Sometimes I am amazed that two parts of a single company can't work together.

Today was a classic example - I needed to install Adobe's Flash CS5 authoring tool, and already had a debug Flash player installed in FireFox. I also use Flash Builder for debugging Flex in the standalone player.

Recently I needed a proper Flex 4 version of the venerable Flex 4 LinkBar (a horizontal line of links), but all I could find was a posting of the beginning of the implementation. I also needed it to behave as a toggle so any one link could be selected.

I'm writing a web page article now and again for work, and the first few are now up.

Mostly for my own reference.

It's been a while since the Illudium template-based file generator had a new release, and certainly for what I was using it for it was fairly complete.
