I was wandering about on the net, looking for a way to simulate nature in flash. I have no idea how or what, but i stumbled on a site which contained an article written back in 2002. It is talking about SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) which, according to the author, should be the next thing after Flash…. how wrong can people be!

SVG should soon be widespread, and its non-proprietary nature will help to hasten the progress. Flash will continue to be the dominant standard for quite some time because of its large client base. However, SVG is rising quickly. The distribution of the SVG plug-in via browser manufacturers will quickly increase the installed user base, just as it did for Flash. Future versions of various browsers will include SVG viewers as standard, and some already do. The Internet Explorer distribution that includes Acrobat also includes the SVG Viewer.

Little old me…. updated :)

Well, since some people feel the urge to try and destroy what has been created (read: commentspamming) I felt i needed to upgrade my thrusty ol’ MovableType to the new 3.01 Release. (Coming from 2.6…)

For those of you who are reluctant about upgrading…. in my case it went like a breeze. No troubles, data loss, sleepless nights etc. at all. Took 5 minutes..

Although the whole flash blogging community must have been spamming every news agregator already with this same news. I feel I’ll just have to tag along and give you a heads up about the new Macromedia Flash updater available from Macromedia .

Let’s hope this brings some relief :)

I am worried by this post though that the Class cache still is not working properly….. darn. Version 7.2 and still no good support for developing flash in a worgroup environment…. ai.
