The problem with an all flash site is that google can't index flash. In fact it can't index javascript/AJAX generated content either. Google indexing is rather important to businesses, so an all flash site is kind of out of the question.

Best of luck. Remember, all of genetics can be summed up as C bonds to G and A bonds to T. It all follows logically from there.

Or something.

I have to teach genetics to a grade 4 English-as-a-second-language class at 4:00 today and that's a little intimidating. Wish me luck!

if you haven't' seen it yet, seriously

Wow. Good to see the Oilers end their losing streak while I was out of town. Now with the call up of Sebastien Bisaillon we can finally break our winless streak, forget this embarrassing post-Smyth slip up, and pat our coaching staff on the pack with a "Better luck next year!".

pffff. Flash??

Thank god for flash, one day when I make that Grand Arms site it's going to be a cakewalk or not.

Pfft... why bother with flash at all at that point, then? I can just use PHP to dynamically generate images and spit out one giant image for every page. No muss, no fuss. Of course, it's so fucking obvious! Why have I wasted my time learning actual HTML/CSS design at all?? Thanks for the inspiration, face!

(And, gee, alison, haven't you heard? Flash cures all your ills. One-stop shopping -- it'll fix you right up, good as new.)

1. Why doesn't Internet Explorer anti-alias its fonts??

FLASH handles anti-aliasing of both fonts and vectors.

Why can't IE handle my .pngs properly? How else are you supposed to get translucent images without resorting to hack-y alpha-filter CSS?

As of version 8, Flash can handle .pngs. You can also apply alpha layering to objects.


Why does IE display Microsoft's own fonts (eg. trebuchet ms) like shit? Can't they even handle render their own work properly?

With Flash, what you see is what you get.


Why does WinXP SP2 intermittently start a five-minute restart-timer when it has an update to install? I do some work on another machine for 10 minutes and hear a shutdown sound for no good fucking reason.

Flash doesn't (usually) fuck up your machine or make it do stupid shit. Though bad programming (like infinite iterations) can obviously make up for its relative stability.


Why does the time required to design a website double once you add that "test it in IE" step??

The .swf format is compliant with any browser on any OS that has the necessary flash plug-in installed. Installing Flash is easy and market penetration is MUCH higher than either Shockwave or Java.



Why does all of this make me so fucking angry????

YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.




Man, Flash makes my life much simpler. I don't envy you.

wait, what...? You're tired because you've been sleeping a lot lately? Come again? Am I missing something?
