UPDATE: I know the title is wrong and it should be IUpdateable but I didn't want to break any links for any RSS feeds that already had it.

Short and sweet...if you are having Silvelright 2 Beta 2 issues with Firefox and media streaming, make sure you check Windows Update for a new fix.  I think the OSX guys can just visit a Silverlight page to get it (using the auto-update stuff).

Experimenting with Adobe AiR
Experimenting with Adobe AiR
December 27, 2024

I was under a false impression. I've been using Twhirl for my Twitter client needs as it was the most feature complete client i could find. Twhirl requires the Adobe AiR runtime to work. I thought that AiR was a wrapper around Flex to allow desktop installation of Flex. What I didn't understand was that AiR is a runtime to allow Flex, Flash and HTML/AJAX apps to be hosted as a windowed desktop application. Interesting...so AiR isn't necessarily about Flex, but for all three platforms.

Links and New Site Technology
December 27, 2024

Now that the change to Wildermuth.com is complete I've gotten questions about broken links and such. I am keeping adoguy.com around and redirecting (permanent) the links so that old links aren't going to break. I don't plan on keeping it forever but for several years you can be sure. Its worth keeping them around.
