Out of the loop
May 10. 04Well, I’ve been a little out of the loop for the past week or so. I’m ‘on holiday’ at home until the end of this week with my ‘family’. :)
However; this morning after feeding the milk monster I found some time to browse some blogs and do a little catching up. I happened across a couple of nice items which I present here for you to peruse.
Processing is a programming language designed for the electronic arts and visual design communities. It seems that you can pretty much use it for whatever you want and there are some great examples on the Processing site of just what can be done with it. I’m sure this would interest many Flash developers as the programming fundamentals sound pretty similar.
Mike Chambers has put together a nice standalone Flash Application for displaying the most recent posts to the Macromedia XML News Aggregator. It’s called MXNA Feed Scroller (catchy!) and uses the MXNA web service API to populate itself. You can download the source code and tinker with it to your hearts content. Nice work!
Right, better go. I think I can hear the milk monster waking.
