i went to central kitchen with some of the guys from one of the product teams i’m working on at brightcove, got a great chicken dinner and creme brulee for dessert. oh and a lovely glass of syrah.
i note this because a good part of the 3 hour dinner was taken up with talking about 3 of the guys’ former companies, adobe, macromedia, & allaire. pretty interesting to pick the brains of such brilliant developers.
one comment from the night that stands out is what sean said: that the real successful developers are the ones where someone knows what they want to build and work to find a way to accomplish it. he also said that you have to make noise to climb the ladder. i dont feel like either of those are particularly in my nature, and that’s left me feeling kinda bummed.
he did also mention that the san francisco adobe office is a great place to work and he could hook me up. i dont want to move again but the offer is tempting.
kirupa.com – transitions between external swfs
is a great article, but i want to transition between internal movie clips. i’m using attachMovie() but I can’t quite wrap my head around the logic of a button action calling a function which plays an outro and then calls another function which goes to the next section. maybe i just need to sleep on it.
