I'm about to embark on a learning exercise. I want to get my head around Flash to see if I can enhance New Metal Army. So I go to the Adobe website and click through to product demos... register (why do I have to register for EVERYTHING) and click on the download trial button... firefox redirects all over the place and then nothing happens! So I try it in Safari... nothing happens.... I give up!

The next day (determined to get somewhere) I run VMWare Fusion, go in to IE and after a million click sounds I start downloading the Mac version of Flash CS3. So I need Windows to download the Mac version...grr

Being a good netizen I decide to file a ticket against the problem:

EUROPEAN ENGLISH! There is no such thing as European English. There is English and American English. One of them is correct, the other is a phonetically correct abomination.

I didn't realise my 30 day trial would be such a trial.

You may have heard of Expelled the movie. It's a movie about how creationist scientists are expelled from the science community for thinking 'outside of the box'.

Well this scientist has an excellent story about how HE was expelled from the queue for the movie... but there is an awesome twist to the tale.

Luckydonkey got hacked yesterday as far as I can see. Somehow the lucky hacker managed to insert a series of links in to one of my blog entries. They created a div with a relative position of -1200, -1200 so it didn't appear when Luckydonkey was browsed.

It did however appear in Google Reader. Stou from http://www.siafoo.net/ noticed the spam and kindly emailed me.

It is completely my fault. I've known that my install of Wordpress was quite old for sometime. This was the kick in the arse I needed to upgrade I guess. So if you are looking at this in a browser you will have noticed it's got the basic WP theme. I'll be bringing my unique design skills back to the internet soon.

Once again thanks to Stou for being a good internet citizen.

edit: you may see a lot of drug adverts on the site for a few days till google sorts itself out!
