Recently I have experienced a tremendoius slowdown in Flash. It seems to load normally, but a couple of “rendering” problems: “Test Movie” or “Test Scene” is painfully slow. Also , trying to apply “Timeline Effects” is resulting in painfully slow waits (each of the above is on the order of about 3-5 minutes for the effect dialog box to come Continue Reading

I’ll throw this question out there: I have been trying to get a select statement that formerly worked in Access to work in SQL….I know that the application used the Access date delimiter # , and say that ‘ is used for SQL ….but simply plugging in ‘ in place of the # in the DB_DATE_DELIMITER variable does not do Continue Reading

I just completed a clean XP Pro install Sunday night. I am hesitating to install NAV 2004. My system before had become monstrously slow. I had a lot more things on it, and a slower boot drive (the original hard drive on my e-machines machine; 5400 rpm I expect, since it was always identified as too slow to capture video Continue Reading

a trackback to Scott’s test post in dottext 0.95

Linking to Scott’s dotText blog to see if it records the trackback

I will make a reference to this post on my dotText blog, still trying to determine why it’s not recording trackbacks from my MT blog.

This weblog works fine, and trackbacks from my Theoblogical.Net blog work here, but if I post a link back to the other, it does not catch it over there. For instance, this post will not get the trackback from THIS REFERENCE

Six Apart has made a statement about the long-awaited MT Pro, which is NOT, as some have suggested or believed, represented in TypePad, their pay-blog service (as suggested here) I suspect that the startup of Type Pad and taking care of thatbusiness had something to do with the delay of MT Pro, but Iam still waiting to see if it’s Continue Reading

I’m on locale again, gettin’ set to “pow-wow” again with Larry about “The George and the web”, and where we’re at. Read here, on my “soon to be OSG-hosted” Theoblogical.Net Blog

I made an entry on my “DotText” blog on how I ‘m entering into the second year of my journey toward a new and exciting career (not fully funded yet, but things have begun to trickle in)
