Newspapers

Well, this one turned out way differently than what I had originally planned. The newspaper in here is a reference to AM New York, a free newspaper that they hand out around subway stations in the morning. Since it’s free, they get their money from advertising, and there are a ton of ads all over the newspaper. Most people just take a newspaper from whoever is passing them out, and then throw it away when they get to the nearest trash can. Last year when I used to go to school at a normal time (as in “not zero-period gym”), I’d often see these newspapers littered all over the sidewalk/street floor, on stairs, on subway seats, and especially around the trash can right outside the subway station entrance. Uhh… where was I going with this again? I have no idea. Oh yeah, we also took our senior portraits today. The waiting took forever.

Anyway, added Collateral Damage Studios to the links on the right. It has artwork and stuff. Yeah!

Update: Someone made a Japanese translation of this daily flash on Nicovideo.

PC-98 Alice


Added PC-98 Alice to create.swf, with some new backgrounds. Such backgrounds include a school hallway, a mini stage, a pond, a field, and Marisa’s house without a computer in the foreground. You can now also change the font for speech bubbles and things like that! Here’s Thefre’s changelog.

=New Features
– Eirin will now tell you about new updates the first time you load them.
– Eirin now has a link to the user manual.
– You can now use [ and ] to cycle through available objects on the stage.
– You can now switch the functionality of shift/ctrl left/right to make them more consistent with other shift/ctrl functions.
– You can now change the speed the arrow keys will alter things at.
– Changing fonts are now available for text bubbles.
– The manipulator tool has some new options for text bubbles.

=Bug Fixes
-Fixed flipping using the edit menu causing things to be sent to back.

Thefre also made some guides on how to use speech bubbles and how to make comics with create.swf.

Telemarketing


So yeah, how about those telemarketers? I actually did this once; I let the person talk for like three minutes until there was silence, and then I just hung up.

College fair

Went to a college fair today, where I learned about a bunch of different colleges/universities that I would otherwise probably not be interested in. But yes, the Harvard table actually was empty most of the time (at least it was when I saw it), perhaps due to the fact that it was near the back of the gym, near the corner. Yale was there too, but their table was near the gym entrance so they got a ton of people crowding around. I wonder how the Harvard and Yale representatives would’ve responded if someone had told them “I’ve never heard of your school before.”

Anyhow, this week seemed to go by pretty fast for some reason. Tomorrow’s Friday! I wonder who I’ll update create.swf with. Perhaps PC-98 Reimu.

100th daily flash!

It’s the 100th flash! Wanted to go with something big, like that daily flash about the 100,000 pageviews. Only this time, I’ve done more than just copy/paste frames from old flashes; I’ve edited most of the dialogue and added some other things, so now it actually flows together like some sort of weird story! It’s 176 frames long, and it’s sure to bring back some memories of the older daily flashes, if you’ve seen them.

Anyhow, thanks to all the readers who have been following my daily flashes up until now, and for all the feedback you all have provided over the months. 100 daily flashes, wooo! (There’s just something about landmark numbers like 100 that makes people go “wooo!”)
