7. To learn Adobe AIR, I’ve tried to create a Tumblr desktop client. … and it went into flames. In case you don’t know what is Tumblr, go to http://tumblr.com/
8. Because I hit a road block with WYSIWYG editors. That’s when another story chips in.
10. I lost interest in developing the app, and no more AIR for me. Things gotten quiet as I focus on other stuff.
11. Oh well, at least, I did something and created Fx.WindowBounds A MooTools class for animating AIR windows. http://code.google.com/p/fx-windowbounds/ which is now outdated and preceded by @kassens ’s MooTools Fire http://github.com/kassens/fire
12. One day, I found Titanium. Photo from: http://flic.kr/p/5rcxS7

14. Yahoo Sideline port uses ¼ memory of AIR app http://www.slideshare.net/jhaynie/desktop-applications-using-html-and-javascript
18. Don’t worry. Beta is coming on June 9 th 2009. http://www.appcelerant.com/titanium-beta-launch-party-wwdc-june-9th-6-9pm.html
19. Now, let’s talk about WebKit. It’s everywhere. AIR. Titanium. Safari. Chrome. Adium. Palm Web OS. Even your backyard.

21. This is cool, but something’s missing. I’ve already started enjoying some of these CSS3 goodness when developing Firefox theme(s) – Gecko rendering engine.

23. To learn Titanium, I try to create a Twitter desktop client. Photo from: http://flic.kr/p/66zSwM
24. Oh wait, before that, there’s this Twitter clone... Another abandoned project of mine, sadly speaking.
