Mozilla has released a new preview of their next generation browser. Version 0.7 was called Firebird and 0.8 is now called Firefox. I use it as my main browser.
If you are a web developer, the Web Developer and EditCSS extensions are must haves. Some of the other extensions I use are CuteMenus and Tabbrowser.
Try it out, I’m sure you’ll love it!
I wasn’t too sure about this movie when I saw the previews, but thought I’d watch it since a friend let me borrow it. To tell you the truth, I didn’t care for it. It’s not a horrible movie, but nothing spectacular either. One viewing is plenty for me.
The acting was good, but the story just wasn’t believable. There was a lot of action and shooting, but nothing I haven’t seen before. I thought the plot was actually pretty boring. For big names like Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Johnny Depp, Eva Mendes, Enrique Iglesias, and Cheech Marin I really expected a whole lot more.
I noticed a lot of errors in the movie. More than once blood or fruit was splattered on the camera. The greatest part of the movie was a scene where two guys walked out into gunfire and one of them was holding his hands up like a little kid pretending to have guns. Two seconds later, he was magically holding pistols!
I’m going to have to give this movie a C- because it failed to deliver with so many stars in the cast.
Didn’t feel the greatest this morning, so I decided to call in sick. 😐
When I first saw the commercials on TV for this movie, I knew it was one I wanted to see. It has high school sports, a coach known by everyone in a small town, and a good story. That usually makes for a good movie. I didn’t get the chance to see it in the theaters, so I bought the DVD as soon as it was released. Today I finally made some time to watch it.
Ed Harris played the head football coach who took “Radio” (Cuba Gooding Jr.) under his wing and gave him a chance to make something of his life. There was controversy created in the town because Radio was spending so much time around the high school kids and the coach stood up for him. Both Harris and Gooding played their parts well.
One thing that makes the movie great is that it is based on a true story. At the end of the movie they showed video clips of the real coach and also of Radio. It makes you feel good that there are people out there that give somoene like Radio a chance in life and really make a difference. It really is a movie everyone should watch.
I’ll have to give this movie an A-.
After the bad news yesterday I decided to get drunk. If you ask anyone that was with me last night, I think they would tell you that I succeeded. I must have drank enough beer to kill a small horse! On the way home, I was even lucky enough to hang my head out the window and puke on Heather’s car. I’m actually feeling pretty good today. It’s amazing what enough sleep and drinking water will do for a hangover. It was a fun time with good friends.
As far as the job…
Something better will come along. Things happen for a reason. It’s their loss, not mine.
They offered the programming job to the other guy, so I guess it’s back to the job searching… 😕
-Went skydiving!
-My mom would hate for me to try bungee jumping.
-7.5
-When I take risks driving, I usually get where I’m going much faster.
-Almost getting in few accidents.
These were a couple of tough questions to think about.
Duke vs. North Carolina.
The greatest rivalry in college basketball. Tonight’s game was at North Carolina and it was an awesome game. The Duke Blue Devils will be driving back home to Durham, North Carolina as a team that has won 16 straight games and holds onto the #1 ranking in the country. It was a great game to watch and will be an ESPN Instant Classic. The final score ended up 83-81, but you had to see the game to know how great it really was.
GO DUKE!
Still no news on the job. They were supposed to make their decision this week, so I should find out tomorrow. Things have been getting worse around the office with Doug being out for two weeks with a broken arm and now all of the network and Internet problems that are going on. Students, faculty, and staff are calling left and right with problems accessing the Internet and we don’t have any solutions. I don’t even like to say “we” in this case because we (Help Desk) are not in charge of the network and don’t have any control over it, so of course we don’t have any solutions. What we don’t have are answers, because they (Networking) don’t have the solutions. Understand? It is just very frustrating to have to tell people that things are not working and that the causes are unknown.
I ordered a new computer today from Dell. They have a pretty sweet deal going on right now for a server. It has a free upgrade from a Celuron processor to a Pentium 4 2.26 GHz, comes with a 40 GB hard drive, and all the basics. It doesn’t come with any software, but I plan to install Linux on it, so that’s not a big deal. The only real thing it needs is a memory upgrade since it comes with a wimpy 128 MB. I should be able to pick up 512 MB for under $100. So it cost me $423 for the server, has a $100 mail in rebate, and free shipping. After purchasing the extra memory it’ll cost me about $400 for the new computer. My tax refund will be put to good use! 🙂
