Audio Palette Crash Error: Nice One... , originally uploaded by Gregory Tipton.

This is not strictly an alert or error, so please forgive me.

Following an "Audio Palette Crash Error," whatever *that* may be, an entire After Effects pane went um.... corduroy.

I think this one speaks for itself...

Leopard Get's Kinda Rude, originally uploaded by Gregory Tipton.

This is the icon / image that greeted me when I attempted to access my XP machine tonight via the Mac Pro running Leopard. Ouch. I think the Apple folks are hitting a little below the belt with this one.

Even if it *is* their fault....

Wait, What Was That?

Ok, Vimeo... ummm... Wait, so you're telling me that video uploading has been disabled...

Or are you saying that things are running just a little slow and I should keep going...

Because if you want me to keep going, I can try to do that... But, if uploading has indeed been disabled, I can't very well keep loading these files "up" to your website... and I am afraid that all my efforts will likely be wasted...

I'm really confused now.

I Want Candy....

I especially like the "candy-stripe" effect., originally uploaded by Gregory Tipton.

I was somewhat impressed that After Effects used a word like "invoking," but I was even more amazed with how this particular "crash" effected the colors of the alert panel. I especially like the "candy-stripe" effect.

Please note that the rest of the computer display was unaffected by the Spirit of Christmas.

'No Go' - Delta's In-Flight Internet Service

'No Go' - Delta's In-Flight Internet Service, originally uploaded by Gregory Tipton.

I really enjoyed my time NOT being able to surf the world-wide-web on my somewhat recent Caribbean-Atlantic Delta flight.

Funny thing... They even talked on the P.A., while we were taxiing on the runway, about how great this new WiFi feature was going to be... I was looking forward to it.

Bummer...

Cryptic After Effects Error

After Effects Error, originally uploaded by Gregory Tipton.

This was an After Effects error I had never experienced in my 15 years of being a regular user of the app.

Thankfully, I haven't seen the error again since this occurance.

How Many Trasheses Can One Computer Have?

Too Many Trashesezz, originally uploaded by Gregory Tipton.

Evidently the virtual trash cans were everywhere.... and when an attempt was made to empty one of them, a new 'empty the trash' message would pop up on top...

Bwahahaha! This was nothing a hard-boot couldn't fix!

Wake up Neo.
