I was going through all my feeds and checking out all the nerdy stuff going on, when I came across something that rang vaguely familiar with me. Adobe Flex was releasing a version 3. Why did that ring a bell with me? It finally came to me, while I was out at the Zend conference, there was a booth for Adobe Flex and giving out cds with it. I had really been intrigued with it and wanted to try it.

So I downloaded a copy - it’s even better now, it’s a 61 day trial on the Flexbuilder (eclipse based) program. So after scouring around the livedocs and other sites around the net I came up with a hacked little program that allows you to enter a rss feed and it’ll go get it and show you a teaser for the entry you select. It seems to me, rss readers are becoming the replacement for the standard ‘Hello World’ creation.

I’m sitting here getting ready to write up a quick and dirty little regular expression for checking INET values, when it got me thinking. I’ve somehow turned my blog into a more technical blog then just some ramblings of mine. My technical posts out number general (or non-geeky) blog posts.

It’s not such a bad thing, in my mind, but that’s why I have another site. It’s not currently working due to the data loss suffered earlier in the month, and I haven’t gotten around to getting it back up and running yet. So what shall I do? I suppose I could just cross post them between the two and try to focus more on the generality of this blog.

It’ll probably straighten itself out in long run (once the other site is up and running), but until then - I guess you’ll be stuck with geeky entries here.
