Outlook Tasks
I use Outlook for email and because of that I ended up using the Tasks feature which turns out to be pretty damn useful. It is called the To-Do Bar and if you don’t immediately see it you can open it by clicking on View->To-Do Bar. Select “Normal” and make sure the “Task List” is checked in that list. When a work email comes in that needs attending to, I…
What's with LOL
What’s with retards online that add “lol” to everything they say? Do they not know how to talk properly? Are they social outcasts that are identified by their inability to converse with people who can speak the English language? Examples of rediculous timed “lol”s: “We’ll be there at 6PM lol” How was that funny? Did that really make you laugh out loud? “Great tutorial, thanks for your help. lol” And…

The problem: While working on a Papervision3D Flash Project I had a problem where a back button that sits above the 3d canvas and acts as a main navigational item was required to change Events according to where the site was in 3d space at the time. The solution: Everytime I’m about to add a new EventListener to the back button movieclip I call the function “delBB()” and then add…
Don't cache my swf files!
I often have issues where ‘dumb browsers’ cache my published swf files and when they dynamically populate they don’t always update. This is SUPER annoying and I have found a solution. I will demonstrate the technique with a LoadsVars example var nc = Math.floor(random(1000000) / random(1000)); var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); send_lv.sendAndLoad(_root.siteURL+"profile.php?action=showallimages&nc="+nc, result_lv, "POST"); So let me describe what is happening here. The really ‘dumb browsers’ like IE7 in this…
Cave Dwelling, Issues..?
I was reading the Metro London Newspaper today and came across an article entitled “cave dwelling brothers in line to inherit billions”, so as anyone would, I read on. It turns out that there were 2 brothers living homelessly in caves in Hungary while their only sister was in the US. In the meantime their mother had also died but was apparently part of a rich family. When the grandmother…
