The “proof of concept” project named ReviewR that let users review sites and share their reviews with others is no longer available for download.
A better solution is now available from Adobe itself, which now incorporates a similar review service in it’s range of CS Web software. Have a look at Adobe’s new offering, integrated into the CS5 suites : Adobe CS live services

I didn’t make much noise with CreOFF lately, this was mostly due to the fact I’ve been helping Emakina with a rather big project for the past months. But the start of the new year marks some -late- new year’s resolutions:
- CreOFF will show it’s face into the real world more often: I’m participating in the FeWebPlus sessions.
- Yes, expect the CreOFF site to get a new look. No world shattering news but still interesting because under the hood it might use some technologies that eventually will make it into your projects as well…
- and behind the scenes CreOFF is working on yet another usefull app – but more on that in the coming months.

Well, that’s what it says today in the list of most popular programming languages.
See for yourself:

Although I have the utmost respect for my fellow COBOL programmers, being an Actionscript programmer myself it’s obvious I would prefer to see the Actionscript language rise from it’s current 22nd position.
Hmm… what can I do? maybe I should do my part by taking less PHP projects and adding some more Actionscript to the mix?
Check the current popularity status on the TIOBE website where I found the list. It’s updated once a month.

Imagine this: at the bus stop you notice a new poster that advertizes the latest concert of your favourite band coming to the city. You aim your mobile phone’s camera at the poster and hey presto: your phone’s browser is redirected to the band’s mobile website where you’re given the option to buy the last available tickets with your phone immediately.

CreOFF has been experimenting with different technologies and ideas since day one. But uptill now links to those ideas were scattered around the web (or this blog)
That’s why now there’s a special space dedicated to (some of) the ideas that might become true apps: labs.creoff.com
From time to time extra ideas will be added, so check out this blog and the labs pages !
