Who is AFW?

I love payday. It's a glorious day today. I woke up a little earlier than usual, so I managed to make a stop at Tim's to get some coffee before work. The weather outside is oh-so-unfrightful. A beautiful autumn day. The kiddies must be very pleased for this day to be their hollow's eve. I'm becoming more and more of a Tom Rathe I'm finding. So I said To the man who knew: "Where are they going? And what do they carry? And why do they hurry so?" A.F.W. ... Does anyone know who A.F.W. is?

My goal, before this weekend began, was to have a successful one. Last weekend sort of flew by.

It's now all created in Flash as opposed to Swish. I did this for the pure and simple versatility of Flash, while Swish has more limitations (though was easier in the initial code process). The point is while things may not look so different now, they will. Oh how they will...because, as I said, Flash allows me to do much more.

Before I go on to other things, I'd like to throw in some key behind-the-scenes things I've coded into this baby. Like how all these blogg entries are being pulled in from a delightful little XML document, so that I can manage and properly maintain all my posts. The reason for this: Load times. Have you
