They actually did it….now…it might be me…but wasn’t Hydra a way cooler name then “Pixel Bender” ? [...]

Updated AIR Example Code

04/07/2008 10:10 am by Daniel Dura in Conferences

Over the last year, my API overview presentation has evolved through 3 beta releases and the official AIR 1.0 launch. I have been a little slow in updating the examples, but I have just posted the updated archive file here. This archive file contains ten examples:

example_applicationicons - An example of specifying an application icon within the application descriptor.
example_fileicons - Loading the icon of a specific file from the system, and setting the application icon at runtime using the retrieved icon.
example_localstore - Usage of the EncryptedLocalStore API.
example_nativedrag - Dragging data out of an AIR application. Also shows the usage of the Clipboard API.
example_nativefiledialogue - Launching native file dialogs and writing data to the disk.
example_nativewindows - Launching different types of native windows and and example of creating a transparent window.
example_objectserialization - Serializing ActionScript objects and writing and reading them from the disk using the File API.
example_servicemonitor - Watching for events when the application goes online or offline.
example_sqlinsertperformance - A quick example showing the performance of the local database API when using transactions vs. when not using transactions.
example_transparentwindowskin - How to create a completely custom window skin.

My Latest Obsession - Live Streaming

04/04/2008 05:43 pm by Daniel Dura in Conferences

There is no doubt that micro-content is the new way to communicate with the world. After more than five years of blogging, I find myself spending much more time on sites like Twitter, Pownce, YouTube, and a myriad of other sites. My latest obsession is live streaming of video content. The first leg of the onAIR Tour Europe has given me a chance to really experiment with this medium using Qik.com’s service. While there are many kinks to work out, I have to say that this is one of the most enjoyable and painless mediums.

Today we are in Amsterdam at the Beurs van Berlage, an old Dutch stock exchange which is experiencing a second life as an event venue. I must admit, this is one of the coolest venues to date. I have taken a number of videos of this event which you can view on http://www.qik.com/danieldura/. I just posted a quick interview with Ted Patrick, where he is demoing a new project which will help HTML developers test and deploy AIR applications (embedded below.)

If you want to watch videos that we are streaming live from the tour, you can follow my secondary Twitter account http://www.twitter.com/dduraqik. Be warned, the live streams are sometimes a bit choppy, depending on the connection. But if you wait a few minutes, once the video is complete it is a much more pleasant experience. Hopefully the bandwidth issues should be solved soon.

Speaking at WebManiacs

Papervision3D Shaders / Bumpmap example sourcecode for CS3

03/12/2008 04:04 pm by UnitZeroOne in Conferences

This demo / source file is one which was used during the Papervision3D Workshop in Amsterdam, during the fantastic FITC Amsterdam 2008 event. These are the modified final sources for the example I did at the end of the day. Although quite simple, I think they are very useful at illustrating on how to use [...]
