新年 おめでとう ございます!!!
A big belated Happy 2006 to everyone!Hope you had an interesting NYE celebration. We were at Derek's place watching fireworks. It's really cool because we could see the fireworks at Mount Faber, Sentosa and HarbourFront all at the same time from his apparentment. We also DotA-ed through the countdown from 2005 to 2006. How cool is that?!

I'll be posting a few technical demos of parts of our system (look under technical demos in the right menu bar):
Mass Add to Course
This would seem like an easy thing to implement to most programmers. BUT if you examine the thing carefully, you'll realise there's a WHOLE load of alternate flows and exceptions to consider (including but not limited to CTRL-clicking and Shift-clicking). I haven't quite fixed all the bugs but we're just going to throw it in first.
Main Menu Bar
I think this has to take the cake for most cheap trills in a single navigation menu I've ever created. It was strongly inspired by the menu bar BMW used in it's promotional site for the new V3 but I expanded on the functionality even more and made it dynamic (to read the menu XML output).
How do I know theirs isn't dynamic? because apparently when you mask a dynamic text field the changes will not be reflected when you change the contents. Yet another quirk in Flash.
Video Help System
I had some fun filming Muchacha for the interactive video help system on Tuesday. She looks really cute with the tie on though she doesn't seem to like wearing it very much. But in all honesty she was much more presentable and formal with the tie on. I'll post the demo of the help system over the weekend.
It's time for us to go back to Estee Lauder and grab some more free juice!
In other news: The latest craze at our office is
"魁!! クロマティ高校!" (Charge! Cromartie High School!)
Derek brought the DVD to the office and it's been a hit with everyone! I've even set the theme song as my ring tone! Any anime about a school with deliquent students including a robot, a gorilla, aliens and Freddy Mercury is well worth watching! Find out more about the show here!
