Over the past few weeks have been working on and off on a new face for the main site, only to throw it away and start over again. It is giving me beans. I have an idea of what I want on the main page, have drawn out a plan, did the database design, now I don’t feel like working on it.
I am hoping to have it coded and working at least on my machine at home very soon (this is relative).
Well, me, over the past few we have we been working our collective arses off at the 9-5, and would like to have a little time to myself, maybe pickup a new laptop while I am at it, but the powers that be may not allow this to happen. I may have to get sick for a few days, hm not a bad idea: we will think about it.
Well, thats me.

Just took in Kung Fu Panda and Iron Man, both awesome.
Kung Fu Panda, had a nice wit about that I just love. The opening sequence with the dream, just legendary.
Iron Man, he used the suit like four times in the movie, it was all good. They built up a story and prepared us for the next flick, just sweet. More suit action is expected for the next movie. Producers & writers, no need to rush, we can wait for a good movie (well thought out, good plot, story; yes we love the last one the most).
Now, for those who have not seem either, I recommend going to the cinema, nothing can beat that huge ass screen and bad ass sound system.
Also, I downloaded the demo for Kung Fu Panda on the 360, it started off the same way as the movie. The demo is a bit short, but it will make a great addition to your kids collection. You can play it a few times also, well maybe not a few, probably just once. It was mad easy. Here is to hoping the game has a mad hard setting. The developers of the game played off the Pandas’ clumsiness and made some sweet moves out of them. Get the demo off the Xbox live, and play for the 15mins, then tell me what you think.
Well, I got to go, lots of work to finish for the morrow.

Ok, this weekend will be very hectic. We have one web page to finish, one movie to watch and a lot of other maintenance work to do.
Lets get our priorities straight. Tomorrow is the opening day of “Hulk”, must go see. I have yet to see “Iron Man”, that will have to wait to DVD or some pirate copy to fall on my desk.
The site, must do some flash and have a preview ready for monday for the client.
Maintenance. My server seems to have a faulty boot disk. This i must replace and in the same step move all my data off NTFS to ZFS. Lots of data, and very little that can be lost.
If anyone sees the “Hulk” before I do, post a quick comment about how it was. I will see it regardless of your thoughts, but I can then gauge my entry into the cinema.
Ah yes I almost forgot. Tomorrow is the birthday of some dude at work “Anton”, will go lime with those folks for a short before I come home to work my arse off. Can only hope it will be fun.

Good Day,
Those who follow the twitter feed will know that my long standing Speaker System (Altec Lansing APT5), Eight (8) years old, had the sub woofer die sometime this week.
I have since taken the shiznit apart and was only able to get to the 1AMP fuse and circuit board that controls the speaker input and output, everything else is sealed in the wooden part of the box. Now we have to find a new speaker system. This one was a 4.1 and all the good new models are 7.1 which I don’t need but would have to buy to get the same power I had with the APT5.
Now, here is where you guys come in. You submit some feedback on some mind blowing speaker systems then I go out and buy the best out of those you suggested. Top on the list right now is the Logitech Z-5500 Digital. If you have something better, drop me a line.

It would seem as though I have been neglecting to post on the blog as of late; twitter is much easier, and can be done from the berry.
I have been doing some development with cakePHP and all seems to be going fine, but now I have to do over some calls as they have been deprecated in the 1.2 RC1. Anywho, hopefully I can get the main sie off the ground after years of neglect.
