My life as Flashdeveloper changed. For some Flash is already dead since ages, but for me it’s an important part of my fulltime job. In the meanwhile I start to like Haxe and will share some thoughts on Flash, and the workflow of two mobile projects build with Haxe / Flambe.

I found this challenge from my colleague who rocks on hack-contests. It cracked my mind, but I thought it was fun to create a mini contest on my blog too. All you have to do is break the code and find the secret key.

Quick post, this time no Flash but a Photoshop action that saves me a lot of time. 🙂 First of all, I don’t use slides in Photoshop, but often I just make a selection, copy/paste that in a new window and then press ctrl-alt-shift-s to ‘save for the web’. I am doing this a lot of times when slicing objects. Since a while now I use an action for that. I hope this will help you too work faster. Key thing you have to remember is to create a selection and press F2..

I’ve updated my Image class. It is irritating flashsites break the right-click contextmenu. Well, I can’t fix that and Adobe should look at that, but I think it would nice to add some of the browser – features to my image class.

Quick post: Smashing Magazine posted an article about Algorithmic and Code Generated Artworks. Some of my artworks are on that list.

This was the first hello world post on blog.stroep.nl. I’m very proud to blog for more than a year, but tomorrow is my real birthday 🙂 Yes, I am going to be one year older.

I installed the ‘Hyper cache‘-plugin yesterday. It minifies my output-html and posts are saved as static files on the server and the plugin enables gzip-compression. It automatically clears cache and starts over after one day. I don’t like to promote shit, but this plugin rocks! 😀
