Next stop is Tasmania 🇦🇺 Super excited!
So what's next? Oh, yes: TRAVEL THE WORLD. Next stop Singapore.

Attending the Swiss New Marketing Forum today. Interested to see what the pros have come up with.
@abossard True, true. Security is important. But I was wondering about the legal implications. If an external entity could request access.
On that note: I’m looking for a cloud hosting solution in Switzerland for running a .Net application.
@tekkie I Agree. Swiss companies also buckle under pressure (I'm looking at you PostFinance). Still better to stay in the same jurisdiction.
I heard once that ecommerce data for swiss customers should be hosted from a server within the country. Anybody know the legal implications?
Possible that I just got trolled by @bennyschudel and his hipster JS.
@bennyschudel Useless CPU hog IMO, due to additional object creation and type conversion. Also reads like a fourth grader coded it :-P
@tekkie I agree. Compared to Unity, the 3D workflow is sluggish at best. They would have had to release the tools together with FP 11.
Now that AIR has fancy 3D capabilites, Adobe needs to update their tooling. Before everybody flocks to Unity.
Outlook says the meeting takes place at 7 on Monday morning and I’m the only one to show up :-|
@abossard But I figured out the real formula in the meantime ;-)
@abossard Yup. It's often possible to do a magical constant hack (some number that works without nowing why).
