Songhay System says goodbye to Flash…
Seven years ago Steve Jobs heralded the aggressive move away from Adobe Flash. It killed the battery life of iPhones. Steve’s move came just five years after Songhay System (me) announced our Flash audio presentation player.
Seven years is the antithesis of agile development. There were several challenges in the way of today’s great news. I usually fail to remember them all:
- I had other, day-job-ish software development projects on my plate.
- I had to introduce myself to the Microsoft cloud platform, Azure to try to avoid obsoleting again.
- After lengthy research, I had to finally adopt Google’s AngularJS (which will cost more time to move away from the 1.x version) and something that used to be called Twitter Bootstrap.
- I rebuilt my company website, songhaysystem.com, and redesigned kintespace.com while trying to work on a new player at the same time.
- I had off-the-chain family issues that are typical of African Americans.Try the new player by, say, listening to Gerald Horne, Haroon Siddiqui: Gerald Horne on CKLN: 2008-03-01. Maybe Noam Chomsky: Propaganda and Control of the Public Mind? There are over 30 audio presentations that can be found by browsing around our Interviews and Documentary section Poetry in Streams or Digitized Art.
