That’s right kiddies, I just got bit by the new security restrictions in Flash Player 10. Â A developer I’m working with claimed his new image save feature worked. Â I tried it, and it didn’t. Â This morning, another developer sings praise in an email chain, and I’m like huh? Â I try again, and get the:
Error #2176: Certain actions, such as those that display a pop-up window, may only be invoked upon user interaction, for example by a mouse click or button press.
Doh!
I’ve briefly kept tabs on the blogs the past few months, and only rarely seen a post discussing the economy. Like Carrie says, if you want to write well, write about what you know.  My guess is, we don’t have many economists/software developers/designers blogging on AXNA, or linking to others who match that criteria. I’ve seen a couple over at O’Reilly Radar which didn’t really help in understanding the future.  I’ve seen the posts Techcrunch did about investment firms tightening their budgets, lay offs at prominent west coast tech companies (+ the contrasting new companies who’ve raised funding), and author analysis of what it all means. The only point I can glean from those posts is that it’ll be harder for startups out west to garner funding, thus reducing the amount of new startups that can get their ideas (good or dumb) off the ground faster.
Twitter is down, imagine that. Â So, posting this uber-rad, dope, and whack song here instead. Just needs a baseline, and it’s club worthy.
In central Atlanta, driving home from a friends house, my wife calls.
“My friend came over, but there was no gas on the way here. Â She doesn’t have enough to make it home.”
