  • USB Phone in Flashcom

    Peldi just demo’d this USB phone in Flashcom. Basically, you use a phone to talk rather than a microphone. Although it’s uncomfortable to some, Peldi explained that some clients do not like wearing headsets when using a Flashcom application. Some people need to get over themselves and not worry about their hair being messed up… but I need to respect that some people are like that, so here’s a solution.

  • Same Shite, Different Generation

    Laced with Mountain Dew burn out, and Dorito induced head numbness, I’ll attempt to describe a small, miniscule dilemma, that although has me semi-worked up, I do recongize the fact that it’s so insignifianct. Although my current marriage associations are not close enough to give me Murphy’s Law verbatim, I’ve watched enough TV drama in my youth to know all the cynical viewpoints.

    Times are changing but the relationship problems remain the same.

    Over a quarter of a century ago, my father would arrive home, and be faced with a moral dilemma: Do I spend time with the wife watching TV, or go play pool with the guys?

    This very day, although the activities have changed, the decision to spend time with da misses, or day boyz is still in effect: Do I travel with my girlfriend and a few aquaintances to Dathamor to help improve her hand-to-hand fighting skills to learn meditation to help her Doctoring abilities OR do I hang with the boyz in outlying Germany, playing the parts of American and German solidiers respectfully, fighting to the teeth and falling over dead, only to be resurrected 8 seconds later to repeat the whole process until that campaign’s goal is won?

    Decisions, decisions…

  • Celebrity Blog

    That blond chick from Smallville. They even call it a blog. Wonder what the marketing people make of it (regardless if they themselves write it or not).

  • Central: What an app should NOT be named

    I’m sitting here coding broadcasters… and I thought of an idea to put all my mini apps into Central. Should help me distribute my stuff easier and help people manage them as I take a different approach every 4 months in my distribution of them (components, window SWF’s, FLA’s, etc.).

    … and I thought about what NOT to name my apps. If you’ve seen an installation, or the marketing ad, it says, “Central is AccuWeather!” or whatever app your installing. Naturally, being immature and a geek who wishes he was clever, I started kickin’ it ActionScript.com-comment style, and came up with these…

    Central is…
    – a ham sandwhich
    – a prog with a phat icon
    – a cheesemuffin
    – an MM brainchild
    – just south of Houston
    – COMING IN FAST ON MY SIX!!!
    – breathtaking
    – central to this discussion
    – a teenage mutant ninja turtle

    No, I didn’t patent those names, but if you make an Central app, clearly think of how it will fit into the installation sentence and not sound silly, hehe!
