Google Adsense

Thursday, October 28th, 2004

Sorry to do it to here but I have implemented google adsense. Will be interesting to see how it goes, needless to say clicking on the links helps me out. At least the ads appear to be web development related, so there might be some interesting products appearing, here’s hoping.

Another extension which is cool is this ruler from centricle, lets you measure stuff in the browser with cross-hairs, very handy.

Flash Zoomifyer

Wednesday, October 20th, 2004

Alessandro has posted a fantastic Flash Zoom example on his site. It works a lot like Marcos Weskamps ZoomPane component but it incorporates the PHP/GD Library to resample a high-res image on the server to send back to the flash player when you zoom in, really nice.

Flash 8 preview

Wednesday, October 20th, 2004

There are a few posts around this morning pointing to Colin Moocks blog about the upcoming Flash 8. Colin had to take down the video because of bandwidth issues (he now has a list of links hosting the video for him). Anyway, here’s the gist of it:

- A new type-rendering engine
- Dramatic performance improvements
- Realtime graphical effects
- Support of video alpha channel

Also zeh blog has a post on it.

SWFBlog also has a view on it, says pretty much the same thing.

Update:

Colin has listed some other sites hosting the video for download.
