Movie Bitmeter: Taken

greven — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 04:00:44 +0000

I watched this film today and I can tell you it’s nothing less then amazing. It’s your typical Bourne action hero, i.e., a ruthless spy that never misses a shot. The film is good, it works, the story isn’t top notch but it sets the theme for its main focus… pure action! And it sure delivers top quality action and car chases. I can’t say more, you have to see for yourself. It’s really worth it but I wouldn’t expect less from a film written by Luc Besson featuring Liam Neeson.

My Rating: 8/10

Movie Info

Genre: Action - Crime - Drama - Thriller

Plot: A former spy relies on his old skills to save his estranged daughter, who has been forced into the slave trade.

Director: Pierre Morel.

Writers: Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen.

Main Actors: Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace, Famke Janssen…

So… it’s almost Christmas right? At least where I live the streets are already all pimped up for it. It’s strange how soon this all Christmas celebration begins. And it’s getting worse. I bet in some years from now we will be seeing Santas walking the streets in mid July in Shorts and with Sun Glasses…

But oh well… that’s another subject. Anyway this game pretty much resembles Christmas with Rabbits, jumping rabbits. This one is a very simple yet addictive game, really good for those times when you should be doing something utterly important.

If you are like me, you’re constantly searching for new Font Types. Most of the times we will never use all the fonts we’ve download, but variety is never a bad thing. We never know when we’ll need that specific font for that special work… or to just for that design rambling. So prepare your bookmarks because today is all about fonts…

Movie Bitmeter: Angels & Deamons

greven — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 02:56:02 +0000

I’ve read the original Book from Dawn Brown, and I quite liked it, more than the wide famous The Da Vinci Code. The trailer is more a teaser then a trailer so you can’t take much out of it. But this is one of the movies I expect to see in the big screen.

Movie Info

Genre: Crime - Drama - Mystery - Thriller.

Plot: Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon works to solve a murder and prevent a terrorist act against the Vatican.

Director: Ron Howard.

Main Actors: Tom Hanks, Ayelet Zurer, Ewan McGregor…

Cool Website: Grooveshark Lite

greven — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 01:25:07 +0000

I recently found out about Grooveshark. There are plenty of websites that offer you the possibility to listening to artists online, organize your playlists, explore other users, make friends, etc… But with the release of Grooveshark Lite. The difference of Grooveshark Lite from other music online retailers is that it gives community members credits every time a user purchases a track from their music library.

Preview

But other then that I love Grooveshark Interface and the possibility to embed songs you find into web sites.

Ubuntu 8.10 Released

greven — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 11:49:31 +0000

Six Months after the release of Ubuntu 8.04 and following the release schedule strictly, Ubuntu latest brother arrives, called 8.10 or Intrepid Ibex. If you think this is a weird name wait till Ubuntu 9.04 or… Jaunty Jackalope arrives!

I haven’t tried Ubuntu 8.10 yet, but Ubuntu is one of my favorite Linux Distros. It’s one of the most user friendly distributions, it’s based on Debian (gotta love apt-get) and the best of all it’s the HUGE community behind it. Anything you need it’s probably already solved in the Official Forums.

Ubuntu 8.10 Features

- GIMP 2.6
- GNOME 2.24
- Mozilla Firefox 3.0
- OpenOffice 2.4 (OpenOffice 3 is already available to Download anyway…)
- New Dark Theme in alternative to the traditional Lighter and Brownish Human One.
- Private folder
- Tabbed Nautilus
- New Network Manager
- Etc, etc, etc…

Ubuntu NewHuman Theme

If you are new to Linux, Ubuntu is a good starting place. If you never tried Ubuntu before, 8.10 is your opportunity to do so. If you are already an Ubuntu user, then is worth upgrading since it contains a number of tweaks, bug fixes and some improvements.

Oh.. Halloween! Trick or Treat? How about some Icons?
