Kodiak… 1. beta soon available for download

Posted in Tools by Peter Andreas Molgaard on September 6, 2008

Rumors are that the team behind Kodiak soon will make the binaries for the first beta available…

It’s going to be quite interesting to see something as “boring” as virtualization presented in a compelling and engaging experience.

One of the typical responses to software that looks good is that it’s either not serious (regardless of the seriousness of the domain the software lives within) or that it’s difficult to use… Kodiak addresses these two responses, so it will be exciting for sure to see how it works once installed and once the virtual machines need to be used.

Register for the upcoming beta here…

Adobe Flex TV

Posted in Adobe Flex by Peter Andreas Molgaard on September 6, 2008

In case you don’t know about the FlexTV channel at YouTube…

…it’s a place where to find video resources of some of the latest stuff and some videos that don’t belong anywhere else, but still are relevant for the Adobe Flex Community. Seeing the informal nature of YouTube videos, it’s a place to put videos that are too short or too “amateurish” (in the positive sense of the word) to pass as actual video tutorials…

If used right, it could become great stuff…

Updated RSL for Flex Data Visualization 3.0.1

Posted in Adobe Flex Builder by Peter Andreas Molgaard on September 6, 2008

Due to a bug in the signing process at Adobe, it appears that the cacheable RSL for the datavisualization components in Flex Builder doesn’t work in 3.0.1.

Adobe has updated the RSL and made it available here.

Go ahead and replace it in your Flex Builder 3.0.1 installation and you’ll hopefully be set.
