So I decided a long time ago that if I was going to have birthday blues that I should do it in a room full of naked women

After I hit 30 birthdays became such a non-event for me. I came to the realisation that life goes on, years fly by and stopping too often to try and take stock and evaluate what has passed can get out of control... And bum the living shit out of you. I'd rather take stock in what is yet to come and deal with the future - which just gets to be more fun each year!

Besides, you'd better live it up now - its all gonna end in 2012...

Prejudice, regardless of its apparent cause or motive, stems from fear and ignorance, oft one more than the other, and oft enough in equal parts.

You can quote me on that.

call me a design dork but this was bloody funny!

The publishing options in flash do, currently, give you an option to include all text and links used in the flash as block of commented html code.

So in theory, all they've got to do on the spider/robot side of things is check to see if the page is setup to display flash, and if so, then parse whatever html comments it finds and use that for its entries.

But they're making it sound like they're actually setting up to process the swf remotely, and scan IT for urls and text... If that's the case, I've got the feeling they'll be an whole new rash of "spider/bot spoofing" via hidden and unused pages of flash content...

As a flash developer, this will be interesting to see how it pans out!

Well you can put me on record as a fan of flexible layouts. Things like YAML and 960 make working with them almost fun! I'd seen that article as well and agree a lot with the author - you don't want people adapting their use of your site to way their browser works, you want your site to adapt to the ways people use their browsers.

I'd imagine he'll continue to pimp for Stride gum... ;)

Ah - Zooey... And I'm with you on Christina, Ozone - her forhead scares me too!

what can I say... I've a weakness for hot, messy women!

Well I'm a fan of shooters and and even BIGGER fan of MMOs - I've been a beta tester for most of them, and play a few regularly. I think its a rule of the industry that for every 5 people who love the game, there are 5 that hate is just as strongly - these two sides just take turns being the loudest in the ear of the developers! Sometimes, it can get out of hand like Star Wars: Galaxies did, and the developers cave in.

I'm with you Oli:

I like expensive graphics cards, 10krpm HDs, RAID arrays, tons of RAM and most of all, I like to be able to rip stuff out and put new stuff in. With consoles, even Macs to some extent, this just doesn't factor in at all.

And I think developments do cross-pollenate often enough. Video strides made recently with new chipsets and configurations from Nvidia into the handheld market will have repercussions, bleeding its way into consoles and other areas.

I think both markets are solid, they just each have their different ups and downs, which always seem to correlate somehow: pc's at a low when consoles are riding high and such.

No? Watch "Fight Club" again... It will click for you...

RIP you grouchy, crotchety, grumpy old bastard you! Miss you already!

Yeah, Kate has always been a favorite... wasn't sure about adding her, and my list is in no real order... she could be swapped with Shannyn Sossamon...

I AM old school.

gmail tho I don't use it as much as I used to... and I find del.icio.us to be endlessly handy...

backpackit is beyond handy - them crafty buggers at 37signals know a thing or two...

everything else (like twitter) I can take or leave, to be honest...

What about something regarding cross-posting over several of the sites, even if it's not relevant to the site in question, unless the sites have a built-in method to perfom cross-posting such as tagging for use in other sites.

Oh that and using sentences that never seem to end and just drone on and on lacking the most rudimentary use of punctuation and grammar.

I use a laptop as a secondary box at work, and I tend to run two systems at the house - one for gaming and one for work/communications. I do tend to fire up the laptop there from time to time as well...

getting to this late, but my second is on the right, both at home and at work - just makes the most sense to me...

I like php because its easy enough to work with and is plenty flexible for most everything I need it to do.

Yeah, I admit it, I'm old school.

I've always felt that they were two different skillsets... Mostly because art is subjective. You may see a painting and think its art, someone else thinks its crap. I've heard lots of discussion in the past about digital art as well. So just because I may see it, that doesn't mean everyone sees art in pixels.

That being said, Knowing and understanding design can certainly lead to the creation of visual art. And if we're talking about "web design", which to me is the proper execution of code in an effective and efficient manner to produce the desired visual outcome - that can be an art unto itself!

You can have my XP when you pry it from my cold, dead hands! Although I'd be willing to try Vista on my gaming box in the near future...

I use FF daily (firebug FTW!) and check for cross-browser issues on IE7... I'm unmacable so safari can eat it...

There is another way... Nifty!

1024x768 due to the greater influx of "widescreen" formats on new LCDs shipping with computers these days... Although I prefer working in 1280x1024 myself, I try to test whatever I do in as many formats in both IE and FF when possible!

Yes I do and YES you should - CSS creates far more flexability and accessability than any other tool in a developer's toolkit...

ambient, low-key - somafm is a great site to have something playing off of, or I'll pop in some Dead Can Dance or Cocteau Twins...

itching to use mootools - have been reading lots of good stuff about it.

I'm a big fan of eclipse with the PHP addons, but I also REALLY like PS Pad. Lightweight and yet it covers all the bases for formatting and colorcoding that I need!
