The last couple o weeks have been real busy, as usual, so my posts may be sporadic at times.
Besides my regular daytime job, I’ve been trying to wrap up a draft for scrolling flash widget.
Besides, who isn’t making scrolling flash widgets these days.
This widget uses a blend of scripting languages.
It uses JavaScript to interact with flash on the skins and colors, etc.

You can play around with the skins and colors here.
The flash object reads XML that is outputted from an url connection to a php file.
The php file is parsing, you guessed it, the coolest developer API around, eBay’s Web Services.
Right now, its not actually redirecting on the links, its just echoing the redirect URL.
Keep in mind, if your developing these widgets, etc. as an eBay
affiliate, if the widgets are hosted on an eBay page, like the view
item page (item description), any eBay web site page, it cannot contain your affiliate link.

Recession may be just a way of the economy getting sick and throwing up excessive competition and goods.

Only the strong survive and get stronger, eat up the work from the excessive competitions that went under.
Can it be the financial institutions fault for causing it and then scream for help when they see they’ve made a boo-boo. They finance the excessive competition then cry when the businesses cant pay their loans.

For someone to have a better living standard, someone has to give up some of theirs.
Europe is allowing various new countries into the EU where the minimum wage is like 1/4 of the average in France/Germany.  Some employers, like in Germany for exmple, hire the labor from these low wage countries or move there, competition once again, so national employees have a hard time finding a new job as well as losing the old one.
Immigration is always good, as long as everyone gets treated equal.
