A number of posters on Donline have left comments requesting that the Flash File Uploader automatically replace file names with single and double quotes to alleviate the problems that derived from the uploader’s javascript functions (props, complete, etc.). The changes include file slash-stripping in the FLA (new function on lines 63-71 and calls on 93 and 114) and updates to the index.php and upload.php’s printing of file names, confirmation/error divs, and read-out of the GET string provided by the Flash.

As a result, some minor modifications to the Flash FLA, index.php and upload.php were made. I haven’t had time to thoroughly test this, but feel pretty good about it being solid. Regardless, I’m requiring all users of the scripts to still read and accept my disclaimer before proceeding.

Comments and feedback always welcome. Thanks again, Mike, for the assistance.

Great article by Aussi Designer Jacob Cass about identity design budgeting and understanding of fees. Here’s a little taste:

Mike and I finally got around to putting our pictures together from our trip to Vienna, Budapest and Prague (Bohemia). The trip was for our 30th birthdays and, sadly, I guess I’m not as sprightly as I was in my salad days. Sorry this is so after-the-fact, I know a bunch of you were interested in seeing them. Have a gander and let me know what you think! (Links to previous trips are on the bottom of the page).

The TripAdvisor “Cities I’ve Visited” Application for Facebook is a pretty interesting widget to share your travel experience with friends on the popular social networking site. It’s free and takes only a moment to set-up. After you’re done, you can notify friends of recommendations, see which friends have traveled to the same places, post yourself as a trip advisor for specific destinations, note that you will be traveling to a certain area and request recommendations from friends and strangers that have traveled there previously.

I’m sure everyone has seen this already, but that’s not going to stop me from reposting it.
For any fans of Natalie Portman, including her exquisite role as the flirtatious brainiac, Marty, in Beautiful Girls (1996), you’ll enjoy this profane, but hilarious SNL skit (presumably written by Andy Samberg—the genius behind Lazy Sunday).

Take a look at the paintings and sketchbook of Vincent Hui over at hardsponge.com. Some amazingly impressive work.

This may be a relatively old story (as it was originally posted nearly a month ago), but none of my friends or colleagues mentioned it to me so, I assume, there’s some of you out there that didn’t know either.

Flickr has been beta-testing videos and has finally launched Flickr Video. For the initial release, Flickr Pro members can share up to 90-second clips on their account. I suspect that, soon, it’ll be available to non-Pro accountholders and the 90s quota will be increased. For more information, take a look at the below links.
