SysInternalsMark Russinovich writes "I�m very pleased to announce that Microsoft has acquired Winternals Software and Sysinternals. Bryce Cogswell and I founded both Winternals and Sysinternals (originally NTInternals) back in 1996 with the goal of developing advanced technologies for Windows.

There�s nothing more satisfying for me than to see our ideas and their implementation have a positive impact."

I'll bet the cheque from MS was pretty satisfying too. It'll be interesting to see what happens with SysInternal's great freeware tools. Will they just be another company that MS buys and then stops all innovation ?

{mosimage}The heroes in a half shell return to the big screen in this CGI animated movie.


The animation looks pretty slick, but as it's only a teaser trailer, it's hard to judge what the rest of the movie will be like. I feel like Pizza now :D


Check out the teaser trailer.

Ollie Lang Paintball ClinicToday, I attended the Ollie Lang Paintball Clinic at Velocity Indoor Paintball, along with around 20 other eager-to-learn paintballers.

After a gruelling day of drills, I was exhausted but in high spirits as I had been shown a few techniques and also absorbed more knowledge of the sport from one it's best, if not the best. Ollie was a true gentlemen, he schooled us, we adapted and then used that training in the second half of the day, to which, Ollie was very impressed with.

All and all it was an awesome day and a great precursor for South Pacs.
