Quick post, this time no Flash but a Photoshop action that saves me a lot of time. First of all, I don’t use slides in Photoshop, but often I just make a selection, copy/paste that in a new window and then press ctrl-alt-shift-s to ’save for the web’. I am doing this a lot of times when slicing objects. Since a while now I use an action for that. I hope this will help you too work faster. Key thing you have to remember is to create a selection and press F2..

What a nice title! I have updated my blog design. No, there are no shocking new features, just a more fresh and cleaner design. Yes, it is still black and in the ’stroep’-style, but I think it is really cleaner. I think it is important too keep improving, so I hope you like it. I added some nice icons in the sidebar and jQuery rollovers. I have added rounded corners (only shown in modern browsers) and I really think it makes the site more friendly, which should be a good thing

For a while now, I am experimenting with this new experiment. I created an algorithm with nested sinus/cosinus, to show of some cool 3d looking particles (no there is no 3d in it). It is amazing to see how many particles flash can move. I used components from bit-101 to have some interaction.

I created a useful util-class to make delayed function calling easy. You can make a chain of functions, by adding them with a delay in milliseconds. This chain can be executed multiple times, even in reversed order.

I’ve updated my Image class. It is irritating flashsites break the right-click contextmenu. Well, I can’t fix that and Adobe should look at that, but I think it would nice to add some of the browser – features to my image class.
