Li : Dev Actionscript Development Blog

Lidev shutting down

Several months ago a friend told me: "Hey, you're doing some pretty cool stuff with Flash... Why don't you open up a blog?" To be honest, I didn't even have a clear idea of what a blog was at the time, but I followed his advice and created lidev. At first I was amazed that people were actually coming here, reading my posts, and even providing me with feedback that would catalyze the playground or even hook me up with other "flashers" and/or open new paths of research.

After some time of zero activity here, I believe that the cycle has come to an end now. Not sure why, I just feel it. Perhaps its time to break the routine a bit and focus on new paths of learning, and start thinking about new projects, more concrete, more specific. Lidev has been a wonderful place for me to get a grasp on how information can be shared between us and how a very vast net of knowledge can be sustained in such a way. Beyond that, it's cycle has closed.

Before the shut down, I wanted to thank anyone who has visited lidev, had fun with it, interacted and helped me grow and learn. A big thank you also to all the other bloggers out there who put up exquisite posts about Flash and programming in general. And of course, a big hurray to open source development and sharing of experiments, source and geeky Flash knowledge!
