message query for flash

I must have something more interesting to write about than php?

Um, no, perhaps not.I got a new hard drive at last, after all the problems I had with the ibook and having to send it back, I didn't rush into getting another backup job, but I saw a bargain at Maplin Seagate 500GB FreeAgent, and it seems to be worki...

Kosso bigged up on techcrunch

They call him a seesmic.com clone but they like him... I thought phreadz.com was still a secret actually. For the uninitiated, it's like a chat room / message board, but based around your webcam. So many people have them these days that it makes sens...

Wedding video and new jeans

Had a slightly rum Saturday night out but then a lovely Sunday afternoon to follow. Felt a bit queasy on Saturday so although we went out to Folkestone in the day, and had lunch at The Whole World Cafe (felty queasy before we went there, certainly no...

Ooh, Flickr video

I didn't know about this. 90 second limit for your videos though, usually that's enough for funny little bits I've shot myself that I might want to share, like the nieces on their new bikes or Pauline's kitten, I will give this a try later.Update: An...

What editing do Flickr have built in though?

I can only think of rotating, and that's in flash for some reason.

UPDATE: oh yeah I see the picnik editor now.

RE: Photoshop Express

Flickr already does have loads of photo editing software - they did a deal with Piknik late last year and they offer far more than Photoshop Express (in my view). Photoshop Express is just cashing in on the Photoshop brand, trying to pull consumers ...

Ooh get you

and your flash big city living!

Ukelele flashmob

This sounds like it was great, we do miss out on things since we left London. Maybe we will get more cultural action like this when we move to Canterbury. Or maybe we will stay in and watch 24 like we have been doing recently. Just finished series 4,...

Big shout out to Chambers

Thanks for the kind words at the quiz yesterday, which was great. Free drinks and sweets presents for everybody, you can't argue with that.The presents were a pretty funky laser pointer / torch combo for everyone, a santa hat with flashing lights, an...

Bless The Boot

Bless the boot, come on England. Really looking forward to this tomorrow, like every other part time England fan. I would not say we have a chance really, but you never know. Personally I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a food poisoning outbreak at...

It's called a carousel

I think the Flash version was a free download... Originally we were going with a really cool javascript solution but there were problems in Safari I think...Google for free flash carousel download or something......

RE: Show And Stay

Hmmm.

Now that I'm a Flash / Flex developer - how did they do the spinning thing on the front page?

All sounds a bit "non standard" to me

Yeah, the more javascript you get to do the better, but I'm not into flash, like I'm not into .net...Going back to where you used to work is COOL, have you had a step up in pay or is it for enjoyment or some other reason?Hmm, by "non standard" I mean...

RE: You've not been there long have you?

I'm being dull and heading back to the IT consultancy I used to work for. We're going to start providing Rich Internet Application consultancy in conjuction with Adobe Consulting. So it's going to be lots of Flash and Macromedia stuff, a big change f...

Party weekend

Bah, I wrote this out once already and closed the browser by mistake... had kind of a busy week at work, that's got to be a good thing, but it's meant not really any time for writing here in the day time, and some days have seen me concentrating on s...

Not washed away

We have survived yet another natural disaster in Folkestone, flash flooding this time. There was a monstrous storm last night, a little bit frightening, but no damage here.

Lost / Red Dwarf crossover

Ha, in series one, episode five of Lost apparently Charlie says that he can't swim. This is not a continuity error, this is PROOF that they are not really on an island, they're really in a virtual reality game on board Red Dwarf.A fairly poor episode...

Sleep easy families of South London

This gun crime problem among your children is surely close to resolution - BBC Breakfast today had the UK's least famous man Richard Blackwood in to give his point of view. I can only assume they had a real guest lined up who pulled out at the last m...

Tour de France

You may have heard it's coming to England, here's the route map. It's taking in Tunbridge Wells, Ashford and Canterbury, but no Folkestone......

Spamalot

Spamalot was quite good, not brilliant, best bit for me was seeing Tim Curry in the lead role. It's all the same story / jokes as the film.Went to The Three Greyhounds before the show, very good, small but nice old pub style pub. Four real ales on an...

Number one result for "Habitat Radius"

Was just trying to find the furniture we bought at the weekend, and all the top results are me, how strange. It's down to Habitat's website being quite bad, the whole flash interface makes it hard to index, so my pages are coming up top. ANYWAY, here...

It's just a short contract

I'll make the site flash and make a noise when I get something permanent... it is a game, but not for a game company, for an agency. Will report back when it goes live!

Return of the IPAQ

Since bringing my IPAQ back to life, I've been trying to load it up with content, looking for podcast type software to populate it with free contentdel.icio.us avi feed, I wonder has someone already hacked together a youtube feed with attachments? Lo...

Next time...

If you got 'most' of them, you could try Convars Recovery proggy to get the rest back. It's freeware & does the business,

RE: Copy cat

Data recovery from flash cards works a treat, I got my card off ebay and used the recovery tool that came with it to see the previous owner's pics (sadly, nothing interesting).

No, really dancing...

I was loitering in Debenhams doorway on Saturday, waiting for the wife who was inside, when there was a spontaneous outburst of dancing in the street. It was promoting some dance classes going on at the Pavillion. If that video's not embedded in this...

RE: I think it's not cheap

naw, youd be right there. We had a couple of the flash G5 workstations at my previous works. Actually we have a couple of hundred at the new place. any way. hardware for them is not cheap, and neither is software. There is a fair bit of open source a...

Mobile game reviews

Might do some work for a Mobile gaming company, not a company that actually makes mobile games, but a company that has a site that writes mobile game reviews and has mobile phone game news and things. Not much of a mobile gamer myself and might not e...

NME Brats show, lovely write up: [quote]Flash forward a few years to the Beta Band in January 2000, at an NME Brats show. I don't really remember much, other than that I was with a big group of my gigging mates in the upstairs bit, we were all trolle...
