- I’m sorry flcodr
A bit more than a year ago I launched flcodr. It was designed to be a way for me to learn PHP and also organise my actionscript snippets. I decided to open this up to the world so that people could share. The site is by no means perfect and it was my plan to [...]
- I’ll see you there!
At Flash Camp Birmingham that is: I don’t really need to say more than that I don’t think. It promises to be a great day out and hopefully i’ll have a new version of flCodr up for then!!
- Aspect Ratio Calculator

- Another month, another mention in Web Designer Mag
Not that I mean to show off or anything, but I was in Web Designer Mag again this month. This time they were featuring my Locator panel extension for the GMap component. The extension is a search engine for latitude and longitude co-ordinates that can be entered into the GMap component as points on a [...]
- Sorted!!
After many hours of hard work by the team here at the SizzlaMedia offices (ok just me, in the study) the problem with the GMap powered apps has been fixed.
