My first International Award!!!!

Was at work when I got the news.
The wallpaper "Sushi Sue" (the name was thought of by "the girl") which was submitted to the Flash Lite competition organised by the Adobe User groups in Boston, Australia and Brazil just won the "Best Animation" category!!!!

The wallpaper was created for Fat Pengy. I guess this will be Fat Pengy's flagship product. More cool stuffs to come!

I am overly, trememdously overjoyed! My first international award! Unbelievable. Almost surreal.

This is indeed a small step towards something really big this year.

Over the moon... really. Laugh

Gaining Speed and Momentum

Just got an excellent news regarding Flash Lite development. This co. called orison (www.orison.biz) just released a rapid application development software called SWF2Go. Its exactly what I need. I can now easily package the flash lite games made for Nokia's series 60 phones into an SIS installer woohoo!!

Previously before this there was the swf2sis software by blueskynorth. But there were issues building the sis file for series 60 3rd edition. So I didn't really want to plonk my money down for that.

Well I could create the sis packaging for the flash lite files myself, but that would simply take up too much of my time. I would rather focus on the flash development.

SWF2Go definitely saves a LOT of time. I bought the software with a 15% discount immediately on the same day I got the news that it was out. Paid about S$100. It was worth it.

Tested it and build my first SIS app installer. It installed without a hitch. Though I couldn't put in the developer certifcates and key though.

And also need to get the symbian signed procedures and all in order to comply with the standards. Damn. Its gonna cost about 500USD, plus the testing out for each application which is about 560 euros!!!
Blood sucking leeches!

I think I'll forgo the certs. The end users need to trust that products from me is safe. With or without cert.

About a girl...

Been thinking about a girl lately.
As much as I would like to, I find it difficult to say what I really feel.
And to make it even tougher, there's the difference in religion and culture.

And to top it all, it takes two hands to clap. If she doesn't feel the same way, there's no way it can work.
And the vibes that I get, its not really positive.

Oh well.

Got to get her out of my head.
