the shit factory

ok, so it seems that with every flash project i do, at some point, i compile the swf, it works as expected, then i save it and come back to the .fla later and i’ve lost some changes. i swear that i’m just like jesus in that i save, but i seem to keep losing changes…

anyway, i think that there’s a ghost in my computer. john thinks my house is haunted, but i think it’s just inside my pc. why else would it just reboot every once in a while for no reason…

i know this is nonsense, but i noticed today that i’ve neglected the shit factory for almost a month. i need some sort of regular feature to motivate me, or feedback from my dear readers to let me know that someone indeed does care (but of course nobody’s reading this anyway)

i need to sleegt bvf6vb6 <—head on keyboard. i need to sleep…

I moved duffy’s site over to php from javascript. wow, my first php page… aren’t you impressed…

ok, I’ve added the flickrRSS plugin to place a little filmstrip of photos in the sidebar. I had to make a small change to the source (hard coding my flickr user id), since I couldn’t figure out how to specify a tag and a user, and when I tried to specify a tag of shawn without a user, I got a picture of some random topless guy with his hand i-don’t-want-to-speculate-where which won’t work for me, or for bob since this experiment is to get relevant recent pictures onto his pages…

next is to get the name of the post to control what pictures show up…

update 10 minutes later
now I can specify a “photoTag” custom field on my post, and the photos in the sidebar will be my photos with that tag (this post is dedicated to shana… why? just because). I just need to figure out how to make these changes not as changes to the templates but somewhere more global…

woke up dreaming of <h2>s and css and textile again. this really has to stop. i mean I like what i do, but i don’t want to do it in my sleep.

oh, and i’m going to make an effort for all of my subjects to be a song title, band name, or album name from now on. just because i’m a dork

so we were joking about blink and marquee tags and all of the other stupid html crap from the browser war days, and I thought to myself “i wonder if the blink tag still works in firefox” seeing as it rose from the ashes of netscape (whose 8.0 beta is weird and ugly, and chock full of ads right in the application. why why why???) so I present here my own little chunk of www history…

welcome to my website

look in firefox for the fully blinkalicious effect yo!
