I arrived in Brisbane this morning VERY early, caught the 6am flight from Melbourne which (due to regional time distortion fields) arrived around 7am local time even though it took just over two hours.

I’ve been battling with my latest revision vidget over the past few days and the saga continues. To get photos from flickr I use the site’s RSS feeds, only they keep changing on me! On Tuesday I had everything sorted, they started using the tag so I reworked my script to use it to grab the urls of the photos. By Thursday the tags were gone so I’ve gone back to using the < description> tag which is a little messier.

On the plane I accidentally opened my LiveStage Pro project in an old version of the app (4.5 instead of the latest 4.5.4) and saved and now while the flickr search works - I can’t get it to load any movies. D’oh! I have, however got inter-movie communication working really well so that I have a separate movie for output and controls. This means I can resize the output to 640*480 really nicely to go to a second monitor.

BTW, I’m writing this from a very cool cafe called The Alibi Room on the corner of Brunswick St and Annie St in Bris-vegas. It has yummy food, good coffee and FREE WIFI!
