Ever since I discovered Tim Wilson’s implementation of a flash-based theme for Wordpress a few days ago, I’ve been a man obsessed, I must discover not only how it was done, but how to do the same thing with my own sites. Although I obtained a copy of his website’s template, the code made little sense to me and I saw little use in only being able to use pages to display my posts. I instead sought out alternatives, and found a promising one in AMFPHP, a framework which allows one to make PHP calls from inside Flash. However, what the developers of AMFPHP fail to mention is that you need FlexBuilder to access the libraries needed to read the data AMFPHP returns to your Flash document. Bastards. That being that, after about 6 hours of trying without Flex, I surrendered and set about the task of finding myself a copy. My quest for a Flash-based Wordpress theme is, I fear, only beginning.
If he was smart, al-Zawahiri would take this opportunity to surrender instead of making more demands. Of course, if anyone in Al-Qaeda was smart, they wouldn’t have placed themselves in a position of being enemies of the United States. Live and learn, right guys?

As if cable prices weren’t high enough, the cable companies have found a way to gouge you even further for using their services.

What are you gonna do? Switch to DSL? Not bloody likely, those providers are no doubt only two steps behind the cable companies, like always. Where the hell is Teddy Roosevelt when we need him? Oh right, dead. Sigh…
