Then came SEPY and I got hooked straight-away. Just last year I transitioned to FlashDevelop and have been using that since. I convinced my fellow workmates and now we are all using it.

I knew there were other tools put there, but one that I really wanted to try was FDT. Check out there cool site and view the demos they have.
A couple of months back I won a license at Sydney’s Flash User Group (thanks Chris!) and I have started using it for tests. I currently haven’t fully switched yet, because I find FlashDevelop quite fast and very easy to use compared to FDT. Though FDT has on the fly syntax checking. It means I don’t have to press F7 each time before compiling.

Then talking about my PHP development environment. It was trusty old Textpad through-out all these years. Adding different syntax libraries, macros and all kind of clip extensions. But it was never an IDE. It was missing syntax checking and the famous “intellisense”

Now I have started to move towards Eclipse, and I’ve tried PHPEclipse and PDT. I had troubles with PDT but I didn’t have much time on my hands to see why it wasn’t working as expected. I will try to consolidate my both main languages (Flash and PHP) under one IDE.

My next step is to use them both on a production project. Then I will be able to assess if it’s worth switching from FlashDevelop.

It would be great to here what others are using for their own PHP and Flash development.

Using an add-on for Mozilla Thunderbird called Lightning, you can view events properly in Mozilla Thunderbird.

There are currently 2 Mozilla projects that let you do this, Sunbird and Lightning. I prefer Lightning because it integrates nicely with the email client.

You can view more information on the Mozilla Calendar Project.
Have you ever received those Events sent by Microsoft Outlook, and see them as raw text, like this:
Raw text:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
PRODID:-//Microsoft Corporation//Outlook 11.0 MIMEDIR//EN
VERSION:2.0
METHOD:REQUEST
BEGIN:VEVENT

When you install the Lightning Add-On, you get a better view of the event.
You can also send events, and view your following events inside the thunderbird client.
This is how you see it once it’s installed:
