{mosimage}What a boring movie. Talk about long winded. Hey, Ron Howard, you could have easily shaved off 45 minutes and it might have been a half decent movie.

As it was, the movie moved with a fast pace and then dead smack in the middle, it just stopped. We were then subjected to a couple of anti-climaxes and then it was over.



Of course, this didn't stop people from seeing what all the fuss was about. The Da Vinci Code has "opened with the second largest worldwide gross in history -- an estimated $224 million, $77 million of which came from the U.S. market. The total was exceeded only by last year's Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith, which premiered with $254 million." And Episode III eats the Code for lunch, dinner and breakfast.



The best things about this movie were Sir Ian McKellen's acting (of course) and the new glass Louvre.

"South-East Queensland residents have been startled by a bright, green ball of streaking light that initially sparked fears of a plane crash." It is now believed to have been a Meteor Shower.

"I had a number of phone calls specifically from the eastern part of Australia regarding a meteor shower that has come through and broken up into a few pieces."

The Astronomical Association of Queensland's Peter Hall told ABC Radio: "It sounds like a meteor to me.

"Most of them are the size of a grain of sand but this one must have been larger."
Sounds a bit extravagant (and early) for a Superman Returns' promotional stunt :P

{mosimage}May 1st Reboot Day is the unofficial holiday on the web, which refers to the date when web developers / designers apply a new design to their site, a "spring clean", if you will.


I'd been working on getting my site ready but my host went down and this delayed the redesign. I ended up purchasing a new hosting account, so it's actually a big change going on here.


Please bare with us over the next couple of days as the transition is usually a little bumpy. Anyway, here's my new design, even though it's not 100% complete.


Update: If you're viewing this site with Internet Explorer, you will notice it looks fubared. Funnily, the site looks great in Firefox and Safari and after all, isn't that what really matters ;).



Update 4/5: After reading that IE doesn't actually support XHTML, I've decided there is no point in me applying IE-hacks to my code just so it works properly in that browser. So, you can't view this site with IE. You will be redirected to my Say NO to IE page, instead.



Update 9/5: I've now made my site accessible to IE users, after they have seen my "Say NO to IE" page first. Your browser will then set a cookie, which means you can then view our site with IE for a day and then you will be prompted with the "Say NO to IE" page again. This is mainly for people who have no control over what browser they're viewing this site with. If you do have control, do yourself a favour and use Firefox or Get a Mac.

I've been toying around with the idea of doing a podcast for awhile now and I thought, what better subject to talk about than the Haiku Operating System.

So, I hacked a little podcast together and I've put it up at Feedburner. I've also created a blogger page for any and all feedback.
