In just 2 days, I hacked together the administrative portion of my projects site (a lot of copy/paste). It works but not as elegant as it should be (I wanted everything to be ajax based), but all the features I need are there. I can attach downloads, silverlight applications, images and video to my updates. It is also trivial for me to add additional types. Wondering what the first project should be. Maybe something simple to get the ball rolling. Oh no I got Heavy Rain (PS3) in the mail...

With my Netflix subscription, I have not been drawn to the movie theater in over a year, maybe two. I think my last time was The Dark Knight. I had only got a tiny taste of 3D at the Universal Studios Terminator 3D ride and the word on the street was that this was much more subtle.
Knowing almost nothing about the story (except the criticism that is was copied from movies X, Y, and Z) I was pleasantly surprised how much into it I was. Neytiri, the main female 'alien' was an incredibly strong and likable character that, by the end of this 260 minute masterpiece was difficult not to develop some kind of emotional attachment.

Technically the visuals were groundbreaking. I had problems with blurring for the first five to ten minutes but by the end of the film I had forgotten I was watching a movie. Pandora is a work of art, kudos to the artists. I do wonder if a sci-fi will ever have characters that are not some mutation from humans. I hope it translates well onto Blu-ray because I already gave it five stars and added it to my queue.
Go see this movie! NAO!

This past week I have made a lot of progress working on the administrative portion of the site. Going through periods with a lack of motivation seems to be the norm for me. At last I can add and edit stories and videos without directly accessing SQL tables, yea! I still think it was a good idea to scrap what I had and jumped on the ASP.NET MVC bandwagon, my code is much cleaner as a result. I once heard that a good programming solution requires 2 complete rewrites, so one more to go. Maybe WCF RIA? The administrative portion of my projects site has yet to be started, which explains the lack of updates.
I expect updates more frequently from now on, not that I even advertise this site. So down the black hole of the internets this goes with the rest of my posts :)
