I thought I should mention that while there has been a lack of standard blog posting from me in the last few months (due to a hectic work schedule) I *am* micro-blogging at regular intervals (usually several times a day) via my Twitter feed.

This is perfect, as it allows me to tweet or retweet information that may be of interest to fellow developers, without impacting significantly upon my working day.

Here is a sample of the type of info I’ve linked to in the past few weeks:

Dependency injection with Flex (article)
Flight Framework (custom data binding framework)
Creating a PicLens Web Application with Flex and Away 3D (3 part tutorial)
Grooveshark (Flash/Flex web based music player)
AIR SQLite Administration Tool
AIR Application Descriptor Manager
Using Swiz (3 part tutorial)
Zoetrope (video)

If any of that sounds like it would have been of interest to you then you can find the links on my feed, and if you want to follow my (or anyone else’s) Twitter feed, the easiest thing to do is to create a Twitter account then get yourself a free desktop client such as the rather excellent AIR app Tweetdeck (does anyone even use the web interface??!)

If you have an iPhone you can also get Twitterific for free from the app store (though I would recommend Tweetie, which is worth every penny of the £1.79 price tag).

Twitter is a great medium as long as you subscribe to the right people. I try to keep 90% of my feed related to Flex/AIR/Flash so you won’t be receiving too many banal posts like “I am eating a sandwich” from me ( although I occasionally chat rubbish when I feel like it ;) )

Other regular Twitter users I can highly recommend include [but are no means limited to]:

@FlashGen
@davidderaedt
@peterelst
@polyGeek
@InsideRIA
@Fitzchev
@leebrimelow
@jwilker
@air

Happy tweeting!
