Xanga
Well… i broke down and got my Xanga site all configured up. It looks okay… I wish i had more control over it. I will prolly just use it to store subscriptions to all of my friends Xanga accounts. Oh well here’s the link. ENJOY!! 🙂
Reflections
The new year has gotten me to reflect a lot more. I guess this being in the mist of biggest transistion of my life so far (being a student to being an IT professional) has started to wear on me a little bit more. I realize the value of seeking God in everything I do. …
Coach Carter
Well I went and seen Coach Carter this weekend, and I have to say I was a little surprised. MTV films has gotten better over the years and this one was decent. There were some questionable scenes which pushed the PG-13 rating to the limit. In my opinion if they had been taken out, it …
Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events
I saw A Series of Unfortunate Events this weekend and I have to say I liked it. This movie is a typical “fun for the whole family” type of movie. Jim Carrey did a great job with his role (or should I say roles) in the movie and it is just as good if not …
PHP/SWF charts
There is this really neat program called PHP/SWF Charts. It allows you to make incredible looking charts with ease. Just include the charts.php and change the default variables of the chart, and voila a beautiful looking chart that anyone could enjoy. This site also has plenty of useful examples and I was able to create …
Ocean’s Twelve
I went and saw Ocean’s Twelve two days ago and my initial reaction was it’s okay, but not better than the first one. That feeling still applies now. I thought the film was very different than the first one. I will definately have to see it a second time now that I know what was …
DOSBOX!!
I was on Slashdot today and someone posted a link to DOSBOX, a DOS emulation client that works in Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, BeOS, and FreeBSD. Happy days are here again. I MUST try this download.
Firefox New York Times Ad
The firefox ad in the NY Times is out today and I have to say I am impressed. I can’t believe an open-source browser would get this kind of attention. I hope this re-entergizes the browser market and makes Microsoft come out with better, more reliable versions of IE, because there are many average Joe …
Polar Express
I also saw Polar Express with Tom Hanks and I thought it was also a good Christmas film as well… BUT here’s my beef with it. I thought it really tried to kill the magic behind Christmas, without really telling what Christmas is about. I thought it touched a fine line and well… in the …
Christmas with the Kranks
I am really slow about blogging these days… anyway I saw Christmas with the Kranks this week and I have to say it was pretty good. I like Tim Allen and it has been a while since I seen a decent film with him in it. I also liked Dan Aykroyd, he was very funny …
Python 2.4 is out
The new version of Python is out now and I must check it out. 🙂 Homepage Release notes
Slashdot Extension
Being an avid slashdot reader, Firefox has some neat things out there to make my /. expierence more enjoyable. Not only does Firefox support RSS feed bookmark lists, but there is an extension out there for moderating posts called Slashdotter. It checks a particular user’s rating so you can get an accurate picture of what …
National Treasure
I saw Disney’s National Treasure this weekend and I have to say I was quite surprised. I thought the movie was better than I thought it would be. Nicolas Cage makes a good treasure hunter, but he is no Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford). Justin Bartha, the computer geek of the movie, did the geeks of …
The Incredibles
I saw The Incredibles TWICE this weekend and I have to say Pixar has really outdone themselves again. I thought that Toy Story 2 and Monsters Inc. were spectacular but the visuals in The Incredibles was just unbelievable. There was a shot of this rocket launch and I couldn’t tell if it was CG or …
Firefox 1.0 is here
The new firefox is out and I have to say that it is spetacular 🙂 The bug fixes that have been implemented have made the proformance of the browser at startup a lot better. I haven’t expierenced any difference in the speed of the browser yet, but I am sure once I start using it …
Changes
God is changing me. I have in the last week been so overwhelmed by the power of the Lord that I cannot deny what he is doing in my life. I see him everyday, more than I have in a while. Today, it has really hit me. It says in Acts 3:18-19 “For as I …
Healing Rain
I purchased the new Michael W. Smith song, Healing Rain, from the iTunes Music Store yesterday and I have listened to it about 10 times in a row because it really speaks volumes about me right now. I am in need of God’s healing rain. It says in 2 Corinthians 5:17: “Therefore, if anyone is …
Google your computer
Wow… Google is really coming up with some neat things lately. You can now google index your computer. That’s right you can perform google searches on your PC. Don’t waste your time searching the HD with the stupid Find utility. This O’Reily link has all the details on how to get started.
I got a MAC
Yes that is correct ladies and gentlemen I have a Mac. A 15 Powerbook to be more specific. This is an awesome toy for me. I plan on doing a lot of video editing and such with my church and this will assist me in that a ton. It is interesting how the Lord blesses …
Firefox Config page
Found this cool thing in Firefox today, the about:config page. It allows you to view tons of global browser variables and what they are set to. It will also allow you to edit, add, or delete vars as needed.
