Insane job requirements
I think everybody in the general IT business has ran into some pretty crazy job post requirements on their life. I’ve just had one of those moments; I got an email forwarded by a former coworker… and while the company on this job posting doesn’t fall for the obvious choice of asking for more years […]

DOOM 3 GUI scripting tutorials
While I build enough willpower to read Colin Moock’s Essential Actionscript 2.0 and prepare to make the practical jump into AS2 & Flash 7.2, I’ve went back in time and started dealing with an script-like language for user interfaces and interactions… the GUI scripting system for DOOM 3, which gives me memories of coding for […]

It’s alive
Yes, I’ve been really away from the page for quite some time. The reason is, instead of working with Flash on my spare time, I’ve been learning on how to create real game content for the UT2k4 engine. I started it all with a pseudo-mod I created just as en excuse to learn the tools, […]

Firebird gets a new name
The best browser ever changed name again: from Phoenix to Firebird and now to FireFox. At least there’s a new version out, check what’s new.

Now you’re just a name in my little black book
Sometimes the world makes me sad. Once in a while I do check this newsfeed’s comments, and it’s pretty sad to find lots of random spam when I hope to find information or questions on the stuff I’ve posted. After deleting dozens of unwanted messages, I had almost decided to close the comment system when […]

A change of direction
I get it now. I feel kind of stupid for not realizing it before, or for not realizing the whole magnitude of it: Macromedia isn’t on the “web site” tools market anymore; they’re on the distributed application market.

Mozilla Firebird
For some odd reason, I – literally – woke up today and visited mozilla.org to check their latest browser incarnation, Firebird. I had heard a bit about this new browser – most notably Jonas Galvez comments and softwaregod Joel Sposky’s opinnion – but I wasn’t really thrilled to test it. I’ve been a diehard Netscape […]
