I recently had a problem that some of my Flash programs were not behaving correctly when served from my http://disemia.com/ website. This led to a very difficult situation of being able to properly test my flash. (more…)

There are a few important factors which must be considered (more…)

• a war in Iraq prevents proper drilling/production
