As I mentioned, I’m working on version 2 of my little time tracking tool. Completely rebuild in Flex, with a lot of new features: Detailed tracking reports, CSV export, idle timeouts, autostart and more… Here is a screenshot of the current state.

(It will get public within the next weeks…)

Katopz from sleepydesign took my 3D Engine and implemented the new triangle drawing features for Flash 10 into the renderer. You can see the results here: ‘drawTriangles is faster?‘. In this experiment the result isn’t much faster (drawTriangles seems to be quite slow), but in bigger scenes you could reduce the tesselation of your geometry, because drawTriangles distorts a bitmap the real way. Thanks Katopz for this test! I’ll have to set up my Flexbuilder for Flash 10 now ;)

It’s so much fun to play around with Spore’s creature editor. You can create almost every creature you can think of. This is my flying ostrichsnake. Over a 1.000.000 creatures have been uploaded to Sporepedia until now. I wonder what will happen when the full game will be released, can’t wait to see that…

Just found this amazing site: The Eco Zoo. Really nice texturing and absolutely fluid animations. I haven’t seen any depths sorting problems, very impressive. I wonder if it’s Papervision or Away3D ;)

Had a nice evening last friday at the flexughh. Cliff Hall, the mastermind of PureMVC talked about his baby. It was very interesting to hear thoughts and visions about the framework directly from the maker. You can get the slides and codesamples of the presentation here. And if you want to join the flexughh, just do it. (it’s free ;))

A friend of mine just released his first album. It’s eletronic music and it’s free ;)
So if you like artists like Apparat or Modeselektor you will definitively like this one: Klabusta – Digital Dementia

Back from our trip through central america I set up a photo gallery, enjoy: Costa Rica & Panama, Pura Vida!
