These are few luxuries that I have just been treated with the new PrimalScript 3.1 and you will love it too. The only regret I have now is “Why haven’t I gone shopping for my shoes before?” At this moment, I am still to get used to using it for (x)HTML, PHP and other scripts. I tend to find myself a bit intrigue with the tags in it; there should be a better way for me to control that!

There is a huge difference being a developer and being an instructor. Being a developer, you can concentrate on only the area where you are dealing with, good at and what is needed. As a developer, I never needed to use behaviors in Flash MX 2004. But then as an instructor, I have to teach those techniques too. Today, I …

The Indian theatres were ready to Kill Bill (script) at last on August 20th, 2004. The next day, I with a friend, actually were set out to watch Shrek 2, we were late for my confirmed but unpaid ticket (booked through SMS at Fun Republic) and so we ended up seeing Black Mamba aka The Bride aka Mommy aka Kiddo (Uma Thurman) killed Bill (David Carradine) of the “Deadly Viper Assassination Squad”.

Every class is compiled into a swf in the same way that we used to include AS1 classes, by putting them inside an #initclip block of a linked movieclip. The linkage name of the movieclip is __Packages followed by the full package and class name.

I, Robot was recently released across India on August 13, 2004. The DVD will take a bit more time to hit the market, well for sure my dealer will inform me of the same. The wet monsoon and the tight-ticket counter at the weekends drove my instinct to try today instead of facing the crowd during its release day. Well, to me it is a nice movie, good treat to escape from your work.
Chicago, in the year 2035, Del Spooner (Will Smith) does the action very well without really doing any robotic twist and turns with his body, no hard faced look even though the whole of his left hand is a totally replaced mechanical part from USR. Neverthless, he is one hell of a good driver, the movie finds satisfaction in showing that off about three times, 2 manual drive on his car and one on his bike on the super fast expressway.

I just upgraded to Service Pack 2 on my Windows XP Professional Box and when logged in back after a successful installation, suddenly the Flash Interface I was working on is no longer displayed. IE 6.0 told me that it had blocked the content (Active X) “to help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options…”

Why do God become greedy at times? Why does He want good people to be by his side sooner than they should be? The shocking news hit me, Ashna passes away. I wished, I never come to know of this and that the ‘anticipated IM Alert’ should lie dormant forever. Ashna, I will miss you for the remaining days to come.

Damn! Why was I never told, taught, tiped that this is possible and modern browsers support ‘em. The oracle of CSS would be laughing at me for learning this late, yes very late. I had missed an online conference today while trying to get my head around to this trivia, “mutltiple classes” in CSS. I have learnt long back that I can have a class piggybag to an ID but what was troubling me was that I wanted to inherit all properties of a particular class and then apply some sparingly used class to few HTML elements (they appear one or twice in a page while the parent class was appearing many times in a page).

Even though spams do not kill you immediately but they are like carcinogens, slow killing poisen that tends to poison the way you work, live and survive on this earth. They are very similar to the worst pests that should be killed, hanged, smashed, shredded, beaten to death and removed off the face of this earth immediately.
