I am Baccccckkkk!

So.. I am baacccck from my Blogging Sabatical. Almost everything was down - my site, my net connection..well..now that I have it all back, its time to roll in the mud once again. I really missed being here and doing this!

There's just so much to catch up with. News of Flex 3 floating around already and all that talk of it and the next few versions also supporting Flash Player 9. It sounds great and I'll certainly wait for the actual full set of features of the Player. I have been trying my hand at WPF these days and I believe it is a serious competitor. Ofcourse, I somehow prefer using Blend than type out each line of code. It is so much easier. So far, I have done my "Hello World", "Hello " and jumped to XML connections and parsing. I will write my experience as time goes on. For now, I'll just sit here and be confused on the technology to adopt for my new site. A part of me says "Go MS!" and the rest of me sez "Adobe, dude". AS 3.0 Flash 9, Flex app style site, WPF/E..well.. I guess its gonna me a big mix!

Another big news was the release of the Linux Flash 9 Player. I am not a big fan of the OS, but, it does mean a lot to me as a Flash Developer and enthusiast. So much more reach, which is, really exciting.

Then, there is the biggie - MS finally released Vista yesterday. I kinda got a few glimpses of the video here and there. But, hey, I dont really need to see, I already use it..hehehheh! I must say here that I find it so stable compared to the early versions of XP that I have used at about the same time. No bluescreens so far and I am really happy for that!

Whoa! just saw the email that my Blog is getting aggregated by MXNA. Its so *SNIFF* *SNIFF* Kewwwwlllll. Thank you Christian and Mike :)
