Lego to the left, soft toys to the right, tree in the middle and speeding train running through everything. We still need to wrap the presents and spread them around too.

New book

I went shopping today!
Bookstores are very dangerous places for me, however I was good and only got Colin Mook’s Actionscript 3 book that I needed, even though I had a pile of others that I also wanted :)

Last night I wanted to use setPixels but couldn’t find any resources on creating a byte array full of the colours I wanted. I was getting an error and when I searched for a solution came across the page after the page I needed in google books listing of the actionscript 3 book. This morning I went into work a little early to borrow one of my workmates copy and decided I probably should get my own.

Amazon is looking very tempting for the remaining books. I’m off to devourer some more information 😀

Happy Birthday to me

Well I’m another year older.

The day started a little earlier then planned when at 2am a possum decided to get into the back patio and knock a tile off the bench so that it smashed on the ground, waking both Andrew and I. Due to the suprise, I ended up not getting back to sleep till 3:30am which made getting up to go to work early at lot harder.

Work was work, but I got through the day without anyone singing happy birthday so that was good.

I had a lovely lunch with Sam in the botanical garderns.

This evening I had the flash platform user group meeting. Yes I know this is an odd thing to do on the evening of a birthday but I had promised to do a presentation 3 weeks ago for it and I enjoy the meetings. Robin Hilliard was there and talked about MVC and I did a presentation on hydra. I also won an adobe thermos to add to my collection of adobe toys decorating the window sill behind my desk at work.

Thanks to Andrew, Mick&Angie, Granny&Grandpa, Mum and Uncle Peter for the wonderful cards and thanks to my guildmates and the various emails wishing me happy birthday. It is nice to feel special for a day :)

We actually got two sets because so they could keep each other company or maybe it was because I wanted more track to play with.
