Good browser progress today
I am very happy with my progress today.

The browser is loading an IMML document with four scenes in it. Navigation buttons are being created on the fly as Image Objects. Shapes and text are working and on the fourth scene there is a Quicktime movie.

Tomorrow I want to look at making some content.

The storm outside is still going for it. They just said on the TV the trams have stopped.

Amsterdam Storm Trogging

That's what I'm doing now, writing my web log on my powerbook on a tram (trogging), in a big storm going across Amsterdam.

I have not seen the wind so strong since I've lived here.

I was looking to get a before and after shot of the green leaves. Too late, all gone. Only the brave bike riders are out. As for me, I don't want to end up in the canal.

The good side of riding bikes in Amsterdam.

I have never been much of a bike rider until I moved to Amsterdam. The Dutch are mega-bikers (the peddle type). The whole city has bike lanes everywhere. You get to go before the cars, but not the bastard taxis. Tourist are fair game and you get more points the bigger they are. A great trick is to get a really loud horn on your bike and sneak up behind tourists then scare the crap out of them.

The bad side of riding bikes in Amsterdam.

Tram tracks are not your friend. Trams are not your friend. Taxi's are the enemy.

OOPS, almost trogged it past my stop.
