Hollowcube's Mini-Blog Reader.

April 01, 2003 | 6 Comments

Noticed Hollowcube’s redesigned blog today. I wanted to make mention of it because of his nifty little Flash based “mini-blog” reader. I’ve not seen many flashed based RSS readers and I’ve been interested to see how a Flash application would tackle that. This one is nice and tight, and very functional. Definitely worth a look. Oh and the redesign is nice also.

Makes me long for the days when I was paid to spend my day tinkering with XML and Actionscript. If I get the time I’d like to look into something similar for this site.

Hey Keith, thanks for the link and compliments!

By the way, I’m in Seattle too :-)

I think I’ll go out and enjoy the sun right now… it’s so rare around here!

No doubt. Didn’t last long did it? It’s pouring right now down where I live on Queen Anne.

No problem on the link - keep up the good work and great content.

No kidding about the short-lived sunshine! It’s amazing how fast it turned around. Now it feels like fall :-)

I’m up in Everett. We’ve got some really big projects going on right now at my work, and I’ll definately be posting about them as soon as they go live.

Later!

by the way, I will probably be releasing the source code for the mini-reader here in the *not too distant* future. if you’re interested, email me and I’ll be sure to let you know about it.
