‘Push’ is Like ‘Heroes,’ But With Way More Action | Film School Rejects | First Look

Just caught this trailer on film school rejects. Looks quite good certainly better than some of the tat thats been released over the last few months. I've never really taken to Chris Evans though. Dakota Fanning's grown up :)

This leads me on Time is different in Hollywood. There's some kind of spatial distortion that means child stars grow up quickly, apart from Corey Feldman who has withstood the ravages of time (and copius drug abuse) as seen in the shots below



Lost Boys - One of the all time greats and released yearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs ago



Lost Boys 2 - The Tribe -annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd he doesn't look any different. The film though is shocking ;) Tv budget straight to dvd pap, wierdly though the head vampire is Kiefer Sutherland's half brother - the producers must've wanted to keep it real. I'm thinking that since the LARGE HADRON COLLIDER is out of action for the next 8 months or so then CERN could do a lot worse than to set up shop in LA and start to investigate 'Hollywood Time'

Meebo widgets

Well i have to say that the meebo widget has been a great success so far in providing expert help from our groups intranet site, however you gotta love this i got asked the following



"People have raised concerns that 'the meebo' could infect documents on the website with open source code"



I have pointed out that the widget is a Adobe Flash object and not 'Open Source' do we think that some general information sharing as to Open Source is required?

Adventures in Ubuntu

Well Day three has come and gone and i'm really enjoying the OS. Its smooth, quick, my laptop battery doesn't go down as quick. I'm most impressed by how easy the Open Office Suite is to use, i get emailed doc's and ppt's all the time to read and review and the interaction is seamless i can open, read, edit and save the documents and then send them all back using Microsoft's propietary formats. No one in CSC would know that they've been edited using Open Source software

Adventures in Ubuntu

Day 2
After using Sametime 7.5 and the Lotus Notes Web client, i decided to investigate WINE, this is an open source Binary compatability layer for linux that allows certain Windows programmes to be run natively in Linux, so as you can see, here's the proper Lotus notes client running on Ubuntu. Its all good!!

Adventures in Ubuntu

Adventures in Ubuntu.
Right i've decided to go Open Source, My IBM T42 is now dual boot and i'm running Windows XP (or rather i aim not too) and Ubuntu. So far Ubuntu is a doddle to install, nice friendly GUI, easier than Windows. I've decided to run this experiment for a month to see if i can do my job in the EIC without using Windows. I'm going to doc the trials and tribulations here. So far so good though, my machine now boots and turns on in seconds rather than minutes :) the main reason i'm attempting this is that i now have Corporate messaging systems in place that mean i don't have to rely on Microsoft. I've installed the Lotus samtime linux client and i'm using the web based Notes client. Linux HAVE released a notes client plugin but i'll doc that install later :)

Portal Tech

Sure everybodies seen this but how cool is this trailer? Portal one of the funniest game trailers i think i've ever seen, plus genius physics!

Collaborative environment

Check out OpenCroquet open source 3d interactive world toolkit kit built on Squeak and Smalltalk, i've donwloaded the beta, its quite cool, works differently to a multiplayer gaming environment as in there is no central server, rather it works on a peer to peer synchronisation format.

Display Tech

Things i'm looking at for the Innovation Centre in terms of display technology.
going to go and see an Israeli company called MagInk that make digital signage, its a lightweight as paper yet can transfrom itself with images (full colour) and will fun video at 50fps! seems cool

MagInk

Also going to go and see a company called Betaminds, they are UK resellers of a heliodisplay, now this is cool an image is projected onto a wall of compressed air, very high tech although the geeks out there will remember the same thing in Captain Bridger's stateroom in SeaQuest DSV (don't even ask how my memory remember stuff like this!!)
