Reconnecting
It's been almost 3 weeks since I've touched a computer. I'm back from Jamaica and now happily married!
So what did I miss while I was gone? A few things I've noticed:
- FDT was announced and the website went live.
- Neoswiff is now up to version .8, getting closer and closer to a 1.0 release.
- Peter Hall released Ripple on osflash
- There's a new Macromedia Developer Relations Podcast
- Eclipse 3.1 was released
- There's this awesome new program called Google Earth available for free
Oh, and Flash Forward New York is this week. Sadly, I won't be able to attend. After taking off so much time for the wedding / honeymoon, I'm not going to be able to make it out. Maybe next year...

Congrats Darron! Welcome back. I remember coming back from my honeymoon a year ago... it was very tough to get back into the swing of things :)

Hey man, did you hear about the Flash Platform? Not sure if that was before or after you left us.

Yeah, I'm cool on the Flash Platform, that was like a week before I left if I remember right.
There's a lot of reading I need to catch up on, especially on the arp list...

Congratulations Darron.
I'm not sure if you had already seen this tool to record and play automated tests:

We use it now instead of unit tests. These tests are easier to write, provide better coverage, and don't break with refactorings.
