To watch this video from Microsoft regarding the upcoming IE 9’s support for standards and interoperability, you are prompted to install Silverlight.
So much for standards….
As always, they suck. All of you people: STOP. USING. IE
Oh the irony. I wasn’t about to install the latest version of Silverlight so I have not actually watched the video though. The only hope for IE9 is that IE6 will finally die off (but that sucker will probably stay alive).
I’ve barely been to classes, barely been to sleep, barely been on the internet (yeah, shocker)… Modern Warfare 2 has been taking up my life. The multiplayer is fun, ridiculously so. However, I must stop! I have labs coming up, and deadlines as well. Can’t keep being such a recluse. Must stop the obsession.
I thought writing here again would be a good step.
Sadly I find myself absolutely swamped with work, and my labs start over the next month too. I recently just finished a coursework calculating some space craft manoeuvres and a landing, but more just pops up. Sadly, I had to make some sacrifices for my time, giving up my usual internet surfing, for my gaming; between Uncharted 2 (which I am trying to get Platinum in) and Modern Warfare 2 (which multiplayer rocks more than ever!) I find myself fully booked and still nearly over worked. Just a little explanation for my disappearance over the last week.
Letterbox, was a life saver. I love reading my mail in 3 columns, it made more sense and I got to see the content easier, taking advantage of my widescreen display. With the new system update to 10.6.2 however, it now seems incompatible and Mail disables this plugin, and I miss it entirely. Would it be that hard for Mail.app to actually have a three column mode available in its preferences?
The ghostly discovery app is simply amazing. I have been a big fan of many of the artists with the Ghostly International Label, and this app just makes hearing them and finding more so amazingly simple and slick. You pick your mood from the colour wheel, anything from aggressive to contemplative, pick between organic and digital, and finally a speed, and you will get an automatically arranged playlist to suit your mood and taste for it. Great job done here and the music is absolutely fantastic. You have got to give it a go. Best thing is; it’s free!
Check out their site or straight on iTunes.
Somehow or another, my flatmates and I found ourselves in possession of 288 cans of beer in one go, so like any good engineers out for a laugh, we decided to build this monstrosity. Our first attempt fell on us but that did not deter us from having another go.
Photography was done on my Canon EOS 450D with the standard lens kit. The lapse was unfortunately done with no tripod and at odd intervals as this was done with very little planning. Next time for something like this, I will endeavour to get a better time lapse. That will probably be my next project.
The music is ‘Technologic’ by Daft Punk, done on suggestion by Adam. Editing for video was done using Quicktime 7 Pro and iMovie. This is my first video project ever and I quite like it, and hope to do more.

Movie Trailer of the Day: First official trailer for Mike Newell’s big-screen adaptation of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
The film, which stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, and Ben Kingsley, is due in theaters May 28, 2010
I am speechless. I have heard rumours and such but I didn’t expect nearly this awesome a looking movie to come from this. As a big ‘Prince of Persia’ fan, I am so excited for this!
Oh boy, this has me excited. I loved the old remote but my head definitely turned when I saw this. I forgot to order it when I ordered the Magic Mouse and thought I could pick it up at the Apple Store today to which I found out it is not out yet. I am saddened. Apple, make your release dates clearer! However, I must admit this is an instant want for me. Maybe I can get to turn a few more heads the next time I do a presentation…
