Roundup

Rob — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 08:03:59 +0000

I’ve been pretty busy of late, so I thought I would just write a quick recap of whats been going on, and what happened with previous posts.

Epic Server Rebuild – The Prelude

This has almost stalled because of some MAJOR problems with the existing hardware. It’s all running again, but the server doesn’t have automated downloading right now, and the media center is currently running from my spare Acer Revo.

Terry Pratchett’s Going Postal

Now, much to my dissappointment, this was all in all a “Meh!” film. I was far more impressed with Hogfather than Going Postal. It felt like they were simply going through the motions. The film had the essence of the book, but left out so much story, that they have to fabricate sections just to tie what was left together.

Last Airbender Movie

Oh dear LORD what did they do to my beloved Airbender?! It was obvious that not one of the cast had watched even a single episode of the original show. This was just, plain and simply, painful! Sometimes I forget, what a powerful bender M. Night Shyamalan is.

Prince Of Persia Movie

Now, on the other hand, I liked this, simply because they managed to take the basic story of the prince of persia, and turn it into a good film. Most people will hate this because it doesn’t follow the story of the game, but I personally think that game stories don’t work in movies. I believe that this was a pretty good attempt. Not the best, but certainly not the worst.

Coming up

I’ve added a new section to the site, Presentations, which I will be filling with any presentations I do for work, or at conferences, if I ever get the chance. The first talk will be about “Internal Design”, and how disciplined coding principles will help yourself and others who work on the project.

Adobe Flash Player is required to view the video.

Sorry, I’ve had to YouTube this, because Sky haven’t released the Embed code for the video and I don’t want to break any rules. As it is, they have started advertising on their stream, so I wasn’t too happy with adverts getting played on my site

I know it’s incredibly geeky childish of me, but I really loved the TV series “Avatar: The Last Airbender”. Brilliant stuff. Something from America which finally comes close to the standard that Japan have been producing for the last 50years.

I’m really looking forward to this, and I know a lot of my friends are too.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010)

I just found out about the new Prince of Persia movie coming next year. This could either be a complete and utter flop, or end up being a great movie. I’m going to hope for the best, but expect the worst. Either way, it’s yet another film to add to my calender.

Tron: Legacy

I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to see this now. It was the first movie I became a fan of where I was a kid. I even had the poster on my wall.

Anyway, check out this new trailer which I got sent on facebook this-morning:
