I just saw that David Blatner has featured my Merge Textframes script on his Lynda.com course, InDesign CS4: 10 Free Must-Have Scripts. I highly recommend David Blatner’s Real World books if you’re looking to go from knowing a topic/application fairly well to becoming an expert. I’ve read ten of thousands of pages in software and design books and David Blatner’s books have been among the best. It’s very cool to see something I made appear on Lynda.com (also a great resource) and it’s twice the honor to have it posted by David Blatner.
The bona fide internets, even. I’m in the Adobe Developer Spotlight this month.
Even though the economy is completely haywire, parts of the community have proved to be very reliable. Aaron Simpson at ColdHardFlash is offering help for animators seeking work, and Adobe is offering a free copy of FlexBuilder to members of the community who are unemployed.
Kudos to both of them. Hopefully more organizations will follow suit.
Nuff said. Check it out on the Summit Projects Flash Blog.
Lee Brimelow has posted the first issue of his new online video series entitled Flasher Magazine. It’s one part entertainment, one part tutorial. If you like staying current on Flash topics, you’ll want to bookmark the site.

A while back, someone tipped my off to the Activity Window in Safari. This window is fantastic if you doing Flash development and need to debug on a live website. It will show you any images, videos, XML files, or anything else that’s getting loaded into your page.
I’m a Firefox user, so I went looking for an add-on that would do the same thing in Firefox. While it’s not quite as organized (i.e., it isn’t structured in a tree menu like the Activity Window), the “generate” tab of livehttpheaders is a pretty close substitution.

UPDATE: As Tim notes below, Firebug also has this capability. It’s under the ‘net’ section of the Firebug window. You have to choose to enable this feature before you see anything.
I finally got around to putting up a new Ajar Productions homepage.
It’s pretty minimal, but it’s better than a placeholder.
