Hm... So you're going to make your first animation, but you don't have Flash and you want someone to make it for you? Or are you going to make a game and do you need an artist for that?
I'm gunna go see Inglorious Basterds again in a couple of minutes. Looking forward to it. After that, since I'm not the designated driver today there will be some drinking. The rest of the weekend is reserved for running and programming.

god fucking dammit do people still make these games? i cant believe there's people who would still want to play flash tower defence games - the most unoriginal, uncreative, generic, unartastic, least unique, boring, overrated, and overdone genre of flash games in history.
Yeah, that was... what's his name... Wasn't it criticsquid? or whatever alt-account he has nowadays. Anyway, he stopped his hostingservice and all clients where transfered to another provider.
It's been too long and too many lost projects to not utilize the power of Time Machine and unfortunately it usually takes a disaster like a complete harddrive wipe for most people to realize the necessity of it.
I'm one of those fools I'm afraid. I'm just glad I still have my most important project left. I can rebuild my huge music collection over time, most of my photos I can salvage from my friends I hope. The rest is just gone. All of my university files as well, hope I never need those again :) The music I've made over the years, all my old Flash projects, gone as well. It's interesting to see how you also start to miss the little things you normally never notice, bookmarks for example. Became to comfortable with the fact that as long as I've been using a Mac (the past 10 years or so) it has never crashed on me (well the occasional freeze, but never anything like this). So I never thought the hassle of making back-ups of everything was worth it. So yeah, I'm an ass and I learned my lesson the hard way...

Guess whose computer crashed, destroying absolutely every single file on the harddisk...
Obama's?
Good try, but nay. Ironically it happened when I tried to install Windows on my Mac. That's the last time I'll ever try that again. Lost all my old projects (some of them finished), luckily bar the one I was working on atm. Photo's, music etc. is all gone >:(
Looks like fun, although from the trailer I can't say for sure what the game is about. Obviously trying to hit certain objects with bubblegum, but I'm not sure why or how.
So yeah, apparently that typo almost made me kill myself. I wish Flash had just given me an error message. This is the last project that I program with Flash.

I guess just start a new file and recycle all of your non-classes
That's hardly statisfactory... I seem to have found a different solution, apparently my library contains one or more corrupted items. I think I found the corrupted library item, now I have to restore it somehow and see if that solves my problems.
CS3 has found another way to piss me off. Whenever I compile my movie it ignores all the Actionscript (3), when I try to debug it says it can't debug because there is no actionscript in the .swf file. Anyone have a solution for that?
Holy fuck, shipping costs for a Tankmen figurine is almost $30... I thought I was able to buy the figurine with my store credit, turns out only enough to cover the shipping costs. Hmmm... What to buy then...

Any Mac users upgraded to Snow Leopard yet? Im debating whether its worth it. Loving the £25 upgrade price, fuck you Windows!
I am going to in about 3 days when it arrives via mail. At such a price level, why not, right?
Not impressed just yet. Although it is a very interesting and promising idea (and it will probably take a fair amount of time to put together!) I need to see some moving images first.

WE NEED THIS FEATURE
Talking of this, when i use flash to do any work and i mess up a for loop or get some laggy code i have to restart the entire program, i have no idea why flash player isn't run as a different proccess so we could ctrlaltdelete and get rid of the damn thing.
I thought it auto-stopped after 15 seconds of unresponsiveness? I know mine does anyway.
