Just A Bunch Of Monkeys…

June 14th, 2007

I think it’s an unwritten rule for the r’n'r to remain largely apolitical (although you can admit the humor is what you keep coming back for), however tonight’s an exception. The G8 leaders pledged aid to Africa. Now they’re doing the “oh, um, you mean actual money?” dance. This would be enough for the tinfoil hat crowd to point and cry “corruption!” however these leaders are elected by the people. They represent us.

Did anyone here say go back on your word?

Hope not, or you gotta answer to Geldof and the B. (And like them, I’m starting to get a little angry…)

When Everybody Hates You

June 7th, 2007

Last weekend, about 10,000 people pointed and laughed at Paris Hilton because she was heading to jail. Now everyone knows it’s wrong to point and laugh at the less fortunate. But somehow if they’re an airhead and a wannabe celebrity, it’s alright.

Check the clip at the end, even Nicholson is raising his eyebrows.

P.S. Jack with a bottle of water? My oh my how times have changed…

Flash Mac Projector title bar bug

May 24th, 2007

Using fscommand(”fullscreen”, “true”) to make Flash Projectors go fullscreen on a Mac sometimes (read 90% of the time) erroneously displays the application titlebar. “But it’s fullscreen” I hear you cry, “There shouldn’t *be* a titlebar!!”. Yes. I know. This is a known bug from Adobe, but is still present in CS3 (yay progress!).

The workaround* is inelegant and has eluded me for some time. No longer. I post for your edification:

make a 3 frame movie:
On frame 1, put fscommand("fullscreen", "true");
On frame 2, put fscommand("fullscreen", "false");
On frame 3, put fscommand("fullscreen", "true");

I hope that no one else must suffer this frustrating bug.

* thanks to jkufrin
