I redid my personal homepage. I realize it’s not nice to put something as processor-intensive as Perlin Noise as a background, but given how simple this page is, it’ll pass.

Rather than do a complete Flash page, this page is actually using a Flash page background with HTML sitting over top. Nothing special, you can check the source if you’re interested in how I did it.

Just reposting this from my CCNY class.
Here’s a short list of some of the Firefox extensions I use when developing:

• Firebug by Joe Hewitt – development tool allows you to edit Web pages within the browser.
• Web Developer by Chris Pedrick – a tool bar full of developer goodies, like enable/disable CSS, JS, etc.
• FlashTracer by Alessandro Crugnola – allows you to see trace statements within the browser during runtime (requires a Flash Player 9 Debugger Version). This extension can be pretty amusing, as it’s interesting to see what trace() statements other Flash developers have left in their live sites.
• Flash Switcher by Alessandro Crugnola – allows you to switch Flash Player plugins or remove the plugin (works with Mac, too).

If anyone has recommendations of other plugins I should be using, I’d love to hear it.
