Check out the new page called "snoino."
So now I regret buying that Macromedia Flash MX 2004 for Dummies book. I
figured out how to use the software on my own, and now I'm out $20. Oh well.
Maybe spending money gave me more motivation to learn or something.
I think I have a pretty good grasp on Flash, which isn't bad for only just a few
days of struggling. There's still a lot left to learn, (like how to make an
awesome computer game). Maybe I'll do that over the summer.
Alright, peace out.
Hello. This post serves as a test of my improved blogging system which stores
entries in a database and allows people to quickly jump from entry to entry with
the little arrows on the lower left corner. Big whoop. Eventually I hope to put
something in that allows people to comment. As if anyone even comes to this
site.
Not much is new in Santa Cruz. I'm (guiltily) enjoying my lighter class load
this quarter. Since I had to withdraw from precalculus I've had so much more
time to work on undefined. Speaking of that, a little earlier this week,
after I posted the secret page (ooh), I realized that I had run into a wall:
the design in my head couldn't be fully expressed with the tools I've been using
to build this site. So far, undefined has been a testament to the true
power of combining DHTML, Javascript, CSS and PHP. But these have their limits,
and now I've been feeling somewhat constrained by them. So although I've wanted
to remain a raw-code purist, this will no longer be possible: I'm a designer,
not a programmer. In order to increase my design potential, I'm gonna have to
break down and start using Macromedia Flash to create some of my newer designs.
That also means I'm going to have to learn how to use Macromedia Flash. I've
already got a decent start on it, and after I receive Macromedia Flash MX 2004
For Dummies, I'll become a lot more proficient. Keep an eye on the new "flash"
page (the A key) ... as I learn more, it should get flashier :-D All right,
that's all for now. Peace out.
Ooh, you may notice this blog thing wasn't here before. Big whoop. It's actually
kind of nifty. I thought having the word "blog" in the corner like that was
distracting and detracted from the design, so I made it only flash if there's a
new entry since your last visit. Otherwise it's very discreet.
I put this here because I decided I'd like to be able to sound off on
undefined. It is my undefined site, so I might as well make it somewhat
undefined. My life isn't particularly exciting or special. I don't see why anyone
should be too interested in what I have to say, but that's not gonna stop me.
Anyway, here's what I have to say: I'm somewhat pissed off. I got in last night
after a really relaxing hang-out session to find a note reading
*"Go to Hell Jeff"* shoved under my door. I'm not as upset about someone in
these dorms hating me as I am about the fact that somewhere near me lurks a
pitiful coward who lacks the balls to confront me face to face. This person is a
pathetic waste of organic material and a blight upon humanity. At this point,
whoever is responsible for this act of cowardice would be wise to remain in
hiding, because if I ever find out who did it, I WILL undefined
That's all. Thank you for your time.
