I, Muehlenhaus. U, Riedermaus.

Wow, it's already tomorrow, and I'm still not quite done touching this sonuvagun up. But it's not a bad first draft. I hacked my way through this one, teaching myself ActionScript along the way. It was incredibly fun! No time to deal with all the errors made way back when I was still figuring stuff out -- Vancouver Island is really warped. I thinned the coastline a bit to lessen its magnitude, but it sticks out like a sore thumb to me. I'm still putzing with how to arrange the legend, data-text box, and supplemental information buttons too, but overall, I am pretty stoked with this. It is loading the data from 210 individual html text files that I created. Even the altTag boxes are created from reading a single line of code from a single text file. It is pretty damn amazing what Flash can do with a couple of lines of code.

I still have to get the PDF files from Birgit so that there is actually something to print, as for right now I just have some gibberish code pop up.

I'm not making sense. I must go to bed... I just realized that I don't even know where the hell my phone is. I think it is still on my nightstand... Sorry to anyone who has called. Today I was oblivious to the world around me. I heard it snowed, though.
