Just like the title says. I'm looking for more Adobe community  people to attack online lol. Halo 3 is Turning out really good, and lkiving up to alot of the hype

O'Reilly is giving some of us lucky Flex devs a chance to get your stuff published. Isn't it nice to be wanted?

I think I might even have to use a spell checker if I put any thing in  

The following from  O'Reilly:

Calling All Flex Developers!

are you doing any development work (including skinning and UI design) with Adobe Flex? Here's your chance to be a contributor to an Adobe
Developer Library book to be published in 2008, "Flex 3 Cookbook." Adobe's got a terrific site for Flex developers of any stripe to show their best stuff, and O'Reilly and Adobe are partnering on a book that will include some of the best contributions from the site. Each contribution uses the classic O'Reilly cookbook "Problem/Solution/Explanation" format; if you've got strong material to show the rest of the world, it couldn't be easier to write up your material in the online fields, and join the cookbook party. Flex developers are in very short supply in an exploding market, so here's your chance to show your stuff to the rest of the community!"

Are you a gamer? do you BF2142?

I have been thinking about setting up a Battle field server on my …. uhh server, and just wanted to get a feel for who would be interested in the community. Unfortunately New Zealand has the first beer O'clock in the world ( friday beers after work ) but I could leave the server up so I can drop in and PWN some other flex/flash coders over the weekend.

Hit the comments if you are keen, or some other game maybe? Could be a great way to get one up on the AS masters out there (JesterXl looking in your direction).

I just visited Mashable.com and saw a post about AirTalkr, an AIR chat app that has been entered into the AIR Developer Derby. Great stuff to see more and more AIR apps appearing out in the wider spheres of the web comunity. 

AirTalkr crosses the bridge of many chat protocols and has a cool feature called AirCard. With AirCard you can view your buddies blog entries and twitter postings as well as their social networking profile within AirTalkr itself. Very cool feature that I havent seen anywhere else.

Shunjie has done a great job with this application and has released a Web version aswell, enjoying the benefits of the flash platform. It aparently took him 30mins to migrate it, showing how great the AIR platform is.

"I spend 30 mins today porting AirTalkr from AIR to pure Flex" 

Congrats to Shunjie on a great application and I wish him all the best in the derby. If you get the 100k come to NZ and say hi mate

The article mentions finding some bugs, which begs the question, when are we going to have a stable AIR platform. The worry of more and more AIR apps coming into the public spotlight is that any application doing anything more than demos is likely to encounter bugs and impact on the user experience. Will it get tared with the same brush as early flash sites with its skip intro?

• New security features — Adobe's Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) will be enhanced with new, higher performance encryption to help secure streamed media and communication. This enhanced protocol is called RTMPE. Similar in strength to our current SSL protocol (RTMPS), this enhancement can be leveraged by content owners and communication developers to add additional protection to their content. Additionally, SWF verification will also help protect SWF files from being reused, modified, or hosted in alternate locations. Flash Media Server 3 will also support streaming of encrypted content to Adobe Media Player.

Ripped directly from the Flash Media Server 3 FAQ: HERE

I guess big label content providers have been asking for this.

Also "Adobe Flash Media Server 3 will support streaming of industry-standard H.264 and HE-AAC video and audio content to Flash Player, Adobe AIR™, and Adobe Media Player." and there is a bit about streaming video to Flash Player Lite but no mention of the phones Camera sending video back up
