I have a link of the day now… and all I can say is “HOLY SHIT!!!”

Chicken Chop

Too bad there isn’t an avi file to go with it.

It’s Monday (happy-happy, joy-joy!!).

The weekend was pretty good. Again with the sister and her man-toy on Saturday (dinner, Castle Risk, a bottle of red Zinfandel, and the obligatory laundry).

Sunday was spent, for the most part, in front of my computer. I picked up Master of Orion III on Friday and made an attempt at playing it. Apparently I need to read that 180 page manual again, as I had no idea wtf I was doing (it’s a tad more complecated that MOO2). Needless to say, the Ssakra handed my my ass on a plate (with a nice garnish on the side).

I did make a brief trip out of the house to Wall*Mart to buy a couple CD racks (my CD’s were scattered willy-nilly all around the house).

I love Wall*Mart!

When I’m feeling down and depressed, a trip there will always lift my spirits. Looking at all those other people who tend to shop at Wall*Mart exclusively make me realize that no matter how bad my life is… it could be worse. Missing teeth, bad skin, and trailer park livin’ mouth breathers abound there.

Can you tell my drugs are kicking in?

I also got my letter of recomendation for my Neurosurgon this weekend. I’ve been trying to call today, but apparently his assistant (who takes all the appointments) isn’t answering her phone. There is a message stating that she isn’t in today, but according to the operator, she is (the message is from last Friday). I’ll keep calling, hopefully someone there will tell her to switch her phone over so it will ring.

Remember when this website was entertaining?

Looking over the last few posts, it’s been a drag. Pain is my friend, but at least the drugs are good (I’m currently loaded up on narcotics as I type this, so it probobly won’t make a lot of sense). I’ve turned the site into a bitch-fest of self pitty. Hopefully things will improve after my surgery.

I did go see my chiropractor today to get a second opinion before the neurosurgeon fillets my back. His prognosis: get the surgery (in fact, he won’t touch me because he doesn’t want to cause any more damage).

Wheeeee!

No link today, sorry.

I got a call from my Doctor today about the MRI I had last week.

Apparently I’ve crushed the disk between L4 and L5, causing the nerves on the left side to be pinched (and thus, causing the good fun lovin’ with my left leg). He’s scheduling an appointment with a Neurosurgeon so they can do surgery on it.

Wheeee!

In other news, I figured out the flash issues this morning. When I presented the finished product to my boss, she told me it needed two data sources graphed (kill me), but I was able to add that in easily enough.

If anyone knows flash, I could really use your help.

I’m attempting to make a flash object that reads a range of numbers from an external data file and creates a dynamic graph from those numbers.

The problem I’m running into is the order in which things are happening. The string of data comes in last, after all the other processing has been done (I need it to happen first, so it can process the data).

I’ve been trying to get help on Flash Kit and someone who goes by the name ArcticWeb has been kind enough to assist me.

Apparently, I’m a little too thick to understand what he’s telling me (he’s probobly ready to bitch-slap me for my inability to grasp the concept).

Here’s the file (both in flash 5 and flash mx) that I’m working with.

email me here if you know just what the hell I’m doing wrong.

Help me, Obi Wan… you’re my only hope!
