At the start of January, I ran a questionnaire on the Arp mailing list to try and get a grasp of how developers are using Arp. Part of the questionnaire was aimed at understanding which other technologies Arp was being used alongside.

All of this data is now sitting comfortably in an Excel sheet and here are some aggregate results.

I just read that AOL and Yahoo are planning to start charging people for delivering email to AOL/Yahoo email addresses.

They broke my YubNub but now it's back. I'm referring to the YubNub commands I wrote a little while back to help search the Flex 2 and Flex 1.5 LiveDocs. They were temporarily broken as the LiveDocs were being updated for the Public Beta 1 release of Flex 2 but they appear to be back.

Much ado about YubNubs? :)

I saw the latest pre-release version of Amfphp 1.2 yesterday that actually generates the Arp project/folder structure and the classes and saves them. You guys are going to love this when it's released. Patrick's implemented the feature in a very usable manner (I actually right-clicked at one point to see if it was Flash but it's actually all done with some very neat HTML/JavaScript.)
