CS4 Beta’s: Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and Soundbooth

John C. Bland II

“Download them here”:http://labs.adobe.com!

It is pretty early for them to be out but nonetheless…GET’EM WHILE THEY’RE HOT! :-)

DW CS4 has numerous upgrades/updates to it that have highly impressed me. Still a good amount to do, IMO, but it is looking good.

Adobe Photoshop Express Launched

John C. Bland II

I’m not even going to pretend like I know anything about this. I just so happen to be up late and saw “Ryan has a detailed post”:http://blog.digitalbackcountry.com/?p=1366 so I registered. Figured I’d share the wealth. The only thing I do know is the entire thing is built in Flex. {Homer’s voice} Hmmmm…sexxxy!

Free Flex Builder 3 Pro for Education Registration Site

John C. Bland II

I ran across this site on a mailing list and thought I’d help propogate the existence of it. It has been public knowledge for a while so I’m not first to post or anything. :-)

Anyways…not much to say other than check it out:

“Adobe Flex Builder 3 Pro is available for free to all education customers. This includes all students, faculty and staff of eligible education institutions.”

Picnik.com ROCKS!

John C. Bland II

There isn’t too often I run into an RIA that I can’t break down and come up with numerous feedback emails (which I may or may not send). So…here is my take on “Picnik”:http://www.picnik.com:

IT ROCKS!

I remember seeing the site before but I didn’t pay much attention because I just clicked around a couple times and left. This time I looked at it and actually used it. This is the “general computer user’s” Photoshop online. That is sweet! Now people who need to edit a photo can jump into Picnik, make their edits, and save it to their computer or do a any number of saves (to computer, online service, etc).

Here is a “picture of me and my son (John III) at the Suns game”:http://www.flickr.com/photos/johncblandii/2297997880/ last friday edited on Picnik. Here is the “original picture”:http://www.flickr.com/photos/johncblandii/2286794402/.

Pretty cool huh? Rock on Picnik!!

SQLite Admin Tool

John C. Bland II

I found another SQLite admin tool called “SQLite Administrator”:http://sqliteadmin.orbmu2k.de/. This is much more robust (at least it has more icons; lol) than “the last one I chose to use”:http://sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net/.

If you’re doing AIR dev’, this could be very useful to you. At least it is for me. ;-)
