Where Does Time Go?
Next thing I know, it’s 11:30 PM. I’m ready to do work, and already the day’s closing down. Gah!

Marbles, Skipping Bombs and Nazis
As I was getting ready to eat dinner, I happened to luck across a great PBS documentary just coming on the television. I’ve seen a few episodes here and there of the Secrets of the Dead series, and it’s all been fairly fascinating. But tonight, it was a documentary on Barnes Wallis and the method…

Alright. I think my scrollbar is working. Yeah yeah, component in MX. But I wanted to make one for this particular project, and it needs to be 5. Right now, based on the # of entries it’s pulling in from XML, it builds a list and scales that gray scroller bar accordingly. I’m pretty proud…
Coffee and a Movie
Oddly, I woke up around 10:30 and was all ready to get back into Flash again. Worked for a bit, and then headed over to Filter to meet Stu and Alex. Stu and I talked about what he wanted for his site, and it all sounds pretty straightforward. I’ll probably be making a variation of…

Well, I was up until 3 AM this morning. Mucking around with Actionscript, trying to make it work. I take that back. Actionscript works fine. I was trying to articulate, clearly, what I wanted it to do. And for a good long while, I wasn’t making much sense.

Are my entries normally this odd? Or am I only noticing it now, since I’m sober?
Nav Up
Attention everyone! The gorilla has jumped out of the plane, and made it safely to the ground. All seems to be well. If you happen to notice the gorilla going on a killing spree, please alert the authorities.
Hibernating
Turned down an invite to go out to eat. I’ve been on a pretty good social roll lately, so I guess I don’t feel so bad declining. I woke up early this morning, and spent several hours at work getting stuff prepped for next week. I had only planned an in-out sort of thing, so…
Analogy
Man, the navigation code for this site is messy. I really need to redo the whole blessed thing, but I’ve got other things vying for my attention. What started off as workarounds ended up requiring additional workarounds of their own. A bad start just leads to more fixes for prior problems. For some reason, this…
