Yeah, he graduated. No flying colors, just barely. Yey! Congrats little brother!

This post is mostly just for the sake of posting. But then again, this site is just so cool.

Adobe put up a new site called Photoshop Express.

It’s just like any other photo sharing website for photographers and hobbyists. But there’s a very cool feature to it.

You could edit your photos on a very nice Flash interface. With options from basic color manipulation to very complex image distortion. I’ve only played with it for a few minutes, but it seems like a good and easy way to quickly upload photos while editing them at the same time.

Just transfered my very new Blogspot hosted blog to an even newer Wordpress hosted one. I wanted Wordpress from the very beginning (mainly because Blogger doesn’t have categories), but I thought I needed my own server to start, so I went with Blogger. Then I found out that Wordpress could host it as well. And thanks to the awesome “Import blog” feature, I imported my posts without any problems. Woot!

I have a lot of goals this summer vacation. And one of them is to learn basic PHP. Right now, I don’t really see any need for it, given my current web experience, but I guess it would be a very useful skill to have.
So here is the eBook I am reading to learn PHP. Very comprehensive, and easy to understand.

I am currently reading a tutorial on AS3.0 with Flash CS3 by one of my favorite ActionScripters. I would love to learn it on Flex (the Flash interface sucks), but I just got too comfortable with using objects on stage as instances for the code on AS2.0. The great thing about this tutorial is that it has comparisons with how it used to be on AS2.0, and shows code on how it is on AS3.0. And so far it is very effective if you have a background in basic ActionScript. Coupled with a video tutorial from Lynda.com I ‘downloaded’, I think I could now completely switch to AS3.0! I just love how similar it is to Java syntactically.

Here’s the tutorial: Getting started with AS3.0 with Flash CS3

My name is John. This is my first blog ever. I heard you could write anything you want on these things. So in this blog, I’ll be writing what I think about all the time - sex.
Heh, just kidding, I’ll be writing about art, design, Flash and web development. I’ll chronicle my progress in those areas, post some random sketches, write down everything I learned in a day (if I do learn something), or on rare occasions, write down something interesting about me.

Have a nice day.
