		<title>Lexus Dark Ride</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a hugely ambitious project that represents an attempt to forge a new direction in car advertising and, as we&#8217;ve done on many previous projects at Stink Digital, explore new ways of bringing film to the web. The result is a 12 minute interactive film in which the user participates. After submitting themselves to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Webby, One Show, D&amp;AD and Shots</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To my delight the work we&#8217;ve done at Stink Digital continues to be recognised within the industry this year. This article from Shots places both Carousel (aka Philips Cinema 21:9) and A hundred lovers for Diesel in their top 20 digital campaigns. Meanwhile Carousel was a Webby Awards winner. It also picked up Gold and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Diesel A hundred lovers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well I&#8217;ve been inexcusably slack in posting updates this year. Apologies to my readers. Both of you. Anyway, backtracking a bit, the first big project I completed this year was an interactive film showcasing Diesel&#8217;s 2010 Summer collection. A homage to Goddard&#8217;s 1964 film &#8216;Bande &#224; part&#8217;, we shot the video in an uber cool [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quick Flash Tips #2: Handling &#8216;Load Never Completed&#8217; IOErrorEvent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a potentially annoying error that occurs in Safari/Chrome when you hit refresh or close a tab containing Flash content. If you have the debug player you see: Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed. It can crash Safari or, in the case of Chrome, show a &#8216;broken plugin&#8217; screen, shutting down [...]]]></description>

		<title>FlexPMD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a nice open source tool from Adobe for reviewing and optimising your code. Although the set-up is a bit fiddly, I installed it on FDT without any issue. To run the plug-in you simply select &#8216;Run PMD&#8217; and a list of warnings is generated. Examples include &#8216;HeavyContructor&#8217;, &#8216;TooManyFunction&#8217; and &#8216;UnusedParameter&#8217;. You can click [...]]]></description>

		<title>New open source code repo. First commit: YouTube API Player</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve set up a Google code repository at http://code.google.com/p/stinkdigital-flash/ with the idea of releasing some the work I do to the community. The plan is to add simple, encapsulated, useful (hopefully) chunks of code such as utilities and APIs. The first commit is a wrapper for the YouTube ActionScript Player API. This was created for [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Year New Dev Environment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first thing I did as a developer this year was to install a trial of FDT; the result of my ongoing frustration with Flex Builder and the persuasion of a swathe of developers I&#8217;ve worked with recently. A week in and I must say I&#8217;m mightily impressed. The whole application is really responsive, much [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Holidays!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the Stink Digital season&#8217;s greetings card we thought, as you do after a good few beers at Electricity Showrooms, that it might be cool to do some kind of snowball fight where you could record your throw and launch it at your unsuspecting friends via Twitter or Facebook. A month later we&#8217;d wrapped a [...]]]></description>

Really thrilled to have got two FWA&#8217;s this year, I think it&#8217;s my favourite award as a developer&#8230; even despite the lack of partying involved!

		<title>Quick Flash Tips #1: &#8216;-frame start ClassName&#8217; compiler argument</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is simple but very handy little device that allows you to begin displaying your main application SWF before it&#8217;s actually loaded. What the argument does is basically creates a second pseudo frame within your compiled SWF that starts your main app class. On the first &#8216;frame&#8217; you will in general have only the classes [...]]]></description>

We were up against some excellent work such as AKQA&#8217;s Eco Drive so it&#8217;s really a massive compliment to win &#8211; I&#8217;m still not really taking it all in&#8230; www.bimaawards.com/shortlist]]></description>
