JOURNAL - Halo 2, Business Plan and a Dalmenguin
Tuesday, November 30, 2004
Just a quick note to self to say, "well done you played well today".
I am now up to level 9 on rumble pit. I always start off slow, coming 7th, then I usually finish in the first 4 for the later games. I want to link this post to a game but it hasn't appeared on bungie yet.
I figure I should also mention, that although I have had very little work this term (convenient for Halo 2 and GTA), I have had one mammoth business plan assignment to complete. 5000 words and I was done and quite pleased with the results. I now await the marks.

JOURNAL - The Incredibles and Operation Dumbo Drop
Sunday, November 28, 2004
Yesterday I spent some time reworking this website to incorporate
blogger. I am so far happy with the results. There are a few little
nick pick things to sort out, but overall things are good. During the
time that I wasn't site designing, I watched two films, "The
Incredibles" and "Operation Dumbo Drop".
Operation Dumbo Drop was on ITV1, it was basically a Vietnam story telling of how a small group of five had to transport an elephant across Vietnam without getting killed, ending with them and the elephant parachuting out of a cargo plane. It's a Disney film and was based on a true story. I laughed at the jokes and enjoyed the film starring Danny Glover and Ray Liotta. I'd recommend it as one of those random films you catch on TV that turn out to be quite entertaining. (Recently also seen "An American Werewolf in London" and "Holiday for Love" which were similarly good).
I went to see The Incredibles at the cinema. I loved it. It was brilliant in every way. The jokes were original, they didn't rely on pop culture for their laughs and they didn't setup a sequel (despite the opportunities). The storyline wasn't from a Disney formula either (as with Finding Nemo). My faith in Pixar has been firmly restored and I look forward to their ventures without Disney. Without spoiling anything, I'd like to mention a couple of scenes I particularly enjoyed: 1. The kitchen family argument scene. 2. The flying choppers after Dash scene.

I am using Google's "Picasa" and Picasa's "Hello" to publish via google's "Blogger" my new desktop setup. It automatically takes a desktop screenshot, sends it to the blog, uploads it, resizes and makes thumbnails and add this caption. Now I just click publish. Simple and easy. This is why I changed from cutenews, which, although I enjoyed using, was just very fussy.Labels: Desktop
