I have been getting very sick of noobs yelling on their blogs about how HTML5 will completely wipe out the need for Flash Platform.

This will help those new to the technology and business needs behind video streaming. Read here on the YouTube API Blog.

While I find these posts greatly misguided and mostly Apple fan boy's (I do own 2 Mac and like them, I just don't get all obsessive like some) grabbing at any straws they can find against Adobe to make themselves feel better about their position. And they just repost crap they read from others, without even validating what they are reposting. "Well it was on a blog I read", oh yea, so it must have been true!

While I have wanted to post an in-depth blog post about the arguments going on and probably still will, I have been too busy with client projects.

Once I get time from all my new projects using the "old" Flash technology (Whatever Jobs), I will write the "My Thoughts on Jobs" article. But since I am so busy using this "dead" technology, don't expect the article anytime soon.

I am looking for good Flex developer(s) for a long term contract(s) in beautiful Lakewood Colorado (just west of Denver) for a very large company.

Even if you are not free at the moment, Flex contracts are booming, so get your resume to me anyway to save time for future projects.

Most Importantly! Unlike those general placement firms (who mostly don't even know what Flex is), you will not have an unfair cut taken out of your hourly rate. If you have done contracting before and found out what the firm was taking off the top (notice they never want to tell you that), you know how those placement sharks take higher cuts then Brad Pitts agent. If you didn't know that, you do now.

Please email me your availability and resume in word format along with expected rate.

Thanks!

Well the blog has been dead for a while. Things have been crazy with the amount of work going on.

Thankfully this week I get a week to relax. Adobe has a shutdown this week so we are all off. I'm going to be turning allot of focus to the blog, as well as finishing the website.

New articles, I have a set of new articles that will be coming out on the Adobe Developer Connection. The articles are all about Adobe ColdFusion 9, and some of the really cool features packed into this version.

In recent weeks I have been working on updating the blog with a new look and feel and also updating the blogCFC software version they will help keep those pesky spammers out of here.

It has been a very busy past couple weeks with tons of work to do that has kept me quite busy, and also getting over a cold has not helped.

However there is lots of new stuff going on, and I plan on making a few posts this week.

I have always know about Twitter but never really tried it. In the past few days I have been reading up about all the performance issues that Twitter has been having. This brought the social messaging service back into the front of my mind so I figured I would give it a try.

Low and behold, I have already seen the whale screen a few times already today.

Anyway, if you want to follow me, look me up under Brian Szoszorek on Twitter.com.

JetBlue has a funny site that pokes fun at CEO's and their private jets. In the current state of the economy, I think this was a great idea by the JetBlue marketing folks. I get an error sometimes when I run this. If you do simply click dismiss all and it will run fine.

Goodbye Buffalo NY! Hello Denver Colorado!

New Point Media is relocating its business to the Denver Colorado area. A move out of Buffalo has been in the making for some time now.

The move will be taking place in 1st quarter 2009. Along with the new move will finally be our official website launch.

We look forward to living and doing business in our new home!

I came out here around the first week of March this year to work on a high level project at the Adobe HQ. It has been a great time and tremendous experience not only working at the Adobe HQ (“The Mothership”) but also getting to experience California.

October 24th I will fly one-way back to Buffalo NY. During my stay I only flew back 3 times for a total of about 8 days, so needless to say I didn’t get much time back at home, not cool. While Buffalo may not be sunny Cali, its home and I miss my friends and family in that area. It actually gets a little boring when everyday is 78 degrees and sunny, it has only rained 3 times that I can remember out here. It was cool to actually see something different happen outside.

The best part is I am rolling into another Adobe project but I will get to work off-site back home. I am very excited about this project as it is a 100% ColdFusion 8 and Flex 2 project!

A colleague of mine called me today and he is in need of a few resources for jobs in the Buffalo NY area.

• .NET Developer
  
• Junior Flash Developer
  
• Microsoft SQL Server Admin

If interested please email your contact info to me so I can pass along: Brian AT newpointmedia DOT com.
