alternative to phpList (or, what enews software?) Mar 19, 08, 7:44 a.m.

So, I've been using phplist on a project for about 2 years, but the past 6 months or so it's been just butt slow and the stat gathering is basically worthless. Anyone have any alternatives? Doesn't matter if it costs money, but it has to be our own solution and not a hosted one like Campaign Monitor or such. Ideas?

CS3 PC -> Mac Jan 13, 08, 9:02 a.m.

Anyone know if it's possible to have Adobe let someone "trade in" their PC version of CS3 for a Mac version? I thought I remember seeing that somewhere but can't seem to find an answer...

onMetaData within class Dec 27, 07, 2:09 p.m.

so, I've used the ns['onMetaData'] function on the timeline to get the duration and such, but how would it be used in a class? (does that even make sense?)

ddr2 speed Dec 11, 07, 9:39 a.m.

so, I've always just went for the deals with regards to computer parts, but I'm wondering if there's a huge benefit to getting ram that matches your mobo and cpu's bus speed? My mobo supports a 800/1066 FSB and my Q6600 has a FSB of 1066, but my ram currently is cheapo 667 stuff. Would it benefit me greatly to get 1066/ddr2 8500 ram, or is it not much of a diff (in more real world stuff, not gaming)?

ebay funny :) Feb 9, 07, 11:38 a.m.

guess it worked.

flash over flash in html? Feb 13, 06, 4:59 p.m.

anyone know of a resource on how to do this in (d)html/javascript? basically, in html, i want to have a div with a flash drop down menu sit over different flash underneath it, but not in the same swf. the html would have to embed 2 swf's.

i've poked around a few tut's on hot to lay flash over html, but nothing so far about flash over flash

mysql updating best practices Aug 21, 07, 12:17 p.m.

would it be ok to have a mysql UPDATE statement within a loop, or is there another way to update multiple rows in sequential order?

fast HD Sep 11, 07, 11:17 a.m.

so, I just booted up my laptop with my external raptor drive instead of the internal one, and holy crap, it almost tripled its speed in starting apps and opening shit. holy crap. never realized what the diff would have been.

weather Feb 11, 03, 10:54 p.m.

ok, so it's almost 1 am here and i just got in from the cold (er, i mean bar...). The weather outside is a bit frigid and i became curious as to what the weather is like elsewhere.

Here it is -29 below zero. Yes, cold. Anyone beat that? anyone want to make me envy you?

the people upstairs Mar 12, 03, 10:32 p.m.

Best concerts(friday topic!) Mar 14, 03, 8:12 a.m.

hey all,
just wanna see what the best concerts that people have ever been to were.
1. Sigur Ros-State theatre, minneapolis... awesome mood, video, etc... blown away
2. Sigur Ros again @ the womens club theatre in minneapolis.. great acoustics, small audience.
3. Jimmy Eat World-first ave, Minneapolis... after all the hype from bleed american died down and they started playing stuff off of clarity again
4. jimmy eat world (see a trend here?) right after sept 11... quiet show, they played their hearts out, but didn't say a word the whole show.
5. Bela Fleck @ the Big top tent thing in Bayfield wi... big red tent on a skihill on the side of lake superior.. fun times.

anyone else?

class project = movies Mar 31, 03, 6:45 p.m.

hey all,
i'm doing a project for a class on how the internet has essentially democratized the production and distribution of movies and visual culture all around...

what i'm trying to find is movies that people have created for internet use only... it also doesn't have to be neccessarily movies though.. just not promo videos for studios or something (things that come to mind that i DON'T want are 2A expansions, BD4D reels, ni9e.com reels, etc...)

any great examples? (not atom films either.. just not my thing)

Online polling favor for ya'll! Apr 16, 03, 12:28 p.m.

Hey all,
I got a favor to ask.... it's kinda stupid but hey...

That's my sis at http://alicepeacock.com and i'm trying to rally some help for her....
Mix101 in Chicago bases a lot of their playlists on online polling from their site http://www.wtmx.com/playlist.php… and uses it to determine what's gonna get on the air.
Well, Alice got a call from her friend in IT hosting Mix101's site and he said that someone from the same block of IP's put in 180 votes against her... there's nothing he can really do about it except tell her, getting her to get all the people she knows to vote!

So yeah, go check her out, listen to 2 of her albums at her site, and vote.... she's really cool, so yeah, i don't see why not!

Dammit! Go vote!

(i feel like she's a political candidate or something;-)

Moving to Chicago Apr 27, 03, 2:29 p.m.

Hey all,
I'm planning on moving to chicago sometime in the end of may and was wondering if anyone knew of a room for rent around then... it could be for just the summer or longer .. i'm not really tied to anything time-wise. I wanna live DT somewhere.. maybe lincoln park, wrigleyville, etc... i'll be working in roger's park.

Any ideas from fellow chicagoans? (or chicagoites... i'm not sure what you like to be called;-)
Something fairly cheap too cause technically it's an internship for a short while.

Last Day Apr 30, 03, 10:39 p.m.

sniff:-(
my internet is getting shut off till i move.
sniff.

why i hate owing a house May 6, 03, 11:28 p.m.

the following are the main reasons why i hate owning a house:

-people upstairs suck
-there is a massive amount of water flowing from somewhere upstairs into my apt and my basement and i can't find the source of it
-water damage comes into effect probably tommorrow morning
-bills bills bills
-all of this on top of an all-nighter project and 18 hour class days

hey all,
we're doing a project for a client that involves taking some raw footage off of a dvd that they provided us .. eventually we'll have to put it back into final cut pro and hopefully (key=hopefully!) it'll come out with little or no quality change when we burn it back onto a dvd...

hey all,
how do you usually come across projects to bid on?

i'm just curious to see if most people get their work by word of mouth or by proposal submits.
