Bump. Hi guys, I always forget not to post on weekends. I never get any feedback from anyone when I do. Or maybe people were uncomfortable and didn't understand that my comments about Rich were a good-natured joke, given that his object frame inspired me to use most of my Saturday playing with it.
Any feedback on my use of Rich's object frame in http://giffmex.org/notes/infinitiddly.html or help you can give me on the hurdles I still face (see original post) would be great.
