well when you're a user of the site and you know how to use it it's very fast to navigate.. i know the intro takes some time but we have to find a way to load on slow modems..
now if you click login you can use void/void as userid/password and boing voila!.. you're ready to use all the member functions..
of course there's not much content.. it's more an application than a site..
i have been a flash evangelist for a long time now ever since i decided it was impossible to use javascript to make advanced sites..
if you wish to check the site i worked on the last months it's all in flash because we wanted to really give the users the feeling that it was an application more than a traditional site (which it is)..
a couple of months ago the rebol site announced that version 2.0 of morpheus would be based on their language and i thought it was very interesting and i have seen no one mention it since!..
michael robertson has a comment on december 10th
and then all comments are from a user called "reply"..
they're mostly posted on the same day..
they pretend to be from lost of various people
praising the upcoming system..
if you check reply's profile
the email is "comments@lindows.com"..

then rebol announces it is teaming up with streamcast networks (formerly known as musiccity as the announcement says) to use rebol for the new morpheus 2.0. it's weird that i could not find either the new streamcast site or anything about this announcement on musiccity's current site.
and now eff.org announces it will defend musiccity against the music industry.
"generates [a] customized Web site without the Web site creator writing any HTML or other programming code"
that doesn't only apply to system software because web server/database/scripts with browser forms as an input interface does exactly as explained above for the user.
even more so with flash sites
that don't need a bloat of frames
or to reload a whole layout of content
each time you click a button..:)
"This was submitted to the USPTO on June 19, 1998 -- surely someone out there knows of prior art for this?"
i sure hope so..
dynamic sites with admin tools
have been around for a whole bunch of years..:)
as an intense flash fan, i'd like to emphasize too that the flash plug-in is around 2-300k.
it's been said a little above but as the comment read, irresponsible journalism sucks. it is one of the very important assets of flash and saying frontpage that's it's bigger than 719k is plain irresponsible and shocking!
coldfusion has had the tag for a while.
this permits outputting only between <cfoutput> tags and therefore avoids the incredibly long blanks in your html source.:)
i know flash the application is not available on unix platforms, but for others who got it, in the about box quickly click on the macromedia logo (who will start bouncing) and then on the thanks button and then the team button.
bingo! a little flash game called "gary's car jump"!
i incorporated one myself in some small game i did last year. the game is a memory card one with soccer player pictures.
and then poof! some cute animation:) but don't click it because anyway the email link it will pop is no longer valid..
as it was pointed before, i sure asked myself if there was any way someone would ever click that sequence some day. i never got any feedback on it. i guess it is indeed just a way to have fun with your surrounding people.
flash makes it quite easy to hide all kinds of easter eggs, and given the interface liberties flash offers i guess they could get pretty wild..:)
i mean, technically they are right. but that's not a constructive way of solving things! so to hell with him! he proves he got no soul!
i still got love for tha street? yeah right!
my opinion has always been that if there was a way for the artists to charge less then cd's but make as much if not more money (after all, THEY are the soul we are buying) so to hell with distributors.
afaik, you can get just any server script to be shown.. it's not related to asp!.. i think it will even display any file, it's like a hole in a file search system.. i know i tried with coldfusion scripts and it displays just the same. i guess it would work with perl files, php files, you name it.
hello! this is slightly off topic, but i just noticed that a new television channel here in quebec has a logo that tremendously looks alike va's!.. here's the link : http://www.ztele.com/ they are a "science/science fiction" specialized channel on cable. they just leunched. frederic.
listen.. the thing with mp3 is the way circumstences conjonctured to bring all the digital music exchange made possible today.
01. suddenly we got gigs of disk space. cheap. 02. you got asdl and cable modem transfers. (28.8k anyone?) 03. you got this kind of perfect format which permits near-cd quality for a fraction (1/12) of the disk storage space.
only 1 or 2 years ago, downloading a whole album of.wav would have been something around.. 600Mb.
that was a quite disturbing download on a 33.6k and 800Mb harddrive.
and just think also of the newness of all the free software to easily produce and listen them files from any computer anywhere on (almost) any system.. no physical existence pour ainsi dire.. and perfect copies, as often mentioned yet..
so yes i would be afraid if i was the organization administrating this money-making channel..
but i think that what will happen eventually.. is that artists will make a choice for themselves.
it's just like the difference when you're a programmer.. between working inside a company or freelancing.
if my business charges $350/day of work and i only get 15 bucks an hour out of it.. the internet allows me to cut the intermédiaire.. so we can set a price that fits the client and certainly fits me too.. (something like.. $30/hour..:)
my point is.. when small money transactions will be made possible. it will cost much less to produce mp3's for the producers themselves too! think about the material and shipping savings! and if i can easily pay 2-3-4 bucks a CD i will MOST gladly do so if i know it comes from a channel that is directly connect my cash to the artist him/her/them/self/ves..!:)
so i think artists will make a choice for themselves, and pretty soon. watch out for breakups betweem those usual mutually linked partners.. the creator and the distributor.
just like i am myself tempted to split apart from the company i work for and start freelancing!:)

MY FIRST SLASHDOT POST! I'M TROLLING MYSELF! hahahaha:)
Slashdot Mirror
nobody commented yet that Blue Security have now mapped all their domains to "localhost" (127.0.0.1) ?
ok i had to post on this
i'm just sick of people rejoicing about AJAX
doing stuff FLASH does since like 2000..
OMG SERVER LOAD NO PAGE REFRESH !@#$%
that is all.

all in all it's marketing viral.. but that's another debate
what's up with this?
a couple of months ago the rebol site announced
that version 2.0 of morpheus would be based
on their language and i thought it was very interesting
and i have seen no one mention it since!..
it's still on rebol.com's homepage..
check that ultimate board page!

who cares?
morpheus 2.0 will be rebol-based.
http://rebol.com/news1a31.html
wow. that's a lot in about 2 weeks.
http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=199
rebol announces it wants to directly compete
against microsoft's
with their own "x-internet" vision and platform.

then rebol announces it is teaming up with streamcast networks

interesting chain of events i'd say
i can't believe this has to be mentioned again..

i incorporated one myself in some small game i did last year.
the game is a memory card one with soccer player pictures.
make sure you got flash 4 working!
here's the link to the flash game
so you have to click the cards in that order:
[1] [ ] [ ] [2]
[ ] [5] [6] [ ]
[ ] [7] [8] [ ]
[3] [ ] [ ] [4]
and then poof! some cute animation :)
