Sorry guys, something is wrong with the images from flickr. They just randomly give me the message ‘this photo is currently unavailable’. I hope this is temporary and flickr fixes this soon.. I have no clue what’s going on..

Maps mostly looks interesting,especially when you realize thousands or even millions of people live at that place. Well this place doesn’t exist, it is not even a real map. But I like the map-feeling it has. Generated with actionscript.

Feeling creative. I used mousegestures to create nice movements and shapes. It looks a little bit crazy but it has really great details.

Doc? is a free desktop Application, made entirely in FLEX & AIR. Doc? allows you to view your Flash documentation outside of Flash. This enables you to view, search and bookmark your documentation a lot faster than you could with the built in Flash support.

Doc? is a free application. To make using Doc? even more pleasant, the creators of Doc? created some plugins for Flash CS3/CS4 and Eclipse.

I know there are people working on for a nice FlashDevelop support (I really love FD 🙂 ), but I’m impressed by the easiness of the app. It really works fast and looks clean. It’s also a feature to add ASdocs. So mostly every (flash-)documentation can be added.

Just a quick but handy tip I’ve found on this post from smashing magazine.

A lot of people who are using twitter, use tinyURL to create very small links for longer URL’s of blogposts or cool links. Its very powerful solution and cost just a little bit time to create, but you can help ‘the twittering people’ by automatically create the tinyURL-link in your post.
Here’s how you can do this in WordPress. It cost less than 2 minutes too implement 🙂

Just go to design > theme editor > functions.php and add this function
[php]
function getTinyUrl($url) {
$tinyurl = file_get_contents(“http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=”.$url);
return $tinyurl;
}
[/php]Basically you can use this function for every site, but for WordPress it’s handy to use the permalink to create the URL:

In the theme editor > single.php you can add this line where ever you want to show the link to the tidyURL.
[php]ID));
echo ‘Tiny URL: ‘.$turl.’‘;
?>[/php]

Did you remember the curves.experiment? Well this is the version in motion. I added camera motion for some extra coolness.
