@drisgill @adammac I was with him, the “sale” price was still redonkulously expensive!
@drisgill redonkulous is relative ;)
Redonkulous = about a month’s worth of groceries

Stuck
For the past 5 or 6 episodes, Amir has been consistently outdoing himself. This video must be the plateau; I can’t imagine him getting crazier.

SWFAddress - Deep Linking for Flash and AJAX →
Ok, I’m way too excited to implement this on the new website Adam & I created for my dad’s restaurant.
For stylistic reasons, we decided to go all-Flash. Not something I usually recommend, but using SWFObject to load the new Flash content over the old site (disable JavaScript before viewing to see what the site used to look like) will take care of any SEO woes.
And now that...

Fun with Google's code search →
One of my favorite ways to calm down after a particularly harrowing wrestling session with code (usually someone else’s), is to use Google’s code search to look up expletives and other phrases of resigned exasperation.

“Storing colors as decimal… how metropoliton of Powerpoint”

Second AS3 Snippet of the day...
A coworker and I drove ourselves halfway to insanity trying to figure out why the number Powerpoint was spitting out as a color wasn’t translating correctly when we used it in Flash.
I vaguely remembered something about the number being a decimal representation of the RGB values instead of the hex values, so after much Googling and translating from VB to AS3, I give you:

Russian Peasant Multiplication →
The comments-thread on that post is already 579 deep, so I figured I’d post my very simple, no-frills AS3 solution here:
function russianMult(a:int, b:int):int {
var sum:int = a%2 != 0 ? b : 0;
while(Math.floor(a/2) > 0){
a = Math.floor(a/2);
b *= 2;
if(a % 2 != 0) sum += b;
}
return sum;

We shall live long and prosper
Arrived at the office wearing a red shirt. New programmer is also wearing a red shirt. Boss came in shortly after; he, too, is wearing a red shirt.
Not one of us will be volunteering for an away mission today.

Using D.eval for Actionscript Evaluation in Flash... →
D.eval rocks my socks.
I’d always been annoyed with the fact that ActionScript doesn’t let you do stuff like eval(a + ” + ” + b + ” * ” + c + ” / “+ d); the way JavaScript does.

This is going to bother me for a while
So I’ve been steadily making my way through the Sookie Stackhouse books in audio book format. I started the series on June 19th, and now less than a month later, I’m on book seven—All Together Dead.
I absolutely love the books, but there’s something that’s been bothering me since book five—Dead as a Doornail: it’s established that Claudine is a fairy and...

It’s only upon recovering from the near accident that occurs every time I see a beige Toyota Camry do I remember you no longer drive that car.
Love this because it reminds me of “The Jeep Song” by The Dresden Dolls.

i want an elderly italian woman to mysteriously appear on my doorstep and inform me that she is here to show me my destiny and whisk me away to a remote, tiny village in italy where i’ll be taught to chop and sautee and whisk and cook, and after a montage of me in struggling in the kitchen (set to either the rocky theme or the godfather theme, i haven’t decided), i will one day emerge...
