Parallels and cold nights

I recently purchased a MacPro (as you may already know) and I started running Fusion from VMWare which is a beta virtualization program to run Windows on my Mac. Well a few days ago I downloaded an update for Parallels which is what I was originally using before Fusion. I am now able to run the bootcamp partition of my HD as the VM. This means only one machine to maintain and quicky gaining access to files and programs without having to reboot.

In this update I have gained back use of my favorite Actionscript editor FlashDevelop which is running in “Coherence” mode of Parallels which offers the ability to run Windows on OS X without the desktop or taskbar. Simpy put, it is sweet!

My Flash Demo seen at CES and the Apple iPhone

All sorts of news from the west coast. First up my friend sent this image to me from CES in Las Vegas where my Delphi Flash Demo is being displayed on a kiosk for attendees to see/experience first hand. Early December Delphi released a web application for the SKYFi 3 that I had developed and now it has been extended to the kiosk for trade shows. This was a great honor and one I wasn’t even aware of when I developed the demo.

Next up on news from the west coast comes the announcement of the iPhone from San Francisco MacWorld. This phone will be available in June which means my current Nokia will have to survive a few more months… hopefully it will.
