Journal Journal: Not with a bang, but a whimper... 29

I've been on the dot for over ten years now, and that's only counting me contributing to the conversation. I lurked for at least a couple, three years before even posting. During that time I watched it grow and flourish. It went from a site that was entertaining to read while waiting for jobs to finish to a site that I checked regularly. It was during this Golden time that Teh Circle grew and there would be 20-30 JE's a day from interesting people all over the world. Great discussio

Comment Source Code (Score 2) 1

What bothered me about Source code is that the entire construct of the train and it's surroundings was created through mapping the brains of those present, or something along those lines IIRC. So, since the actual terrorist was not there for them to glean the information from, there was no way for him to see the van or anything in it, let alone the actual terrorist to have a conversation with.

I saw it in theatres and I remember really enjoying the fact that it was something different and original, but it bothered me that it didn't follow its own logic. I would've rather have him find the guy sooner, but then have to push past the barrier and have that what created the parallel universe, or whatever you want to call that different timeline.

But, all in all, very enjoyable. If it wasn't so new, different, and well done I probably wouldn't have held it to the higher standard, come to think of it...

It would be great to see you again! I'm trying to see if I can put togather an East Coast swing next summer and hopefully see you this time :-) We'll see though, a lot of things have to come together first...

It ended up being a very cool visit and, just to be different, Portland weather cooperated with us for a change!

There was a time when slashdot was a destination. Now it's just a service station bathroom break on the way to a different destination - on a good day.

This! I very rarely come here anymore, which is kind of sad. Many of the /. types I communicated with regularly are on twitter, and that accounts for most of my communciations with Teh Circle remnants.

I have hopes for G+ but have been too busy to really get into it yet (although I do have some invites) Hopefully we can reconnect there!

Hope all is well with you! (BTW, technolust is coming to Portland tomorrow, finally going to meet him in person with peacefinder)

Look, I'm not sure if someone else has already said this, but plug your android device into the computer, and (I think) enable USB debugging. You should be able to add it to Eclipse, and then the code will run on the actual device faster. WAY faster.

I found out by accident - was trying to test my software while my phone was plugged in to charge, and Eclipse swore blind that it was executing the code, but the emulator was nowhere to be seen. I unlocked the phone to make a call and almost wet myself with excitement, when I saw the latest version installed and running. It's so EASY once you start doing it like that.

Journal Journal: Zombies... In my Garage! 4

Friends of mine shared this short video with me done by some local teens for a class project. It's called Zombies... in my garage!, and it's a Zombie flick influenced by Run Lola, Run. It is very, very well done; totally worth the watch. (Luke727, I think you of all people will get a kick out of it)
