So, doing string parsing for this project, no big deal and suddenly weird stuff starts happening. It seems that indexOf is detecting “th_” in the word “stunt”. Ok, most programmers are cool with that… I can work with that.
But suddenly, String.split start’s doing some whacked things…
“Dad, they want $500 plus $25 in escrow.”
“Alright, well, I have a boat show next week, so I’ll order new business cards, and for those signs that will be at my booth that have the web address, I’ll just inform people that our web address has changed.”
“I could haggle with them; additionally, one of the steps sounded overly complicated, so maybe it’d cost me less if I did one of the steps. Who knows… what do you want me to tell them?”
“Tell them that I’ll give them $125 cash for it right now, otherwise they can go f$%* themselves, they own it. Put that in the email, word for word.”
“Cool, will do.”

This comic is pretty much based on fact. For instance, in one of the many patches, they fixed the way Darth Vadar’s cape looked vs. actually fixing many bugs and broken professions that players use in the game. Management for this game is such a joke, hence this comic being so damn funny!

So I’m sitting there watching Breeze, it’s Live by the way,
and it’s obviously solved it’s technical challenges with ease, a mad “hurray”!
We learn about Director MX 2004 and all it has new to offer, and even before it’s begun,
your having the urge to fill Macromedia’s coffer.
Scarfing on pizza, downing mad soda,
I see familiar names from fellow designers and codah’z.
Now, I dig the DVD (ROM), I dig the external editing, the sprite & channel naming,
and the Stage that can dock while authoring.
But I think most what I dig, regardless of the slow bytecode, is the JavaScript Jingo,
implemented via open-source ECMA from Lingo.
I hope Java guys dig it, open source hounds try it out,
and a few Flashers do a round about… face.
