I’ve recently deployed my first application written in
Adobe AIR 2. It’s a nifty piece of software written specifically for the needs of a local bakery to help them manage daily orders, especially during holiday seasons.
Even though AIR 2 is still in Beta, I decided to use it for this project as it has a large range of new features I wanted to use, like the detection of mass storage devices, which I use for a “smart” backup function that automatically runs a database backup if an authorized USB memory stick is connected.
Printing with Adobe Air still sucks though, which is why I’ve used the native code integration to properly do this.

But after almost exactly two years after the initial release, the free spellchecker for Luxembourgish now has a new website, a nicer logo, an improved online checker as well as a thesaurus (synonym dictionary).

The CSV, Luxembourg’s largest political party, has a new website. I have been working on that project at a software development company called Eleven for roughly two months now.
After having created the previous website of the CSV a few years ago I was asked if I wanted to help out during my summer holidays. As the project involved Web 2.0ish stuff such as user generated content, blogs and videos (and most importantly image reflections 
) I decided to take the job. Now that the site is online I really have to say that I am quite happy with the result.
I will spend my remaining few days at work writing the documentation and applying the final touches before resuming my computer science studies in Kaiserslautern.
