Tom what day are you leaving? It's a secret why i'm asking but a good one.
And also who is going from the NG team?
And also look out for Luis!

I'm flying out to San Diego on Monday. Most of the NG team will still be at the office, which YES, I feel kinda bad about... Next year we really gotta have a Newgrounds booth. Tim and Josh will be at Comic-Con, though. Tim comes out to help set up and tear down the booth, then visits family in-between. Josh is on the Behemoth team, and he moved east from San Diego, so he goes back to visit everyone too.

Yeah, that's a good question and we ask ourselves often. I'm hoping we'll all sit down once a week to make sure we are all working on clear goals for the week. As the team grows, we need to make sure everyone is busy working on the right stuff.

That's right in the Gaslamp, right? Can people under 21 get in there at night?

My schedule at Comic-Con always feels so hectic, but it would be cool if a bunch of NG people could meet up somewhere at some point.

Yeah, it's right there. You can walk from ComicCon. All ages can get in, and the condom machine in the bathroom is fake. My friend tested it.

Sorry April =(

At 7/13/06 03:57 PM, The_Crook wrote: With the whole adding things to collections page, how does it work? Is it like, once the flash reaches a certain number of recommendations it gets in? Or is it like, you say add it to a collection and it goes to a list for someone to look at and see if it's good enough for the collection?

The old system:
1) I updated the html code for the collection page, to include the icon, link and description of the item I was adding. I then uploaded it via FTP.
2) I created a text file with the ID# of the submission, and put in code for all the link icons to the related collections. I uploaded that to a folder where it was then read in to the page, so that when you view a submission, you see the links to the relevant collections.

The current system:
1) I use a web-based form to add the submission to the collection page. I don't have to edit any code or upload any files. It automatically generates the links back to relevant collections. Makes life easier. :)

It's a good thing that the known "NG Flash Page" is now linking to the collection page. :)
Does this also means that the tutorial page can be more often updated dynamicly?

Aww man. I'm definately missing out on Comic-Con this year. All I was planning to do on the 21st was go Clerks II. I can imagine what Downtown San Diego is going to look like. On Independence Day weekend we had over a million people on the beaches, I can imagine how insane the convention center will be.

I hope that once the Comic-Con is over we can get some new information on the new Behemoth game. We haven't gotten any new news in like a year.


I suck.

Sounds great. It'd be so much better if I had the $600 to shell out for Flash.

By doing this, I eliminated two standalone pages that no longer need to be redone in CSS for the site redesign. The turials now fall under the standard collection template and the "introduction to Flash" tutorial now falls under the standard Portal submission template.

So.... The site IS getting redone? Can't wait.

:Comic-Con is next week!

Have fun.

We got a fun art thread! There is a picture floating around of Optimus Prime in the new Transformers movie. In the picture he is in truck form, so now it's your job to draw him in robot form! Check out the thread to see what Jeff, Mike, Josh and I came up with. Stamper apparently scrapped his... We'll keep pressuring him to submit one.

I wish I could draw....

In office news... Our conference room is now under construction. New walls, new lighting, new paint, new carpet. I really should be taking pictures... Ok, I'll go take some now before I forget. I still need to make a page for the 2006 mod-meetup, I'm falling so far behind. :(

New video? I AM EXPLODING IN MY PANTS RIGHT NOW.

If you are coming to Comic-Con, let me know! Also, feel free to make suggestions for the tutorials page! Finally, submit your own Optimus art!!!

I live in SC. That would be a 12 Hour drive. I won't see you there. = '(
