just got lost in here for a while... http://bear71.nfb.ca/#/bear71

Jeremy Mendes and Leanne Allison’s poignant interactive documentary about a bear in the Canadian Rockies illuminates the way humans engage with wildlife in the age of networks, satellites, and digital surveillance. Audiences from around the world can use their smartphones to become part of an interactive forest environment rich with bears, cougars, sheep, deer, and people as they follow an emotional story of a grizzly bear tagged and monitored by Banff National Park rangers.

Flash Component STFU Mar 9, 11, 4:22 a.m.

Anyone have any idea how I can stop a 3rd party Flash component from tracing out it's status every frame? It's making debugging most unpleasant.

download page and paths? Feb 22, 11, 4:37 p.m.

hey anybody have any idea how i can download all the linked files on a page (js, css, images), maintaining the site file structure?

we're building some additional static pages for a heavily content managed site and need to keep all the links "absolute relative" (ie.site.com /category /category2 /public_html /style /layout.css). we need to rebuild the directory structure of the entry page (delivered by cms) on the testing server to make sure it all works when it's switched live... i could do it manually, but it's a massive site, so files from different folders all over the place.

What Codec? Jun 15, 09, 9:47 a.m.

...should I ask for 1080p video to be transferred to my FTP? I'll be doing some light editing in Final Cut and exporting for DVD and web.

AVI? It's a 4 minute long promo.

Xerox... Buy or Lease? Jun 3, 09, 7:38 a.m.

We're getting a Xerox 7328. We were going to lease but the accountant is telling us to buy.

The printer was released in April 2007 I have no idea of the life-cycle on this sort of thing... £5600 to buy £111p/m to lease, There's also slight saving on click charges if we buy.

Any ideas? Pros/Cons?

Is the country code +001? or +00?

Sites with Vertical Menus? Feb 16, 09, 2:24 a.m.

A client has sent me wireframes with a menu running vertically (the majority of their competitors shitty websites have 'em)...

I'm going to mock up horizontal and vertical menus for them but It seems the latter is a dying breed... any decent examples? (preferably with expandable sub-menus).

Freelance to SME? Feb 11, 09, 5:28 a.m.

While I'm technically freelance (designer/ developer), the majority of my work in the last year has come from two local entrepreneurs. I also work part-time from one of their offices.

We just landed some investment in a large social media project, and we'll be forming a new company to handle the codebase/IP. We looked at some sweet premises this morning, I've been asked to name my salary and I'm in the process of getting a development team together.

I'm not putting anything in myself other than a small codebase but I'd like to maintain some control over the work that we take on and obviously not get left behind if things take off... What should I be looking for in terms of a share of the company? An other assurances I should be looking for?

Any ideas how I can convert a SWF to a bitmap sequence on a mac? Google is bringing up nothing but Windows shareware nonsense.

Cocaine... Oct 6, 08, 3:51 p.m.

Has anybody got any photos of cocaine (in a pile or in lines) on a dark surface? Checked iStock, You Work for Them, flickr.

Clocks on Websites Sep 12, 08, 5:58 a.m.

Not usually a fan of clocks on websites but the wee one on the BBC homepage may have just won me over.
