As Far As I Can Tell


Today I took Meredith to get her car fixed at the transmission place. It was super cold this morning, so I wasn�t too surprised when my truck started up hard. It wouldn�t start at all though when we went to leave the repair place.

I got a jump start, but on the way home it totally died�shaking, radio turning off…dead battery. To think, I�ve been considering my truck a starting genius since it has a new alternator.

This is miserable weather to not have a car in.

Macromedia officially announced Flash MX today. First of all, the name is dumb in my opinion. I�m a steadfast supporter of numerical version numbers, and think that this is a marketing ploy designed to trick people into thinking their getting something different. I�m guessing that it stands for �Macromedia eXperience�, following in the footsteps of Microsoft.

Fortunately, the name is the only thing I have a problem with. For the last hour I�ve been shrugging off car troubles and actual work to read all about the new Flash. It fixes nearly everything that was wrong with Flash 5, and adds all the little things I�ve been wanting. For god�s sake, you can script text fields and masks�what more could I ask for.
