As my colleague Camille Reynders pointed out to me, Facebook policy is more severe than most might think. This is the only data that you can keep in your own database for more than 24 hours:

Integrate your full Flash website with Drupal. Drupal delivers out-of-the-box content administration, SEO, deeplinking, AMFPHP services and much, much, much more. Do you want an example we did? Check http://www.djeeni.be/ (disable JavaScript to see the Drupal site).
Concerning hybrid websites, multiple Flash parts integrate quite well in regions of a Drupal website. Check out [...]
Just about every Flash developer is capable of making a media player, but I know only one where a business grew out of it and that’s the JW player (respect!). I don’t know about you, but seeing this makes me dream about launching my own successful RIA. Besides the fact that I first need a [...]
You might have noticed that when using 3D positioning in Flash CS4 that the image becomes a little blurry. For example, check out this sample demonstrating the problem: http://www.novio.be/demo/problems/unsharp.html. The trained eye immediately spots that the left image is fuzzy and the right one is sharp. You would expect your image being sharp when you [...]
I made a quick ‘n dirty sample to illustrate how Drupal services can be called in Flex using keys and authentication: http://www.novio.be/downloads/drupal_services/ (right-click, view source).
As you can see in the example, we have two types of calls. One that’s publicly available to anonymous users and one that requires user authentication. The latter requires some more [...]
I’ve put together a sample (right-click, view source) to illustrate how you can switch between different implementations of your delegate business logic by using a “BusinessDelegateFactory”-class. The sample itself is deliberately kept drop dead simple, only to focus on what I want to explain. Check out how we switch to a specific delegate implementation by [...]
When building applications or tools that need to be skinnable at runtime, using Ant to rebuild your runtime CSS files is a huge timesaver.

It’s a very good thing that uncaught runtime errors are automatically being exposed for users having the debug version of the Flash player plugin. But for websites or applications in production (i.e. “live”), it’s a good idea not to scare or annoy users with those standard error dialogs popping up. There are more elegant ways [...]
Look at that title… Now that’s a problem that gave me quite some grief for too many hours: the algorithm to efficiently merge prioritized lists of overlapping date ranges.
First, I thought I had it in a minute, but then I saw it was wrong. After quite some fruitless tweaking of my initial solution, I started [...]
I’ve updated the EventDelayer & DelayedEvent classes. Now, the EventDelayer counts the number of times the original event handling was skipped. The advantage of this is that for instance in the case of a next button being clicked repeatedly, you can jump to the correct step after a series of clicks (and ignore all the [...]
