Moving to johnlindquist.com

I’ve launched a variety of blogs in my time (pv3d.org, flex4.org, fp10.org) to try and keep content on-topic and, shamelessly, to try and get good google search rankings.

For the past few months, I’ve been focusing on frameworks in Flash, so instead of creating “flashframeworks.org” (or something similar) I’ve decided to just consolidate all my posts back to johnlindquist.com. So, from this post forward, any new content I create whether it’s related to pv3d, flex, flash, unity, php, silverlight, wordpress etc, etc, etc, will all be posted to johnlindquist.com. I will leave all the current content up here on pv3d.org (over 100 examples!) and I’m forwarding a few of the most popular posts to johnlindquist.com to push traffic that way.

FDT Super Awesome March Deal

http://fdt.powerflasher.com/blog/?p=1347

It’s no secret that I love FDT. The above link is a special promotion FDT is putting on for the month of March that allows you to save a few hundred $$$ on FDT by showing them you already own a competing product (usually Flex Builder).

I completely agree with everything Jesse wrote in this post: http://flashartofwar.com/2010/03/12/why-you-should-invest-in-fdt/. (Jesse and I actually work together now and talk about “workflow” quite a bit.) I’m not going to repeat what Jesse said. I just wanted to add that a lot of Papervision3D was developed in FDT and it has been an invaluable tool. I always forget how great FDT is until I switch back to Flex Builder and lose all the amazing shortcuts and conveniences FDT gives me.

Anyway, read Jesse’s article and support FDT for all the reasons he listed. Lastly, here’s a few FDT guys to follow on twitter if you have any questions:

Preferred Video Tutorial Resolution?

I’m getting ready to put together some more video tutorials. If you have 2 seconds to spare, please vote in the poll on the right to help me decide what resolution to target. Just fyi, up until now, I’ve always done 1024×768 and I think they’ve worked out pretty well, but now that Youtube is offering full HD, I was wondering if I should take advantage of it.

Back in the saddle

I took off the last couple weeks to be with my wife and new baby (caution: cuteness overload below):

I should finish up my theminator project in the next couple days.
