  • Flash Burnin Effect

    This is for a flash action script 2.0 file.
    requires: http://laco.wz.cz/tween/to be installed to function
    Note some aspects of this code:
    – dynamically loads a directory full of images (jpgs specifically)
    – fade aspects are definable.
    – recursive function for looping through images.
    – just a setInterval for the master loop. (more…)

  • Cool

    cheat sheets
    Nanotechnology kills cancer cells Carbon nanotubes, binded with proteins to lock onto receptors that are cancer specific. Insert a few thousand of these, and add near Infrared light to them, and the nanotubes heat up, killing the cell.

  • GM Ford Chrysler Employee Discount pricing

    Unless your buying it straight out, it’s was better to buy it last week, than this.
    It’s funny, since Ford and Chrysler were both offering Employee discounts to the general public, GM had to follow suit, or risk losing even more money.
    Before (After):
    Interest rate 0.9% (3.9%)
    Residual Value 38% (36%) @ 48 months
    damn the fine print. 🙂
    Also, as of friday, GM stopped the petro gas money incentive. Don’t forget another $500 off with the gas card.
    The new price is $17,633 @ 3.9% x 48 months = $20,604.70. While the old price is $19,795 @ 0.9% x 48 months = $20,520.33
    So unless you’re buying, you’re actually better off with the old program.
    The difference of $84.37 just in interest alone. Now add that gass difference. $584.37
    So, now… lets look at that fun stuff.

  • bash alias scripts

    I started to use computers since MS-Dos 3.1 days… earlier if you include load "*",8 for the commodore 64 to load games when I was 4 yrs old (maybe younger)
    I’ve been struggling with linux for a little bit. Without google, I’d be lost.
    But for those commands, that you’re so used to… like copy, move, and stuff, I’ve had to create aliases to make the transition easier.
    What’s thrown into my “~/.bashrc” file.
    alias cls='clear'
    alias del='rm'
    alias dir='ls'
    alias e2w='sudo cp /usr/local/emc/generic.ini ~/gcode/generic.ini'
    alias eg='sudo nano /usr/local/emc/generic.ini'
    alias emc='/usr/local/emc/generic.run'
    alias ls='ls -Ail --color=always'
    alias w2e='sudo cp ~/gcode/generic.ini /usr/local/emc/generic.ini'
    alias untar='tar -xvzf'

  • Privacy WP-plug

    Well, looking and seeking for a plugin to do what I want, has been a time waster for the most part.
    I think I’ll take two plugins that I’ve seen kicking around, and modify them both, (giving credit where credit is due), and forging a new plugin that lots of people are looking for. (more…)

  • Learning guitar

    Ja and Matt are attempting to teach me how to play the guitar.
    They forewarned that playing will lead to calluses on your finger tips. And are they right. I’ve got a blister on my left index finger.
    Though, the two little rifts they taught me did stick in my head. But I think they actually taught me three… I can’t remember the first one. It was a little more complicated. heh.

  • Simple pleasures in life

    Yesterday was such a beautiful day.
    I accomplished so much in the span of the day.
    Had good food, panzerroties from the local pizzeria and grilled chicken on a greek salad.
    Sat in the sun, smoked a good cuban cigar, having some fine jamacian rum and vanilla coke while read a book by Philip K Dick – The Minority Report.
    The Minority Report, is just one of the short stories that are in that book. It’s a compilation of serveral short stories.
    After all that lounging I decided to wash my car and driveway.
    That got me in a productive mood, so sat down and nearly finished writing the adminsitration backend for my client. Just need to tweak a few things, and all should be good.
    All in all, a very productive day. Hope the rest of summer can be like this.
