Observations of a Slightly Sane Person

Saturday evening, I was tinkering around with Sothink SWF Quicker, making some progress in creating a mock-up version of a game I’m developing for school.
But, you know, the trial ran out, and even though I had a “totally legal” key for it, I figured, what the hell, if I’m going to be “totally legal”, I might as well go all the way and “purchase” Flash CS3 Professional.

Flash CS3 Professional works with ActionScript 3.0.

Sothink SWF Quicker 2.6 works with ActionScript 2.0.

The two, APPARANTLY, aren’t exactly compatible.
They’re compatible in the sense that Flash will TELL you that the code you just wrote is superawesomecorrect, but it won’t work, because it isn’t backwards-compatible.

And we’re talking bullshit like this:

//ActionScript 2.0
_root.quality = "LOW";

//ActionScript 3.0
stage.quality = StageQuality.LOW;

Fuck you Adobe.
That shit is unnecessarily fucking evil.

That took me over a half hour to Google by the way.

As a side note: you might as well get Flash, because Sothink SWF Quicker looks the EXACT. GODDAMN. SAME.

I need to get this whole blog thing going again.
Henceforth!
New regime!
Blog for 15 minutes a day!

Yesterday the GF came over, I cooked her some vegetarian spaghetti, which was really tasty except I let the spaghetti overboil again, which makes it stick to the pan.
Dammit!

This morning I overslept sort of kinda, woke up at 11 instead of 8, but it was okay, I just needed to go to my dad for the weekend.

Speaking of which, what is up with everybody dissing the NS (National Railways, basically the company you blame when trains aren’t on time.)?
Dutchlantis has one of the most packed infrastructures IN DA WORLD.
They handle a million and a bit passengers a day!
Ofcourse there are going to be delays sometimes, but they’re doing a good job!

But that’s just my opinion, I only take the train on weekends to go to my dad.

I’ve more or less decided to do my final project thing for school in Flash.
ActionScript is absolutely gay, but I’m loving generated graphics.

Hmmmmmmm bezier curves, they almost make me forget how much I suck at graphics.
Almost.

And those were my 15 minutes for today. \o/

Have a great weekend, non-existing readerbase.
