my ramblings | Comments Off on movies and movies and movies, oh my!.
Seen quite a few movies in the past week: The Ring and 8 Mile in theatres, and Mulholland Drive on DVD.
The Ring was scary as all hell, and I spent most of it with my head buried in
Sandy’s shoulder: she likes scary movies, I don’t. The plot was very very good
though.
I enjoyed 8 Mile a lot. As Sandy pointed out to me afterwards, it didn’t seem
as autobiographical as the press would make you think. It was still a good
story, and I enjoyed the hiphop. Eminem also did a pretty damn good job acting
(or is that just how he is all the time?)
Mullholland drive is bar-none the most messed up movie I’ve ever seen. I really
don’t get it, and I don’t think I’m supposed to get it. It was quite a ride though.
Tomorrow I’m seeing Bowling for
Columbine tomorrow. Should be great. Apparently, it’s already on track to
be the most successful documentary of all time.

Migrated to larger RAID subsystem (from 80GB to 800GB).
Oh Stan, you wacky Sun guy you. There’s only 646GB free on that array, you sure
that’s enough? Happy Hallowe’en.

Jon, what happened to your site?
WALT was an
experimental technology developed between Apple and BellSouth to create a
telecommunications device that utilized Newton technologies. Now that one has been
found, however, it appears that WALT is more likely a Mac in sheep’s
clothing. That’s too bad for those who bid on
it thinking that it was a Newton.
In other news, the scooter is going into storage
this weekend. It’s getting damn cold outside, you know.

I can’t believe that someone has
finally done it after all these years, but below is a screenshot of my
Newton MessagePad 2100 emulating a Palm Pro (PalmOS 2.0 ROM):
The emulator is still unreleased pending bugfixes, adding features like
serial/IR support and working Graffiti, and clearing up some licencing
issues. But it exists. And it does work. It’s amazing to see actually
working. This is all the result of the work of
Brian Parker, up-and-coming
Newton developer. My hat is off to you, Brian (and thanks for sneaking me
a copy so I could confirm it).
