Animation Presentations
by Murigi Muraya 15 May '09

15 May '09

Kudo's to Wesley! Now I remember why I'd like to hear him present on graphics manipulation or something of the sort! Basic introductory stuff not the hard core C++ stuff he and the likes of Steve Obbayi are into! One of these Saturdays we could get Adobe Air / Flex, Java FX and Silverlight animation technologists to demonstrate creating similar animations - each with a 30 to 45 minute period to do so. It could be one Saturday morning like from 10am to 2pm! Most Java and .Net developers are more likely to work with technolgies they are already familiar with to become devigners. The more experienced animation devigners are probably already into (Adobe's) Actionscript. Java.Fxers's can nominate one or two of their own to present - wherever else they hang out online (possibly on skunkworks). Silverlight.Netists can apply (probably to conradakunga(a)gmail.com) to present or nominate one or two of their own at www.africadotnet.com Adobe Flash / Flex / AIR devigners are probably the more experienced animators so we'll see if the rest are catching up with their tools and technologies. What d'yall think? Sponsors?

google and blackberry outage!
by Dennis Kioko 14 May '09

14 May '09

For the past week, several google services have been experiencing outages esp in europe and america. Gmail was most notable. Apparently, today most google services had a major outage in USA. To make matters worse, the black berry USA network has joined google, with it too suffering an outage. There have also been reports of some mobile USA data networks been inacessible from japan. No reason has been given for any of the above. Credit Cnet news, twitter, and a search for blackberry outage. -- Bored?
