One of the delightful new features of Flash MX 2004 is that sometimes it refuses to save all of a file. Says things are OK, gives no errors, but doesn't actually do anything. I keep opening files to find they're old version, with several hours worth of work lost.

I think I'm going to have to start hitting CTRL-S like six or seven times every minute.

God I hate this software. Every step forward is two steps back, and their IDE sucks so hard that they actually SUGGEST you use an external program like EditPad to deal with actionScript.

The only thing buggier is Java. :-P

Kazaa.

Oh, look. Kazaa wants to make up with the RIAA and the record companies, hold hands, and sing "We Are The World".

Coupling taping

I went to a Coupling taping yesterday. I'd never been to a TV taping before, so it was kinda cool to see how it's done and all that. The only problem is that the audience warmer SUCKED. His job is to keep the audience entertained between takes and during set-ups and stuff. His overall plan seemed to be to systematically offend the entire audience. He kept asking where people were visiting from, and then he'd make fun of their people. He asked the people from Israel if they had gone to some deli in LA. He did an Apu-style accent to talk about the Indian people. I almost felt bad for him. Almost. The plus side was that it seems that if I can't work with my CSC degree, the standards for audience warmers isn't very high so maybe I could do that.

Oh, and also among the most annoyed in the audience was Anthony Michael Hall or, as Katie now calls him, Tony Mike.

I'll be in SLO Sunday, Monday...

I'm helping to recruit for my company. So if anyone wants to hit the tech fair on Monday in SLO, that's where I'll be. =)
