Lately

I’ve watched the first 5 episodes of “Battlestar Galactica” season 3 and, so far — I like it. It’s still very “on the edge” and very intriguing (as opposed to, I don’t know, “Lost”?). But the fifth episode (“Collaborators”) kind of annoyed me. Of course, it all had to happen, it’s a plausible consequence of war, yadda3, but it just seemed a bit…weird. I can’t put a finger on what exactly bugged me, but I know that I don’t usually shout “Oh, come on!” every 5 minutes when watching my favorite TV show.

After reading about “Heroes” on Blogography, I just had to see the show (not because Mr. Simmer didn’t like the first two episodes, but simply because it’s SF — I felt obligated, you know?). So I sat down and watched the first two episodes. And then, a couple days later, I watched the next four in a row. I guess the conclusion is obvious: I like it a lot. And yes, it’s not exactly a fast-paced show, but I feel it’s got just the right tempo. It kept me occupied for 3 hours without even thinking about the time and I’m really looking forward to the next episodes. Hopefully, the creators won’t blow this one.

What else… Oh — it seems that I’m not the only one with a poor purple monkey. Here’s a post on B3TA boards that clearly shows another case of the, ahem, eye disorder.

Industri has entered a beta phase and I’m looking forward to testing it out. Tig has ported it to Doom3 engine and I just hope he’ll find time to finish it one day.

I’ve coded the HTML for Up&Underground magazine’s website. It runs on WordPress 2.0.4 with some minor tweaks. The site is in Croatian. It was designed by my friend Lina Kovacevic.

I’ve ported my own site to WP (locally), but I have yet to find the time and the will to upload it and replace the current version. I didn’t touch the design due to lack of time (I’m back in ‘school‘ once again) and ideas. That also means that I’ve skipped the November CSS Reboot, but it seems I’m not the only one. I guess the event has lost its charm, and it probably takes a B. Adam Howell (where’s he hiding lately?) charisma to pull it off properly.

James Brown performs in Zagreb today. I didn’t want to go. I just don’t like him. He is the funktastic break-the-beat-and-hit-me daddy-o, but I’m not really a fan. I know who he is, and I’m thankful for the beats and inspiration, but that’s it. Also, I must say that I was quite disappointed by Public Enemy’s performance last month. They were so bad that I had to get dead drunk and bow down to the porcelain god the next morning. Their comic sucked too.

Regarding my previous post:
In my own humble words of conclusion, Microsoft’s Expression Web designer (why not stick with Frontpage, eh?) is a solid copy of Dreamweaver, but with standard Office look. It’s a good tool (as far as I can tell, from my brief encounter), but it’ll have to be half the price of Dreamweaver when it comes out, if it’s to succeed. Time will tell.

And my time tells me it’s time to watch TV now ;)

The cyborg army has taken my favorite mall hostage…

Hello world.

I’ve been wanting to write for weeks now, but my own CMS has become the very thing that stops me from doing that. It’s ugly, unfinished, and lacking features. I’ll be moving on to WordPress soon — It’s got all I need, and yet it’s simple to use and set up.

So, my dear faithful visitors (the 5 of you), have I wasted 3 and a half years ‘developing’ this CMS? Luckily — no, I really don’t think so. I’ve learned PHP, MySQL, and the basics of C by coding it. But I’m one, I’m lazy, and I’ve definitely lost the inspiration. When your own creation turns against you, you gotta pull the plug.

From now on, I’ll put my time and energy into recording sounds and collecting materials for my own sample CD’s, because, in the end, that is the reason why I’ve bought the Tascam and the SE3 mics.

I’ve been recording a lot during this summer and I hope you’ll all be able to hear (and enjoy) the fruits of my labor soon.

Next on my list is Rode NT4 stereo mic, and then, later — I’ll probably go for the Sony PCM-D1 for some pocket-size pro quality recordings (if nothing better hits the market in the following months).

In other news: Akismet works just fine and I’m grateful.

Love, peace, harmony… bah, I forgot the last one.

rave on.
