Bill Gates and Napoleon Dynamite?

Found this while playing around on You Tube. If you like Napoleon Dynamite you may find this funny.

I no longer work for America Online, Inc

It's true. I do not work for America Online, Inc. anymore. On Monday AOL officially changed its name to AOL LLC. This is the end of a 15 year old brand. It looks like this is mainly due to the deal AOL made with Google.

Relative Paths in Boxely

Developers have been asking us to support relative paths for some time now. Well, that time has come. Starting with the Boxely version 1.5 series the support for relative paths will be there. :-) The "base" directory is where the box file for the scene is being opened. For example, if you open a scene called bar.box from c:\foo, your base is c:\foo. So a path such as "theme/style.box" would resolve to "c:\foo\theme\style.box" From there you can access any of your other surrounding files or you could use a box url ("box://boxelyToolkit/...") to access the toolkit (or other files) in the EE hive.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?import href="theme/style.box"?>

  xmlns="http://www.aol.com/boxely/box.xsd"

  <script id="main" language="jscript" href="script/myScript.js"/>

It's Spring in VA


It is spring time in VA. That means time for allergies and yard work. The cherry tree in our front yard is in full bloom now. It was a nice day to be outside. If the weather is good tomorrow maybe I will take a nice long bike ride, instead of working on Boxely stuff. ;-)
