Adobe Developer Conference
September 25th, 2006Pixel Lab took a day trip out to London to visit the Adobe Developer Conference. It was interesting to see Adobe’s Road map for the future of Macromedia products, especially their push for a standalone flash based browser interface called Appollo.
Poor Ed had a good day listening to development techniques in Flex 2, but he was rewarded by free nosh and booze.
Pixel Lab plans to have a working Flex 2 website up soon, to be included in our relaunch to Pixel Lab Studios.
Move to Open Office
July 20th, 2006We’ve taken a different line in our document management, and decided to move into use of OpenOffice as our office suite.
This is compatible with Microsoft Office, and the Open Document Template is being supported by major companies such as IBM.
It is supported on Windows, Linux and Mac OSX, so is an ideal solution for us.
Download it here:
For Mac OSX you can download a port called Neo office

We have a Flash Streaming Media server running on CentOS 4.3 x86, and a SQL Server 2005 install running on Windows Server 2003. Our development environment is slowly growing and as it grows so do our service offerings.
I have recently installed Visual Studio 2005 and will be looking at expanding our Microsoft solutions in our list of services.
