- Barely slept
- Registration. Got a goodybag containing flash on the beach slippers, stickers, a towel and a book.
- Intro.
- Next version of flash gets a cross-domain component cache, typed arrays, encrypted video streams, much better text flow, 64 bit support, multiple processor support, full screen gpu support, … Also see Aral’s post on this.
- Flex gets a performance profiler and renaming a methods will change all calls to it. Refactoring is finally here.
- Sneak preview of Flash CS4. Animation without keyframes, bezier paths for motion tweens, reverse kinematics, …
- Particle effects in as3.

- Joshua Davis was awesome.
- Casino time. Lost 5 pounds on the roulette.
Food and drinks
- full english breakfast with eggs, bacon and mushrooms
- funky tuna bagel
- loads of fried stuff at the casino
