Working...
I know I've been lax with the blogging and e-mail replies lately, and I apologize. I suck. I know.
The reason why has pretty much been work. I've been at the new job for a little over three months now and it's getting quite busy. I've got much less time for slacking off and one fewer "weekend" day to catch up since I work five days a week now.
But the new job is good. Not exactly what I expected, but what new job is, huh? :) One of the fun things I'm doing, though, is learning Flash. Not any formal training yet, but today I went through an older version's Dummies book and managed to cobble together my very first flash movie. You can click here to see it (turn off the looping!).
It's far from perfect, but I don't think it's too bad for the first flash thing I've ever done. I've already got some ideas for what I can do next. I'm getting some training on Friday, so I'll see what I can do after that.
So, sorry about the lack of communication, but the job is taking up a lot of my time, one way or another!
Edited to add: I don't know why the movie is acting all weird. Probably something I'll figure out when I get some actual training! Right click on the movie and you'll get a context menu that'll let you play it.

I could not view the movie, saw the words "as a clam" and the sun and pink (clams?), but it was all to the left and I don't know what"turn off looping" means-sorry.
I was thinking about you last night and figured the new job had ya super busy and, from past years recall that your weekends are super busy at home.
I miss your posts, but am happy you are happy.
Well, THAT was cool! I could see your movie, and was able to "uncheck" the "loop" feature by right-clicking the movie. I envy you taking the Flash class. You'll have to show me how to do it. BTW--I just got Photoshop CS3 extended version :-) Wish I knew how to use all the features! I've been pokey, too, with my posts. And it's not going to get much better once I buckle down and start preparing my courses for the fall semester.
