Finally, the combination for RIA goodness is upon us. Adobe, through the combined efforts of the Flex, AIR and BlazeDS teams has launched these three products aimed to making the life of web developers a bit easier, and the life of the web user a lot easier. You can check out the products on the adobe.com website, where you can also download a trial version (for Flex Builder) or the full versions of the Flex 3 SDK, AIR SDK and BlazeDS.

Now it’s time to see how the web experience shapes up – I’m looking forward to ever-increasing levels of interactivity on the web, and a nice blend between the web and the desktop (which AIR aims to increase).

Here are some stories on Digg, on the same topic, here, here and here.

OpenID’d

Announcements
Feb 182008

Just got the bug up and running using OpenID – or so I hope – the plugin threw a warning, but seems to work ok … So if you have an OpenID account you can now use it to register or post a comment. The good side – you’re comment will get through moderation (I hope).

So, let’s see how much fun this will be and how long it takes for OpenID to really take off and get some major social websites on it.

Oh, I’m using WP-openid (search for it, the link is out of reach).

SideNote: My laptop is freaking me out tonight, it keeps pausing to do stuff with my hard-drive …. if it keeps it up it will end up in a corner of the room.

Right now I’m sitting inside Adobe’s San Jose caffeteria. For a week I will be in San Jose instead of Bucharest, attending some meetings, conferences and other similar stuff. I’ll also try to visit and take a ton of pictures. So for now articles will appear at a completly different time :)
I will update this post with pictures as soon as I upload them to an online service.

Transition (almost) over

Announcements
Dec 112007

Finally I’ve taken a few hours to put in practice what I have been planning for my blogs: stop them. This applies to my two previous blogs, at http://ivascucristian.com/blog (the technical one) and http://ivascucristian.com/personal (the personal one). The reason is simple: time. I cannot find enough time to clean up the draft posts for both blogs and get them to a form where other people can read them. Secondary reason is that I am not organized enough to maintain two blogs successfully. One alone is not a sure bet either, though.

So I’ve done it. I created a new blog (this one) and migrated all of the content to it. This means posts and comments from the previous blogs can be found here. By doing this I could also update the structure of the permalinks without hurting anyone. Also, to make it easier for people using RSS, I’ve kept the FeedBurner address of the technical blog and forwarded the feed address for the new one to it. If you followed the feed for the personal blog (for which I never got around to setting up a feedburner feed) you will have to update the subscription in your feed reader.

I will still experiment with various plugins, themes and settings during the next few weeks, so if you find something is wrong, send me an e-mail and I will try to fix it as soon as possible. I also promise to post more often. For real this time.
