Voicemail Instructions

Nothing infuriates a Pablo more than having to wait through voicemail instructions. I don’t know how things work on other phone systems, but on Sprint you can disable the voicemail instructions by doing this

1. Call voicemail
2. Choose Personal Options
3. Choose Greeting
4. Choose Change Main Greeting
5. Choose Add or Remove Caller Instructions

Voila! The infuriating voicemail instructions will be banish-ed!!!!

A Night Out With The Gang

So Todd in town tonight. We all meet up at Maudie’s and Drink The Margarita and Eat the Fajita. Good to see the gang

Waiting for Trudeau

Am i the only one waiting to hear adolph's take on the signifcance (or otherwise) of Apple's Boot Camp? Of course, anyone can chime in if they'd like.

My intital reaction is one of excitement as i have a PC user in the house that just can't get 'used' to the mac despite her best efforts.

In other news, as i made my way out of the neighborhood this morning i noticed that the lawns were looking pretty shaggy. Of course everyone knows that this means i'll be trolling for bags of fresh grass clippings for my super enormous compost. Speaking of which, i'll be constructing compost bins this saturday out of old fence boards. Anyone interested in compost bins and peach iced-tea can come over for composting happiness.

In even more other-news, Adolfo has his first show-and-tell today. He walked out of the house with his leapPad (his laptop computer), climbed into his car seat and played with it all the way into town.

No April Showers

For those Austi-nuts who were paying attention there was a truely glorious electrical storm
passing through.

Flashing

Now that i've finished presentations for the beginning of the year, i can continue my struggles with action script.

The first thing i encountered was not being able to add a click event to a movie clip (or button) inside of another movie clip that also had a click event.



originally, clicking the arrow moved it in and out, but when i did that the button inside (child) wouldn't accept events. I later learned this was called propogation (which flash doesn't support). To get around it i took the event off the arrow and placed only on the tip so that the embedded button movie clip could perform.

UPDATE: The button was generating multiple text boxes if you clicked on it more than once, so i had to start it off with an

if(!button) {
//do this}
else { //do this};

for a clean finish.

A.P.E

Oh how I wish I could go to A.P.E, the Alternative Press Expo, in San Francisco this weekend.

Some of my favorite comic making folks are going to be there…
