Leave Me
Just wanted to share with you all a short film I discovered today, Leave Me, in which a recent widower deals with his grief through his wife's broken digital camera. It's only about five minutes long, but it's absolutely breathtaking.
And... I think there's something in my eye, or something. Where are those tissues? /sniff/ -
Easter Egg Hunting, Gravity Hooking, and Geocachers You Might Know
This afternoon, like last year, we took the opportunity to spend Easter Sunday hiding one another's Easter eggs in the woods and then running around looking for them.
For some reason, this year Rory didn't want me to be responsible for hiding his egg (something to do with his eventually being found up a tree, last … -

Arrow Tag
Here's a fab little Flash game I just discovered: Arrow Tag. I've just won with a time of 14 minutes and 35 seconds. Think you can beat me?

A Town Called Eureka Presents “Troma Night”
Matt made a blog post about a TV series - A Town Called Eureka - which he's been watching. In episode 4 (which has just been broadcast in the UK, two weeks behind the US schedule) several of the characters get together in a cramped space full of technology to watch films, once a week. …

The Mangohol Experiment - Day Two
Flushed with success at my wine-making efforts (which have ranged from "barely drinkable" to "good") over the last few months, I thought I'd turn my hand to fermenting some different kinds of fruits in my spare time. The first of these that I decided to try is mangoes. So, a few mangoes from the greengrocer …

Duality
Duality, my main desktop PC at home, has been misbehaving, and I've had to take it to pieces, both virtually (tracing driver DLL calls - yum!) and physically (computer components littering the floor, etc.). It's been two years since it's last reformat/reinstall, which is a pretty long time for a Windows XP box treated the …

More Flash: “Second Term”
Jon has posted to his blog about "Second Term", JibJab's most recent parody of the American policial system (you'll remember It's Good To Be In D.C. and This Land, which I blogged about earlier). In any case, the versions you'll find on JibJab and Yahoo are surrounded by advertisements and can't easily be resized (hey; …

Flash MX 2004 Data Integration/XML Features
Geeky post.
I've just been playing with the data integration and XML-parsing features offered by the new version of Macromedia Flash (traditionally used for animation on the web, but nowadays used for all kinds of things, like those silly games at Shockwave.com). They're actually quite impressive - here's the result of my fiddling this evening (requires … -
Bug In Internet Explorer… But How Do I Tell Anybody?
This morning, I found a bug in Internet Explorer. I wasn't using it, of course, but I'd sent a Macromedia Flash file to a colleague by e-mail, who opened it in IE, but couldn't.
It turns out that Internet Explorer can't cope with opening Flash (.swf) files from the local file system, if the filename contains … -
