Steve Rogers

This weekend I decided to investigate what was involved in creating a Facebook application, so after I had actually decided what to do I set about it and now have the first release of FollowMe. I decided that if I was going to do this it might as well be a bit of fun so I decided to try and incorporate Google Maps into it seeing as I have been looking into using the new Google Maps Flash API (and disappointed you cannot use it currently in an AIR desktop application - but thats another story).

I have just finished a customization request for iSixSigma who required a branded version of MagONE. You can find more details of this on my showcase site here.

"Steve is a fantastic business partner. His customized Smugmug Photo Gallery Widget adds fantastic visual appeal and great interest to our websites. It has a clean design and is a snap to implement. I'd recommend working with Steve and implementing his Widget to everyone."
-- Michael Cyger, Founder of iSixSigma.com

I have updated MagONE ,it now features image click through. If you click on the currently displayed photo a new browser window will open and the current smugmug album page is displayed with the clicked image as the current one.

I have created a very simple flash movie player using Flex 3. It can be re-sized and it will play single flash movies(flv) by setting up a flashvar call vf.
There is an article in my Adobe AIR Diary ( see the Books menu) or go straight to the article here. I have made the player free to download and use if anyone is interested.

This was quite an interesting "home brew" project I put together over the weekend for my brother. He runs a small engineering firm and has a keen interest in both photography and railways. Add this to my curiosity with what can be done simply with Flex and you have the Video Jukebox.

He is currently building up an archive of photos and videos of railway related subjects for people to access on the internet. So I have created am embeddable video player (a widget to use the web 2.0 terminology) that can play the videos that are uploaded to his site. The list of videos is dynamic so as more are added to the site the available list will get longer. Still in the "Beta" stage at the moment (there you go web 2.0 again), you can see the player in the left hand column.
