I seriously can't believe this. It is the biggest news ever to hit modern graphic design.The acquisition is subject to closing conditions including approval by the stockholders of both companies and regulatory approvals. Adobe and Macromedia expect to finalize the merger by Fall of this year.

Well it's done!
I have finally completed my part of the public transphere project. It turned out incredible and I think that it is commercially viable. I mean I know other companies put out similar technology but jesse and I are able to do it cheaper. The site actually maps in real-time now thanks to Mickelson's Law.

Tomorrow I have to finish my poetry project and begin finishing the clothing project. Then its time to work on the site and the thesis.

Public Transphere
Take 600 - Despite all the drama with the address and latitude/longitude mixups I have managed to get something up and working. Both the streaming server and the map that can get readings from the database. Right now it just loads up random stop values, but it works!!!! Should be done tomorrow. That gives me one day to work on my own project.

The world is flat
Jesse and are ar spending the entire evening driving around the city collecting GPS data. It is fucking annoying. I hate GPS. It never seems to be accurate. I did ,however, learn a forumla for converting old formal geographic data to new decinimal format.

degree + (60 * minutes) + (3600 * seconds) = decimal value for location
Use it wisely and you will live long and propsper. thank god for my extreme math skils and thanks to (e:shawnr) for getting us the formula.
