Because I’ve not posted anything in quite some time, I thought I would just let everyone know that I’ve recently moved shellscript and a number of my other hosted domains e.g skyerosetti.co.uk (sisters blog / art gallery) and retrorobot.co.uk (TV mistakes project) over to a new web host; and everything seems to be working fine. As well as cost-cutting, it also seems, to me at least, that the access speeds are slightly faster than my previous web host – which is always good to know.
On top of all that, I also got a free domain of my choosing thrown in with my new web hosting package, which I’ve decorated accordingly.
Now that’s all out of the way, my next step will be a much-needed upgrade of wordpress.
Here are two short films I came across last week and thought were pretty neat. The first is called ‘Signs’, which is a romantic story about communication, created by Patrick Hughes. And the other short film is called ‘World builder’ which is about a man that creates a world for the woman he loves using holographic tools. World builder was created by Bruce Branit, who is widely known as the co-creator of ‘405‘. Apparently it only took Branit one day to shoot the footage for ‘World builder’. He then spent 2 years editing & developing it.
Snow again today, so I decided to go out and build a snowman. I also dragged my sister out to help, but she had other ideas and made a snowcat instead. It looks pretty impressive. I think it beats my odd-looking snowman, which has half an apple for a nose, traditional sticks for arms and unconventional shreddies for the eyes, mouth and buttons. It’s also sporting a red beret. Head on over to my sister’s blog to check out all the images.
Heroes is back tonight in the US, so that means it wont be long before it airs over here in the UK. Though I have to say, I was quite disappointed with volume 3. Perhaps it was the fact that Zachary Quinto’s character (Sylar) couldn’t decide if he was good or bad.
Or maybe it is how irritating Hayden Panettiere’s character, Claire, has become – constantly moaning and whining about everything. The most annoying thing about it all is that you know she can’t be killed. Even after she had lost her powers and died – she still came back from the dead. Maybe they need a new slogan? ‘Kill the cheerleader, save the show‘. But that’s just my opinion.
But with that all said and done, I am still actually looking forward to Volume 4. I just hope it gets a lot better than it has been.
Thanks to the efforts of a few hard core fans, Broken Sword 2.5: The Return of The Templars, has been released. This unofficial sequel to the Broken Sword series takes place between Broken Sword II and Broken Sword III. 2.5 also brings back the classic 2D comic-style, point & click interface that made the first two Broken Swords so great to play.
Unfortunately for the moment all the voice actors are in German, though English subtitles are included. The good news however is that they are currently under-way recording the English voices. I just hope they some how manage to get a hold of Rolf Saxon, fingers crossed.

Just thought I’d add to the hype after going to see the Dark Knight at the weekend. All I can say is that it’s brilliant. Fantastic. I’m afraid there’s not enough words to describe how great it is. Clearly a masterpiece. It’s dark, sinister, complex…Believe all the hype you read, I was so impressed with the Dark Knight that I’m even considering going to see it again.
Being a huge fan of the Terminator films but NOT the TV Show – and yes I watched every episode – I can tell you that I’m looking forward to the next instalment in the terminator franchise, “Terminator Salvation – The Future Begins”, which is set several years after judgement day – so after all the glimpses of a possible future war between man and machine in the last 3 films we will finally get a detailed look at the horrifying future, and will be able to fill in some of the blanks from the time after the war starts to the day they send back the T-800 series. It’s going to be great. I can’t wait.
Plot: (source: IMDB) “Set in post-apocalyptic 2018, John Connor (Christian Bale) is the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and it’s army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet’s operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind”
Ever had a user register on your blog and not really been 100% on whether they’re a real person or just another annoying spam bot? Most of the time you can tell the difference pretty easily, but every now and again you get one that looks normal but just seems a little too odd to be genuine.
Well if you’re just as paranoid as me, you could always double check them against stopforumspam.com. I’ve actually discovered that a couple of my very own subscribers were known spam bots by checking them against the stopforumspam.com website.
Remember it’s not paranoia if they really are spam bots.
