New Media Arena
For those of you in the Atlanta area bored this weekend, here is what I am doing:
– Friday night = going to the New Media Arena with a friend, a new LAN Party place that I helped lay carpet glue for, to play games all night. I’ll post directions later.
– Saturday noon = going to the New Media Arena @ noon to play games with a bunch of homies all day till about dinner, get food and beer, and then play again till 10pm.
– Saturday night = going to see the Crystal Method spin at Visions nightclub, across the street from the Rivera in Midtown, near 14th street. $20 at the door. Diesel Boy is spinnin at the Rivera, I think, too that night.
Macromedia Central: Efficiency Rhetoric
Reading <a href=”http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/jd_forum/jd027.html”>JD’s article</a> on <a href=”http://www.macromedia.com”>MM’s site</a> about Macromedia Central. Something that I thought, to me, was the most interesting thing of the article was the section titled <b>Playing nice with other apps</b> on his questions section. There is a quote in that paragraph talking about how your movie could run slow because of another movie taking all the resources (120fps, for loops running in a 0 millsecond interval with updateAfterEvent).
“…The ‘politeness’ of the first year’s tools may have a big effect on how popular the overall technology becomes…”
A ton of opinions…
Macromedia Central
When I see the new Macromedia Central logo, even though it does follow the design style of the rest of the their products, I still think of:
– TRON
– Sci Fi Channel
– WipeoutXL
I swear, dude, most of my apps made for that will be free. BTW, here are some links from Bryan Rice posted on <a href=”http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?1:mss:68414″>Flashcoders</a>.
