I think I fixed the special character decomposition glitch, so hopefully the site won't eat your %,|, and &characters so easily now. As a happy side effect, you can now post in Japanese. ;)

@nearscape:
I can do PHP, Drupal and I can make IE 6 happy designs, too: http://testing.rockmanproductions.com/edumach/ That's a site that's in development for my step-mom's company. http://www.mwfa.net is a drupal site I run.
I've got "CSS: The Missing Manual" too.
Plus I can do wordpress.
As for IE6.. Yeah.. I have an el cheapo Compaq as my main machine now that I "upgraded" to Win XP Pro form Vista Home Premium..it's actually dual boot XP Pro and Ubuntu 7.10. It's currently got IE7 on it because it was a forced update, but my old Sony I believe still has IE 6. And I know how fast corporate IT will adopt that. I still have IE 6 and Flash 7 on my desk at work. (They won't even upgrade my flash player!!) Corporate IT also won't let anyone run Firefox on their machines because, are you ready, it's "not secure."

Or DUH!
Double Dollars to Vash's doughnuts. Mainstream titles still on DVD, more "seasoned tatste" stuff ends up on XBOX and Playstation and iTunes.
They better allow me to watch it subtitled though.

Snap up your Tenchi while you can I guess. For better or worse, anime appears to be going back to a nitche market.

No no no, you haven't BEGUN to swear until you've worked with Microsoft Business Intelligence (which is also web crap). I swear, the Sith sect will rise from good people working with that.
In short, I need a old school lan too. In fact, if we could somehow get some hot BBS door game action going too that would be the absolute best.
nearscape
All this depressing web crap makes me want to play some games. Does anyone want to try for an Old School event the weekend before Christmas?
Or a regular event in January like we did years ago? I've got this Team Fortress 2 and it looks cool but I'd rather play it with friends than dickwads on the internets.

I haven't done much production lately unfortunately, I've been too busy wallowing in corporate web crap. It sucks, but it does pay better. So if you brush up on PHP, CSS, and Drupal I might have some work for you. But remember, corporate America runs on IE6, and based on IE7/Vista adoption rates, corporate America is apparently content to ALWAYS run on IE6, so be prepared to leave your Mozilla/Mac happy place and start swearing. A lot.

@nearscape, big_whiskey... Let me know if there's anything open in the video production world in Milwaukee (or for that matter, even here in Madison)... Let's just say it's probably best for the sanity of myself if I get out of the current situation asap.

sure... "corrugator manufacturing company"... that's what they want you to believe.

No, just the parent corrugator manufacturing company.
Last night, I fell in a moat.

Parent company? You work for the mafia now or something?

Gotta run. Dinner time.

"So far everything save for the wine has been very flat on flavor."
That's what I've heard. So what are you doing in Italy?

Dream BBQ Child
I had Pizza last night. So far everything save for the wine has been very flat on flavor. And the water full of chlorine. I smell like after swim practice.
adam
Ooh... Italy... Have a pizza for me.

Dream BBQ Child
Hi, from Italy. I'm very tired.

Pete,
Have you tried reporting that other video to Youtube?

Peter
Adam, thanks for taking my name off of Mind Games. One less thing for the department and myself to worry about. Now if only I could find the student who posted the other video up on YouTube, I would be in decent shape.
adam
@Peter: I took your name off the Mind Games tag and it's now listed in code under the actor's section.

no.. time to increase the caffeine intake.

I don't think so, Adam....Time to check that prescription. Now if you said that you found a cross between Damos and Matt S., now you might be onto something.
adam
Was Matt S. randomly in San Francisco and randomly in this photo or is that just his stunt double?

Except, of course, that time is money, and money is time. If you're spending money on products that you would never use if it wasn't for that company's bad behavior, then you are rewarding the bad behavior and redirecting resources that could have gone to better behaving competitors. In Linux's case, the time you spent earning the money for the purchase and upkeep of the Mac could have been better spent making GIMP not suck so much. In Microsoft's case, you could have bought an XBox 360, Halo 3, and spent time playing on XBox Live. Okay, the examples are weak, but the point remains: you could be playing Halo 3 instead.

I agree, I would much prefer to just put OSX on my homebuilt PC. That would be an ideal world. Because I'm not an Apple zealot, I've repeatedly railed against the bizarre pricing and unacceptably high failure rate in every Apple branded piece of hardware I've ever used. Actually, and ideal world would be one in which Vista would be a viable successor to XP, and we could happily continue to use Windows while ignoring those poor Apple and Linux bastards. Unfortunately, Microsoft has not given us that option. Vista is forcing more and more users to consider other options. So, if I were an application developer, I wouldn't want to ignore those other options for much longer, and the most convenient way to do that is to develop on a Mac, where you can *legally* use software from all 3 camps to help you get the job done.
I'm not sure how buying a Mac and running Linux apps on it "punishes" Linux developers, unless every Linux developer has stock in Dell or something. Last I checked, that wasn't a requirement in the open source community. In reality, paying extra for that shitty Apple hardware basically allows Apple to continue subsidizing all the open-source projects it contributes to (Darwin, KDE, X Window, etc), which seems philosophically aligned with Linux developers to me. And Microsoft still gets their $300 for that retail copy of XP. Everybody wins. Except for maybe Dell. ;)

"If you are a true open-source cross-platform developer, Mac is the most logical choice because you can deploy all 3 platforms on one box."
True, except that is due to Apple's 'bad behavior' in its unwillingness to free its OS from the hardware. By extolling this as a virtue of the Mac, you are essentially punishing the entities that make this possible: Microsoft and Linux developers.
nearscape
"I create business apps"
You do? Such as...? And when it comes to Apache and Zend, I think you're substituting "Linux" when you really mean "Unix". Mac OSX Server has as much, if not more, Unix in it.
"I do not like mac because...all of your choices are gone."
This sums up your ignorance when it comes to Mac quite well. See, you have never worked on a Mac, so you don't know that Mac actually gives you the most choices now that they use Intel hardware. If you are a true open-source cross-platform developer, Mac is the most logical choice because you can deploy all 3 platforms on one box. Unless you're still whining about the $300 Microsoft wants you to pay for XP, but again, that's not Apple's fault.
And when it comes to software choices, Mac options are just exploding lately. See for yourself. This is just one category, on one site.

So, you might want to do some research before you start comparing Apple to Kim Jong Il, because you really sound like an idiot.

Nearscape, I do not make media or games. I create business apps, and right now;
Apache, is awesome.
ZEND PHP, is awesome.
Mono, Rocks.
Firefox, ROCKS hardcore like an 80s rock band on drugs.
Flash, and AIR work on Linux.
Adobe Flex builder works on Linux.
My world works in linux, I don't need office, photoshop, or illustrator, I can use open source replacements if I like.
If you think of the number of things that work in linux right now, vs. Vista, you will find that Linux is neck and neck, and in terms of development, nothing is supported yet in vista, but Linux has its main stays.
If Microsoft Dopes around with linux, developers are going to learn eclipse, and just work with it cross platform.
I do not like mac because, I am not a consumer when you buy mac, you are a slave, to hardware, software, and anything that works on the platform. All of your choices are gone.
The same people who love a mac could learn to love to work in north korea.
