Posting finally
10/22/2006
So I decided I should finally post on here again. Really there hasn't been much to post about. It's been kind of cold out lately so I haven't done any Geocaching or anything like that or explored any strange places. I should have done more of that during the summer I guess.
I did buy seasons 1 and 2 of The Office though, since I got some Best Buy gift certificates for using our reward zone card when I bought my TV a while ago. I figured it was a good excuse to buy The Office. Season 2 is really good. After watching all the episodes it makes the newer ones a lot better since you pick up on things you didn't know about before that are really jokes from past episodes.
I've been playing around with my older computer that I have here by using it as a server development environment for some php development I've been doing. I really don't know php so when I do things wrong I don't really want it to be on someone else's server but mine instead, so it's easier to tell what is happening. It's pretty useful too because I don't need to upload the files anywhere. Ubuntu is really great, I really love how they are pretty much the only distribution that realizes they need to make everything easy for people.
We saw The Prestige at the theater on Friday. It was actually pretty good. The movie has a few things you have to think about and I won't say what they are, but it will definitely keep you wondering during the movie. This weekend was mostly movie filled as well. I saw about half of War of the Worlds and then Batman Begins and part of The Island today. Mostly I like watching the movies on the HD stations, it looks really good. Since the Vikings were playing at a different time than the Packers this week I actually got to watch it on TV. I don't know if I mentioned this before or not, but football in HD is WAY better than standard definition. You think that the announcers are full of crap when they tell you that all the time but they aren't. After seeing games in HD it's almost hard to watch them when they aren't.
