Comment on Why You Should Update Before the Holidays by Kaj Kandler

Kaj Kandler — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 15:33:46 +0000

Yes, I’d recommend to update even if you don’t use Base currently.

First, this update also fixes a number of other bugs in Impress, Calc, and Writer.

Second, you are on the safe side, if anybody sends you an OOo Base document and you open it. “Better be safe than sorry” I’d say.

Comment on Screencast with advertising is an old hat by Jeff

Hey Kaj - from BostonBarCamp here, we talked about your software a lot.. I still gotta make it to a java meetup..

Another ad model - Revver is interesting - they host your content and pop ads on the end - split profits with you 50/50. Not strictly screencasts, but you get the idea.

I know this is a bit late, but a few points of clarification:

1. Flex Builder is $499, and was released late last month.
2. The 300K in the PDF file *includes* the animation... The animation is done using JavaScript, which you can use to animate the 300K object.

Thanks for attending!

Comment on OpenLaszlo for AJAX is coming soon. by gse

gse — Fri, 09 Jun 2006 22:30:00 +0000

Nice post! One correction: the DHTML release coming within a few weeks is a technology snapshot intended to open the door for contributors to the project. It will not be sufficiently advanced to allow you to build anything but the simplest DHTML applications. Think of this as an alpha 1 release; there will be more robust, feature-complete releases as we go.
