The much anticipated Adobe AIR technology version 1.0 was introduced February 25th of this year. It’s a promising platform and that’s why the CreOFF VAT calculator was rewritten for the Adobe AIR platform.

A while ago in 2007 Duval Guillaume made this bilingual mini-site for their client Dexia. And me, I got the chance to try out a PHP framework called CodeIgniter. What’s so special about it? Well… this was the first time I chose to work with CodeIgniter and I’ve been in love ever since.
Simple things like embedding a Flash SWF into the blog seem evident, but apparently WP doesn’t like the EMBED/OBJECT tags very much. And there are other reasons not to use the embed/object tags anyway (like the ‘click first to activate this control’-feature in Internet Explorer).

Somehow I have a special connection with maps. Maybe it’s because I like to travel and explore. Even when sitting behind my pc in a small room I wanna get the feeling that ‘there is more out there’. And working on maps is one way to convince you of that 
These are two examples of map applications in Flash I made for Duval Guillaume. What’s interesting about these is that both have a Flash to Javascript connection so the Flash movie could communicate with the html page it was in.
A simplified version of that map can still be found on the Vlaanderen vakantieland site.
The second example was made for the Weekendesk.be website. It’s part of a search engine where you can select several items on the page (including the country and place on the map) to select possible destinations:
update: alas, you can no longer try it online.
Website + banner campaign I made for Duval Guillaume. Mark your favourite dogspots and meet other dogs (and probably also other dog owners).
For the tech minded amongst you: it was written in PHP on a Fusebox framework, the site used ajax, Googlemaps and other scripting extensively (Fusebox is a framework that’s popular amongst ColdFusion developers)
The banner below is just a screenshot of one of the banners that existed – it’s no longer functional since the website has gone offline. In the real banner(s) you could type in your postal code or town name in the text box and click on “zoeken” (search) and you would be redirected to the Dogs on the Block site already showing the correct location on the map…
