Lately, things are a bit hectic and will continue to be so for a while. Our recent project had its deadline and I am fortunate to be able to tell you that we made it. For a school project, this is quite an accomplishment because, often, teams have one or two ’slackers’, making the whole project block. Even though we’ve had our troubles (on which I will not eleborate) we have finished all our three installation prototypes. This week will be spend on straightening out a few crinkles, which wouldn’t be a problem but since we still have time… Friday we’ve our final presentation, so keep your fingers crossed!
Also I’ve met a beginning artist who’se working on her final assessment in school. She’s on a very cool project. In short, she’s designed a series of lamps. Each lamp is described by a set of ‘genes’. Clients who want to order a lamp are to pick their two favorite lamps of the latest generation and the genes of those lamp will the determine the shape of their lamp. The next two weeks, I will be working on her website. Man, it’s gonna be cool, I tell you that.
As if that isn’t enough, the next two weeks I’ll also be following an ‘Advanced Flash’ course in school. Although I doubt I will learn much, there’s a prize of €750 for the best production so I’m doing my very best to win ;).
Last, but not least, I’ve been toying with the socket-class in Flash CS3. It’s really a breeze to work with, were it not for the Flash Security Model. In less than one hour I whipped together a simple chatroom, including a local server (not in Flash). It’s not really worth showing, but it’s been a good exercise.
Well… back to housecleaning now - but first a lunch!
