It is almost 1am and I should feel tired, but I am feeling rather stoked! I was finally able to get CFMX7 up and running on a flavor of linux. I had emailed Steven Erat (Steven works for Adobe as a Senior Server Product Support Engineer. Don’t let that title fool you, the man is [...]

i dare you to do it

They do not mention it in the article, but I have to wonder if the gentleman that drank the liquid might have been slow. Then I can understand charging the cook, but if the elderly gentleman was not slow, and was of sound mind, I do not agree with it. It was a dare, nobody [...]

the winds have stopped blowing

And the sands have settled. A change in weather? No, we just ran out of canvas. My sleeve has been completed, for the most part. All that we have left to finish is a bit of touching up. It is always a weird feeling at the end of a piece. I am not sure how [...]
