Lord of War

I watched Lord of War today, and although some parts were disturbing, they were neccessarily disturbing, as they didn't make anything up... shit that happened in this movie was real and wasn't a fantasy, and watching it made it that much more disturbing. It brings up a lot of good questions, especially about war. Is it wrong to supply arms to people to kill? How about to defend themselves? Well those positions can be switched depending on what side you're viewing it from. Is it the gun traders that cause the death, or are the people pulling the triggers the responsible ones? I highly recommend this film to any intelligent person, who likes to get different perspectives on things. Nicolas Cage was excellent as an actor and a narrator, and the film was intense, emotional and disturbing because deep down it was extremely realstic (at the end of the film it even says it was based on true events and real people). Click on the poster to the left to see it full size (make sure your browser doesn't resize it. It's an amazing poster.. look closer.)

Using Quicktime to watch XviD

Quicktime doesn't suck anymore!

Intel Macs Get XviD

This is a big deal, deserving of it's own post. Even if it just returns results in google for random people to see, this information has to get around because it's so useful.

Download Manager 3
  • I lived with Ben on Cartier
  • I was with Linzie


So I've started work on a third version of Download Manager, this time creating it with C#, rather than VB. I'm obviously rebuilding it from scratch, throwing in all the features present in the previous two versions, as well as adding more functionality, added features and as well as more effecient performance.

I'm working on it slowly, so it won't be finished any time soon, but I've got a good feeling I won't just give up on this one. You can look for it probably by the end of the month.

I know Tony and myself are the only people who use it, so I'm not in any hurry. I just like to pretend people would be open enough to realize how handy it could be. I'll be creating a section for it on my website when it comes closer to release... so, until then, jsut forget about it.

I've been playing a lot of Dragon Warrior 3 and 4 lately, and I'm pretty far in 4... chapter 4 to be exact. Probably my least favorite chapter but it's still lots of fun, and like I've said before, it brings back good memories.
