Hey! I'm Oli, I like to play around in Flash (the game development side, not animation), build websites (my most recent one being http://www.filewire.me for uploading stuff), and generally piss around trying to learn, but never getting particularly good at, new programming languages. So yeah, HI.
Hello Oli and welcome. It's good, you must have lot of fun programming in Flash. I was good at Director a long time ago, it was fun, but what killed it is the big size of its plugin (>3MB when Flash was at about 250KB) wihch was a big issue at the time of slow downloads. So Flash has started to be distributed with some browsers and Macromedia promoted it more than Director. Then Adobe bought Macromedia and they just went on. Anyway, just to say it's good you're having fun and making games, plus you probably link them with database stuffs, good. Hehehe, I don't do anything like that anymore, last time I was doing it was when working freelance, but I've stopped having interactions with customers several years ago. See you around.
You'll definitely enjoy your stay here, 'course the forum is just full of interesting people! Good luck to you!
