Ahu and I watched this after the X-Men movie tonight - a double feature. Quite an intriguing film with a bit of a twist at the end. Takes place in and around Seattle, Washington and an island off the coast. Just another reminder of the strange and disturbing events in the lives of others.
I recently found myself in need of some AA batteries. I discovered this when I was getting ready to leave work the other night to catch the Metra train downtown for class. So I was on a schedule - I could not miss the train - and yet I needed to make a quick stop somewhere to buy batteries. Since Home Depot is adjacent to the train station, I chose to go there. I drove up at 4:02 PM and parked the car. I walked into the store and made a beeline towards the checkout counters, knowing I would run into some sort of battery display on the way. I picked up my batteries enroute - a nice 12-pack of Duracell Ultra AAs to satiate my energy craving for awhile. It is now almost 4:04 PM.
A futuristic story (thus far) about a submarine cruising the polar ice cap which finds a hidden underwater submarine base (perhaps Russian) which contains life.
It's been a busy week. My last post was related to Narrative and so is this one. I am racing to get out some new features. These include:
I released a new version of ForkBender and Narrative this weekend. v0.6.0 is finally out. You will remember, of course, that Narrative is the Content Management System that enables me to create the content for this website. There have been a lot of changes in this release, some of which are visible to you:
I got the 2-disc version of the Matrix Reloaded soundtrack from Borders on recommendation from Carmen. After listening to the album several times, I must say it is an excellent soundtrack. It is as good, if not better, than the original Matrix soundtrack. I am listening to it even now as I write this review.
I recently had a strange experience with IIS 5 and some phantom virtual directories. When I write "phantom virtual directories" I mean that IIS is handling requests for virtual directories that no longer exist. This is a description of the events leading up to this:
I have come to the conclusion that one of the reasons I don’t like watching team sports is that I don’t want to develop any sort of identification with a team. When you watch a team – the Chicago Cubs, for instance – you can easily get caught up in the action and start feeling like part of the team (even if you never sit in the dugout). You feel as if the players are friends of yours. You even call them by their first names; not that they would ever know who you are.
