Stuff, Stuff, And More Stuff.
Well, yet another post.
I’m trying to catch up with all my homework, and I have just discovered a wonderful thing in the process. This discovery is that if you have a decent amount of late work, that will bump up all of your current work. So, unless you put in a higher amount of time completing both the late work and the new work, you will always have late work. It sucks. So I’ve changed my routine… I’ve finally realized that my PC is a huge distraction, and that avoiding it lets me concentrate more on school work. Right when I get home, I go into the basement, sit on the couch, turn on some music, and drill through my homework for the night. Tonight it kind of sucked, though, because I forgot a text book at school, so I’ll have to go in early tomorrow which I absolutely hate.
I’ve been using Google Docs and Spreadsheets for a bit now, and I have to say it’s quite nice. It saves like every sentence you type, so it’s near impossible to lose things. It allows me to access my docs from both school and home (yes, I know there are many ways of doing it, but this is so convenient). You can upload Openoffice and Word documents and edit them right in your browser, which is cool with computers that don’t have Openoffice or MS Office installed on them. One of the neatest features, however, is that you can add collaborators, who can edit (or just view) your document and you can track who did what to it. It’s neato bandito, and I use it more than Word at school now. Google rocks.
So SwishMax is pretty cool. I know that just Flash is much better, but I just couldn’t get into it. I’ve finally gotten into SwishMax scripting, which has expanded the possibilities of what I can do with it by an enormous amount. The scripting is a ton different from what I’ve learned in the past (basic, HTML, PHP), especially the variables. But it’s still pretty functional, even though it’s highly limiting. When I get this down, though, I’ll actually start trying to implement flash into some of my sites, just ’cause sites with flash are ever so cool.
Well, it’s been nice writing this, but now I must go to bed so I can go into school early tomorrow (yuck).
