Flash 10 Bug of the Year.

So here is the bug:

1. Open safari.
2. Navigate to a web page and somewhere on the page there is a Flash object embeded.
3. Close the page too quickly.
4. Safari CRASHES!

This happens every single time I am just surfing the web. I really hope Adobe can fix this issue quickly so I don't have to loose anymore sessions. I assume that this has something to do with Flash throwing an error, and then when you click "continue" or "dismiss all" the SWF doesn't exist.

On the defense of Adobe, this could be just bad AS 3 practice. We need to make sure that the Loader & URLLoader objects have IOError handling. Even, on the initial load. If the SWF can't find it's self it will throw an error. That's what I'm seeing all the time.

New Face!

So, I finally set aside some time to put something together for the front face of my site. It's not as elaborate as I was hoping, but it's a cool base for something that could grow exponentially. My idea for the front page is that I can add a graphic or two a week. I've been studying lateral thinking quite a bit, and I like the brainstorming parts of it a lot. This mind map is kind of the idea I was going for, but it became a bit more randomized. It is more abstract ideas thrown on the screen.

The next evolution of this could be that some of the items don't get blitted to a bitmap and are interactive. Who knows where the next idea will take me, so... hope you enjoy it.

Next on the list is to give this damn blog a better design. :)
