(Running flash mx04 on winxp,sp3) These crashes are driving me mental! Sounds like the CS3 version is even worse. kind regards, michael 2008-10-14T03:45:52.912+02:00 2008-10-14T03:45:52.912+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mickleberry&conv=438107&comment_id=31958197 mickleberry Great article, and thanks @#174 arlen smith for your sensible commentary .. the only person to mention Dual Pane file management. This is something that Neither windows nor mac have built in natively .. and both should consider. All the hassle around drag / drop vs copy / paste just dissolves when you use a dual pane file manager (for example Xplorer2 by zabkat.com Just put two folders next to each other (in a single application window), and you can choose whether to drag, paste .. or even use a single (copy/paste) shortcut eg ctrl+F6. Wildly obvious, once you get the picture. i'd feel a whole lot better about switching to a mac if i knew there was an equivalent to Xplorer2 .. or if this was built into the Finder. Most windows users have no idea about the enormous benefits from such an application .. and this is something they have in common with most apple users. Knock each other out ;-] kind regards, michael 2008-10-13T07:34:30.990+02:00 2008-10-13T07:34:30.990+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mickleberry&conv=1764777&comment_id=31071856 Michael Chalk George i think it's amazing that you're attempting such a massive course, and i'm excited to be a part of it. Also heartening that the leader admits to feeling overwhelmed too ;-] Am fascinated to see how things unfold. Best of luck and kind regards, michael 2008-09-13T07:45:59.630+02:00 2008-09-13T07:45:59.630+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mickleberry&conv=1481572&comment_id=29971388 michael chalk Whoops sorry mr K, realise now i mis-read the story behind your words script .. krazydad was the inspiration for your amazing work. Thrilled to see you've got it back online. Thank you so much. kind regards, michael 2008-08-04T09:23:02.418+02:00 2008-08-04T09:23:02.418+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mickleberry&conv=1481572&comment_id=28418835 michael chalk hello mr kastner. i am a big fan of your work (you're aka krazydad aren't you?) Been trying to use your very fabulous 'spell with flickr' app, but seems to be down. Sorry to hear you're having trouble with nasty attackers. Hope things return to normal very soon, and you get them thoroughly out of your hair. kind regards, michael 2008-07-07T06:09:51.755+02:00 2008-07-07T06:09:51.755+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mickleberry&conv=1470089&comment_id=28203222 michael chalk Thanks Sue, brilliant as always. What about the wordpress plugin known as 'photodropper'? It's not perfect, but it's terrific for beginners. Search from within your wordpress posting page .. automatically links to original picture and adds license detail. (Does edublogs have this one switched on?) kind regards, michael 2008-06-30T09:15:14.591+02:00 2008-06-30T09:15:14.591+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mickleberry&conv=1453549&comment_id=27902349 michael chalk Hello Sue, i live in a cold house in Melbourne, and my strategy has always involved: a beanie, thermal underwear, one of those zip-up camping vests, and thick thick socks. If you have a fireplace, chopping wood is one of the best ways to get warm (don't even burn it, just rug up and chop). Recently i've discovered the delights of not having a computer at home. Great way to stay cold is sit at the screen all day and all night. Alternative: lots of brisk walking, yoga or dance class, plenty of outdoor air; early nights, thick soups and lots of sleep before midnight. Physical activity = warmth. Plus, have a spare towel over the heater while you shower. Gotta keep your towels dry and warm :) (In Canada they use that amazing Cling Wrap stuff over the windows, to seal in the air. But in Canada they have Real Cold.) best of luck, michael 2008-06-23T04:05:03.578+02:00 2008-06-23T04:05:03.578+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mickleberry&conv=1409691&comment_id=26881565 michael chalk Interesting discussion, and one that's worth having. Trust and identity are crucial issues in online relationship. Thanks for your post Sue, and your disclosures. i do think Stephen made a good point initially, but i also agree with you .. that if you're giving away the computer, it's not payment for you. kind regards, michael 2008-05-29T06:29:48.088+02:00 2008-05-29T06:29:48.088+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mickleberry&conv=1387263&comment_id=26543922 michael chalk Thanks Sue for your strong opinions ;-] i have a personal blog with google/blogger, and recently i've turned on the comment moderation, because all i'm getting in the way of comments is ads from registered google users (spam really, but individually keyed in). (You can allow anonymous comments under the blogger umbrella, i'm sure .. and haven't they just upgraded to allow OpenID as well?) With my work-related blog, i use wordpress, so the spam protection is much stronger. Still i've never had enough comments to need moderation. And i'm such a half-hearted blogger anyway. i agree with Diane about the RSS feed for comments .. you can delete pseudo-spam that gets through .. but it remains in the feed. Very thought-provoking post, the issues have plenty of grey shades. (and yes, i am planning to switch to wordpress, and halve the number of neglected blogs.) thanks, michael 2008-05-12T11:10:05.191+02:00 2008-05-12T11:10:05.191+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mickleberry&conv=1361080&comment_id=26266730 michael chalk texting a test for testi test 2008-04-30T06:07:12.783+02:00 2008-04-30T06:07:12.783+02:00
