An actual VM update, of sorts...

I'm tired, so this is going to be short! An actual VM update....sort of, it's a pinup. And YES, I understand the hand issue-but whatever, I'm tired, and quite frankly don't care. Ok?

As I've been working on websites-one freelance, one for my actual job, I noticed a huge issue with the new Adobe CS3 Dreamweaver (or Dreamweaver 9). For some reason, the Javascript that is written into Dreamweaver, when you embed a flash movie into it, does not work on almost every single browser. I've yet to figure this out. But, when I took the code that the Macromedia Version 8 uses when embedding Flash movies into Dreamweaver 8, the site works fine. The main issue is really Internet Explorer, which seems to hate everything flash, and after doing some digging online, I discovered that you can overwrite the code (and it's recommended to do so anyways instead of using the default code Dreamweaver chucks out.) It does annoy me that on a new advanced "Design Premium" suite that is supposed to facilitate the migration of files and interworking between Illustrator, Photoshop, Bridge, InDesign, Dreamweaver, and Flash, that the whole reason behind flash (to make movies that embed into HTML sheets) pretty much grinds to a complete and utter halt upon reaching embedding Flash movies into Dreamweaver. And I know you can turn it into a java SWF object and blah blah blah, but I think that this new software should have come ready to go! Simplify instead of embedding and running back over the code to either alter the javascript or remove it altogether. How annoying. I don't have to do that in Flash 8. I love you Flash and Dreamweaver 8. I miss you Macromedia and your simplicity. Sigh.

PS. Loved the new Harry Potter. Just had to share.

A break.....Natsuyasumi as such...

Yeahhhh...I have to take a break from updating my webcomic on Girlamatic. Unfortunately, outside circumstances as they are (meaning actually paying work), has been hindering my progress on pages.

So, I'll be off until August 15th, and I'll hopefully be back to updating on a consistent basis, because there is so much to the story that I want to tell! It's in my brain...leaking out of my ears! I just can't get it on paper and colored fast enough!

Well, that's that. now to work on some logos and a website.

Taking Page 3, Death and Hamlet

Wow...I'm late again...I'm soooo lame. I've just been trying to work out a new schedule where I have to wake up now 2 hours earlier than I did before on the weekdays, and I'm back to commuting. *sigh*. Los Angeles, people. Doesn't get much better than that.
Ever notice how when things go wrong, they all go wrong at the same time? My fiancee's car suddenly broke down, so we're down a full car, and now we have to buy another one (rather than fix the car he has, it's older, and isn't really worth the investment.), and then the refrigerator broke down today, requiring a rather hasty trip to Best Buy and a refrigerator purchase. Thank goodness they deliver on weekends. My finacee was saying his coworkers were telling him Mercury was in retrograde, and to be wary of all electronic appliances. I don't really believe that, but I've never had two large electronic items go down in the same week. Frustrating!!! Plus, my cell phone has decided to work when it wants to, and sometimes not. Grrrr...
Oi, I'm up late. I better go to bed so I can wake up to go do some car shopping tomorrow. (Ick).
Then, back to work, back to work. Weekends are too short, I tell ya.
