Photo stitcher update, plus short links
First I must apologise for the lack of updates. All I can say is that I’ve been very busy. With that in mind, I am happy to announce two updates. First, and most important, is a new version of the CleVR Stitcher. I know that a lot of people have been having problem with poor [...] (translate)
Recent downtime
We’re very sorry about the recent downtime. This was due to some problems on our primary server that required a trip to the datacentre. It should be all working again now. Please contact me if there are any further problems. (translate)
Actionscript 3 vector speedups
Mike Chambers has posted a comparison between the performance of AS3 arrays and the new Vectors available in Flash Player 10. The results look good: he managed a 60% speedup.

S3 outage
Amazon S3, which is where we host most of our images, is having some problems at the moment. We’ve switched over to our backup systems, so thinks should be working fine. However, panoramas embedded in external sites may have some problems while the DNS updates. We should get everything back once Amazon has fixed the [...] (translate)
Resizing Actionscript images with bicubic or bilinear interpolation
I’ve had a few people contact me to ask about how to use clevrlib to resize images with bicubic or bilinear interpolation in Flash or Flex, so I’ll give an overview of how to do this. The InterpolatedBitmapData class adds the methods getPixelBicubic and getPixelBilinear to the BitmapData class, which allows you to fetch the [...] (translate)
