"It may be that the gulfs will wash us down"
Let's talk some shop. Really, what's up with that remark? Talking shop? What the hell? Of course, I now what it means.. despite the 1.02% alcohol in my blood right now. (point taken)

Wait.. is that even a realistic number? Pff, god knows. I sure as H. double hockey sticks don't. (it's called HELL!!)

So, let's get to an actual point. What am I doing at the moment? Watching TV... at lot. Busy with school (slightly less) and of course working my ass off, to make some good green bills. I'm tempted to mention "even less" with work, but no, I work at lot. I work to the extend that my personal life is on some sort of "hold".

This of course means that my Flash work, unfortunately, also has to be put in the queue. But not to in extreme. Seeing as I believe in my Flash projects, I tend to give them some priority over other work.

Now I can't give you an exact release date, or anything in that direction because, my official "work" prohibits me from working as much as I want on my personal Flash projects. So, I'll have to give you a rain check.

Stay jiggly with it. I'll be back. And it'll be awesome.

Why I don't update (Part II)
Twelve days have gloriously past us by as I struggle to make the self set deadline. Lovely.

Due to the fact that I have a second deadline (a slightly more important deadline) I haven't been able to do much.

It's important that I deliver the first release candidate of an application that I'm building for a client at work. Which obviously gets first priority.

Nevertheless I will not let it crush my spirit. I promise dearly that before this month is over a new Flash game will be released.

I'm working on two games simultaneously. One action/adventure and a puzzle game. I think I will finish the latter first and continue with the former after that. To even out my workload.

So, once again. Stay tuned!

Why I don't update (Part I)
The reason that Just Like Ed lacks regular updates (and that's an understatement) is the occupancy of every day life.

School, work, and especially the combination has the ability to keep me occupied from sun rise to sun set. Unfortunately this leave very little time left for a personal life, let alone personal projects.

Up next: Christmas and it's many, merry, days without work and school. Up to the 7th next year, which is the day on which school resumes.

What I plan do do in these two short weeks? Don't know for sure. But be sure to check back afterwards.

Once you go Adobe
A black van with gold UPS lettering drove up to our door. *Ding dong* said the doorbell. A package! What could it be? The label on the package could only mean one thing.

Inside the mysterious Adobe-labeled package was the box that gave away the ending. And inside that box was another box. And inside that second box was a bunch of stuff. Well, I can't think of an exaggerated expression of my liking of the content. Creative Suite 3 Web Standard was in the box!

Wait Standard? That's right. Premium includes Photoshop and Illustrator, which I never use. Standard was € 100,00 cheaper and contained the things that I care about: Flash, Dreamweaver and all the Macromedia titles. Thus is was a logical choice.

I've installed and snooped around the new gear but, haven't really gotten around to give 'em a good feel. So I'll be doing that this weekend (or so.)

This absolutely nonsense news was brought to you by.....

Legal software FTW!
I usually don't lower myself to using Internet acronyms but, I needed a catchy title. I just preordered the very expensive Creative Suite 3 Web Edition over the marvelous Internet. What does Adobe got to do with me? Nothing, really. But, since Macromedia was shamelessly bought my Adobe, there is no longer a "Macromedia Studio" pack with awesome-only software but, I have to buy the stupid Creative Suite thing. Nevertheless Flash 9 is mine! (I got and e-mail from Adobe today! It's being shipped as we speak)

Such a bad time to buy it, I'm pretty occupied with both school and work. But I can always make time for Flash. Unfortunately I haven't really made any progress with any spare time project lately. I have two new games waiting for me in the darkness that crawled over the factory floor. Right, that was a bad metaphor. I've been so busy I haven't had any time to continue on those two games.

Oh, right the Wii, I completely forgot to write a follow up on it. Bottom line: it rocks. Shame about the limited titles but, that'll change soon enough. Don't really have a lot of time to play with it at the moment anyway. I even tried to make a Wii website. Heh, it's actually completed but, I don't have time to launch it, let alone run it once it's there.

More news later!

Wii're here!
Sorry about the lame joke, but it seems that everybody is making some kind of funny word joke with the Wii. It's the hottest thing since my toast this morning, which wasn't very hot, my toaster is broken.

If you're not living on a rock, or are interested in this topic at all, you may be aware that today is the European Launch day for the Nintendo Wii console. I pre-ordered mine a few weeks back and needless to say, my procrastination has payed off, I'm on back order. I'm not getting my Wii any time soon. I hate people.

On another page, Scrubs is back! Now, I'm a big fan so, I am more than thrilled about it. Although the first episode of the now 6th season was a little weak, it defiantly had a few Scrubs moments. Shame that my view of the Janitor got killed by spotting him in the movie Mean Girls (yes, I have issues.)

But, all hope is not lost, I'm going to hide in my bomb shelter (under my bed) up to the moment a UPS driver rings my doorbell and hands me a shiny package. Until then, screw the world, I'm out.

Wii launch countdown
I was looking for a Nintendo Wii countdown to plaster onto my desktop in order to torment myself endlessly until it's finally out. Thing is, I live in Europe and not in the U.S. The U.S. has a different launch date for the Wii than Europe. I managed to find plenty of U.S. countdowns but, they didn't do me any good. So, I just made one myself. And while I was at it, I made a U.S. version in the same style.
- Wii European countdown;
- Wii U.S. countdown.

Enjoy.
