Pretty interesting blog here by Bill Perry, a product evangelist for mobile devices at Adobe.
So far it seems that Flash and Flash lite haven't been widely adopted by mobile devices, but with Microsoft licensing Flash Lite for Windows Mobile, and with what Bill Perry says about adding some form of Flash to the iPhone, it will be interesting to see if this changes over the next couple of years.

I have been working on two presentations lately, one on Zombies, and one on Scuba diving and I needed some sound effects for my presentation. I found The Free Sound Project which a collaborative database of Creative Commons licensed sounds.
I was able to find both Zombie sounds, and sounds from a scuba diver. Pretty cool site if you need some sound effects to liven up your training.

Adobe Presenter deletes Articulate Presenter project files??

Ok, spent the last day and a half chasing around this very nasty bug in Adobe Presenter 6.1 and felt compeled to blog about it.
I couldn't for the life of me figure out why the SWFs and FLVs that I had inserted via Articulate Presenter were magically getting deleted from my system. It turned out that the system I was using also had Adobe Presenter 6.1 installed on it. Even after removing Articulate Presenter, Adobe Presenter still continued to delete my non-Adobe Presenter project files.
See the steps and screen grabs below for a step-by-step account of what happens.
1. Install Articulate Presenter 5
2. Create a new PowerPoint presentation
3. Insert a SWF via Articulate Presenter
4. Notice this project folder is created
5. Notice the project folder contains the SWF I inserted
6. I uninstalled Articulate Presenter
7. Verified the SWF I inserted was still in the project folder
8. I installed Adobe Presenter
9. Hit Save in PowerPoint
10. AHHHHHH...Notice my SWF just disappeared from my Articulate Presenter project folder

In case you are wondering, this only seems to happen when you have Adobe Presenter on your system, and I am not really sure what versions of Adobe Presenter are affected.
So, if you have wondered why files seem to mysteriously get deleted from your system, you might want to check and make sure that Adobe Presenter did not delete them.
Note: I kid you not, this really happens, and I know a lot of potential customers of ours and Adobes might trial both products, so if you decided to purchase our software, I would strongly suggest uninstalling Adobe Presenter if you ever had it installed.
It has been awhile since I have posted. Caught a bit of the flu about 2 weeks ago and I am still recovering.First things first. Check out this auction going on at eBay right now for a Zombie Survival kit. A friend sent this to me a couple of days ago, the kit is now selling for $280. I soo wish I had this in my office, but at $280 it is a bit steep. But can you really place a price on protection from Zombies?
Also, congratulations to Gabe on winning the first Articulate Miles Challenge. Gabe ran over 95 miles during the 30 days of the challenge. We had some late comers to the contest who ended up doing rather well (Magnus and Robert).
We also just yesterday started the second Articulate Miles Challenge and now feature 5 Articulate employees in the challenge. See how everyone is doing below. Good luck everyone.
