I guess Leonardo da Vinci was right when he said “Art is never finished, only abandoned.” I seem to be unable to stop myself from adjusting “finished” released work. I can’t tell you how many times I have adjusted/fixed/changed the latest “Outtakes” episode since I officially released it. I’m gonna have to say about 10 times though. I thought it was perfect when I first uploaded it, but then I saw some errors, like someone was looking the wrong way, or a bottle was missing on the shelf, or the pause should of been longer for more dramatic effect, so I had to take it offline, play around and fix it and re-upload it.

Then I noticed that there was slow down and the audio didn’t sync up perfectly, and that some scenes weren’t crisp as I wanted to be. Well let me tell you, I have learned more about flash, and how to optimize it in the last 3 days then I have in the last 3 years. I joined a forum about flash that I should of when I first started, but thought it wasn’t necessary. I was wrong. But let me tell you, everything that has ever bothered me about the episodes has been fixed. Everything! I even had to delay writing this post so I can fix one more problem. I have an addiction.

On other news, I have changed the preloader a bit to include the cast, something more to look at I guess. As for announcements, I am prepared to announce that the main page will soon have a new better menu system, done all in flash(and a html version for losers) and it will include tons of easter eggs. I am also in the process of making a Taipei Days game, which can be played on the website. Now it will probably suck, but I am planning to release more than one.

After all of that is done, Season 2 of Taipei Days will begin. The new episodes will be longer, funnier, and in widescreen!

So go check out the newly updated episodes! Don’t forget to leave a comment, it encourages me to work faster and release better stuff. Taipeidays.com
