Development tidbits, struggles, revelations, and still some Flash

The iG:Syntax hiliter plugin for WordPress wants to swap out my > (greater than), < (less than) symbols for > and <. I haven’t posted code in awhile, so I’m not sure if this is something that popped up after I upgraded to WP 2.1 (from 1.5) or from the recent updating of the iG plugin.

Anyone have any suggestions? I found the line of code in the PHP doing the swap, but don’t want to hack it if I can figure out whats going on.

[UPDATE]
Well.. I fixed it for now. I just turned off the visual editor for my WP profile. Users > Your Profile > Use the visual editor when writing.

It was an ugly win and nothing like their dominating play against the Colts and Broncos, but a win is a win. I was glad to see the Bus and Cowler get their Superbowl win. Both deserve it.

Two big plays — Parkers 75 yard TD run, and Randel Els TD pass to Ward.

Another year, another MacWorld SF and Steve Jobs doesn’t dissapoint again.

The new Mac Mini and iPod Shuffle are two pretty cool products. The new iLife suite is good upgrade and I am very glad to see iWork released. This will at least keep MS innovating with MS Office since Mac users now have a good cheap alternative besides just OpenOffice.

I would have liked to see speed bumps on the laptops and desktops. My guess is those annoucements are coming but will happen quieter and later (maybe next month). Today was about the inexpensive options for Apple.

Well.. once OSX 10.4 Tiger comes out (if not before), I will definitely consider getting the new Mini. It will sit on top of my Shuttle SFF and will be easier (and faster) than my old dual G4/500.

Well.. today I decided to start my own blog. My wife started up her blog some time ago as a sort of personal diary. I read tons of blogs but never felt I had enough to say.

I guess that is changing. I started fulltime freelance in November and recently started co-teaching a beginning Flash class at UNLV EDU Outreach. In the spring, I will be teaching an advanced ActionScript class. It should be lots of fun as I have always enjoyed sharing what I know. Plus — I will be getting paid for it

Anyhow.. stay tuned. I hope to post once a week, more or less.

Talk to you soon.
