There's something supremely satisfying about using Chicago's anti-graffiti laws to remove graffiti ads:

In Chicago, pretty much anyone has the right to remove graffiti from private property, thanks to a citywide initiative known as Give Graffiti the Brush. So last week, a trio of champions used the rule to their advantage and painted over a graffiti-style billboard for Axe, the perfume for boys.

I just performed the most tedious of tasks, and it took me about an hour to do. It's not hard, but it's a pain in the ass. Then, when I previewed my work and was satisfied, I went to click File -> Save, but as my mouse clicked File, the program disappeared off the screen without a trace. WHAT THE FUCK!??? Timing like that could only happen to me.

So yeah. I'm sure you've heard the lesson a brazillion times, but the moral of this story is save your progress.

So the Sidetrack Café is being torn down to make way for condominiums. I really like how the city continues to make excellent decisions in downtown development.

Also, the iHuman building is scheduled to be torn down for the same reason. Looks like DJ Weezl is gonna hafta find a new place to get cheap beats.

fuck, it's morning-time.

fuck it, night-time.

some interesting browser differences I've noticed tonight:

A. DHTML processing speed
IE: very fast
Firefox: terribly slow... makes animation difficult
WINNER: internet explorer blows firefox out of the water on this one

B. Use of DHTML with the gif89a format
IE: gif remains at frame 1 until dynamic action script completed whereupon animation of the gif begins
Firefox: animates the gif concurrently while performing the dynamc action
WINNER: while both methods could be useful in different situations, I give a slight edge to Firefox in its ability to perform parallel tasks.

C. Handling of cached files shared between 2 seperate html files
IE: when switching from one html page to another, the browser reloads files from the cache, which results in a quick on-screen flicker while image files reload.
Firefox: when switching from one html page to another, the browser uses the same already opened instance of the file. This is significant for animation as it means that any animated gif already opened will begin on the new page at the frame from which it left off on the previous page... thereby allowing for seamless and flickerless animation between pages.
WINNER: Firefox's ability for seamless transitions gives it potential as an interactive development environment.


OVERALL CHAMPION: Internet Explorer. Although it doesn't handle file objects as elegantly as it could, it at least allows DHTML scripts to run at an adequately useful framerate. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Firefox. Should Firefox be optimized to run DHTML faster, it will take the prize, but for now it just didn't stand up to the task.

EDIT: hey... that's weird; Internet Explorer is suddenly animating gifs WHILE performing DHTML tasks. So I guess it doesn't actually lose trial B anyway (it should then technically result in a tie). But I coulda SWORE it wasn't doing that before!
