Use of AILogger

Today I was convinced to share a piece of code that has been with me for many years. AILogger is a sophisticated text field on your stage to write stuff into when trying to debug a Flash application that’s online. It has several features lite automatic date/time stamping, severity coloring, repeat detection, password protection, line appending and keyboard scrolling. You can download and read more about it here.

Swimming moose and my following 15 minutes

Moose in sunwind

My co-worker Jacob called me up right before 2 pm today to tip me off about a moose swimming in Sandefjord bay. I rushed out with camera in hand and just then it passed me. I was at work and our offices are located right next to the water, and so I snapped this shot.

Now, I didn’t even know these animals could swim, so I was quite surprised. As soon as I got back to my desk I Twittered the incident and uploaded the picture to TwitPic. My Tweet was Re-Tweeted I don’t know how many times, but the picture was viewed by 140 people within the first 15 minutes. And then the Norwegian TV station TV2 called and wanted to interview me and use the picture. The article can be found here.

So I made the news today. Me and a moose.
