I've recently been looking at a number free File synchronization utilities. I'd previously used SyncToy from Microsoft. It worked well for me for a little while, but then I ended up loosing a number of files because it removed files…
I've recently come across some good articles on Actionscript optimization, so I thought I'd share them with those of you who are Flash coders. If you want to make your code/animation run faster, then there's a good chance something here…

This is a nifty little application which is written in the Processing language, which allows you to draw stick figures and export them to Blender for animation. If you haven’t heard of Processing, it’s an open source programming language…
