Too bad couldn’t go down to BLR for initRia’07.
It was the first community driven, community organized event for RIA in India afaik. Bangalore flex user group guys were the ones organized it. I’ll hopefully attend some other conference, if one comes up soon, else, will have to wait for Max 2008 I guess.
Tom Bray and Robert Cadena came up with this cool Flex Chat app - Like a chat room or an IRC channel, but only more easier to connect to. Quite a few flex coders from around the world log in. You can even download the widget and run it as an air app or put up a widget on your blog.
They run searchcoders, an portal where you can contact employers if you are a flex coder, or get in touch with coders, if you are an employer.
I came across #air on freenode on Mike Chamber’s blog. I visited the #flex on efnet a couple of months ago, and it was deserted. Then stopped lurking around there.
Now, its time to start a #flex or a #flex-india on freenode, if there isn’t one registered already. But lets see if there is a #flex on one of the other networks. I will have to hunt down flexcoders archives to see if there is one. IAC, as mrinal says, mxna is the morning newspaper to read anyway. 
For now, I go back to slacking. No hacking this weekend. 
[UPDATE]
Registered #flex-india on freenode. Time to put up a bot there? 
I came across this cute little AIR app called AirTalkr.
Nice. Needs a bit of fine-tuning-love. Can’t sign out of just one of the IMs, Y! and other IMs logged in automatically when one logs in on Talkr and such. Good eye candy though
Know of any c00l AIR / Flex apps? Leave a linky here!
Adobe has a promotional tour on .. promoting Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR). The tour has a bunch of geeks / Adobe Evangelists going around in 18 cities around North America, in a bus. Sounds cool, eh?
Ted Patrick writes about the latest hack put together - AIRChat. Should check it out soon.
