It’s been a while:
It’s been a while indeed. I actually have alot of blogposts in draft but I didn’t really feel the need to complete them and if I don’t complete drafts nothing gets posted. Hence: the absence of posts. But why?

My focus is expanding:
Where I was used to developing flash content for the interweb I now feel the need to write stuff for mobile devices aswell. I bought a HTC desire (phone) a while ago and I love it (for as far you can love a phone, ofcourse). It is now running android 2.2 (Froyo) which supports flash 10, meaning: a decent flash version for mobile!

I automatically started to try out some of the flash sites I developed for the web (aah, curiosity!) on my phone and even when it’s ment to just work in a browser it works great on the phone aswell, which is offcourse nothing less than awesome!

Show me some stuff!
Yeah yeah, ofcourse you want to see some stuff. Well, something not developed by me but still cool nonetheless: remote droid. What is it, you say? Well, it’s a mouse and keyboard for your computer ON your phone! Exciting, no?

It’s actually really easy: you download the desktop computer app/laptop app here, unzip it and double-click the “RemoteDroidServer.jar” file (you need a java runtime environment for that, which you can download here). Assuming you have an internet connection the app opens and says something like the following screenshot:

remoteDroid



On your Android phone you just open up the marketplace and look for an app called “remoteDroid”. Installing it takes less than a minute and when you open it you just have to fill in the IP address the computer app says and you’re good to go!


Try it: it works like a charm!
