For all you Linux users out there: “F4L is an open source development environment for Macromedia Flash, a multi-platform format(swf/svg) widely used for web applications and vector animation.” This is an Open Source project called, Flash for Linux (F4L). It gives you the ability to make Flash movies on your Linux system and from the looks of the screenshots and movies, it looks really nice. Makes me wish I had Linux installed right now.

You can make swf-banners with it.

FAT is not open source, you should have told it. If you don’t want open source, download MOHO wich is 100 times better than FAT

Just a quick note that Virb, a new social network that’s got me excited, has launched today. I was accepted into the private beta a couple months ago and its really come a long way. It’s beautifully designed, has great iTunes integration, and has got a little bit of everything in there. Perhaps what I like most is how customizable the profiles are. Be sure to check it out!

swfIR is a new Flash replacement technique that replaces and adds visual effects to images on the fly using simple JavaScript. It’s similar to the the popular Flash text replacement technique, sIFR. You can, without physically editing an image, set borders, shadows, alpha transparencies, blurring, rotation and more to any image on your website. Pretty neat! (via Mike Davidson)
