So I watched G.I. Joe yesterday, and I have concluded that this summer’s movies sucked! G.I. Joe was alright. Nothing too spectacular. It’s not as bad as I thought it was though. I was told that during the screening, the movie was so bad that some critics just walked out of the movie theater. How true this is, I don’t know but you can imagine how low my expectations were. And it definitely did better than I expected it. If my rating means anything (which is doesn’t), I would give it 2 out of 5 stars.

I realized that even with my new computer,  a core 2 duo processor and 2 gigs of ram, my FF still steals about 100k in resources rendering my computer slow and useless if I were to switch to some heavy duty work like Photoshop or a game. IE is definitely out of the question .. I can’t stand it one bit so I decided to give Chrome another try.

I bought a Upconverting DVD Player for my sister for her HD TV for Christmas … but the DVD player did not come with an HDMI cable, rendering Circuit City retarded for selling a DVD player without cables. But luckily, ebay was there to save me!

Last night, I saw the new Tom Cruise movie – Valkyrie. And in the end, I have to say that it was pretty good and educative. The story was interesting, the suspense factor wasn’t too predictable, the action was good and of course, Tom Cruise did a great job – I love his acting.

A good friend of mine from high-school sadly departed to Pennsylvania for his college studies and I haven’t seen him since graduation in June. But yesterday, he came back for a visit, and we had the best time of our lives. Re-uniting our ROCK BAND crew with another friend of mine, we sucked ass this time compared to our previously attained gangster skills. I guess our peak was in the good old days, and now we just suck!

Anywho, to end the night, we watched the 10:30 show for Eagle Eye. For those that haven’t seen it, WATCH IT!!! It’s really as great at the trailers depict it to be. The suspense dies out half-way into the movie, and after that everything is very predictable, but nonetheless the action is soo good that you don’t realize how predictable it is. The action is equivalent to movies like Iron Man, The Hulk and Dark Knight so you know it’s some uber pwnage! Shia LeBeouf is definitely amazing in this movie … probably even better than what he was in Transformers (I didn’t see Indiana Jones so I can’t compare).

I don’t really want to give away much of the movie to all that haven’t seen it, but definitely it’s a must see. If you can’t watch in theatre cause $10 is too much for you, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE BOOTLEG. The action is too intense and crazy and the shitty quality from a cam rip or pre-dvd rip will just KILL the movie. I suggest you wait till it comes on DVD and download the DVD rip cause I know all you are too cheap to actually rent it from Blockbuster.

It’s pretty lame how slow and late I am with the tech world … today, I found out about google’s new browser, Google Chrome. My first reaction was irritation rather than excitement. As a web developer, the #1 problem you always run into is site’s working differently on different browsers. And now with Chrome in the picture, there’s another browser I have to worry about.

After dealing with this, I realized that Chrome might go really far considering how great Google is, so I thought I might as well give it a go. I read a few reviews online, checked a few videos by Google where they flaunt their new and fancy features, and finally decided to download the browser.

Only one response … WOW!!! This crap is blazing fast! I will end up having to deal with the fact that I need to fix my crap in this browser as well, but after some testing, it works very similar to IE, so I’m hoping there won’t necessarily need to be a lot of changes made specifically for the browser.

As a FireFox supporter, I still prefer Firefox as of now. Yes, Google is DEFINITELY much faster than FF but I’m more used to FF and I like it a little more. All the extensions, add-ons and layouts makes FF definitely #1 in my eyes. But who knows, I do see a switch coming after a few more updates to Chrome.

I am honestly extremely disappointed with FF 3. It definitely doesn’t live up to it’s hype. Here are my problems:

1. The program takes a little longer to start up.
2. It definitely doesn’t use significantly less resources. Probably dropped by 10% max.
3. Some sites don’t even render right in FF 3.
4. Typing in a link is hella gay with the drop down with your history that pisses the shit outta you.
5. The remember this password bar sucks … the pop up was much more easier.
6. Half my add-ons don’t even freaking work.

This is just retarded. Extremely disappointed with the new upgrade. Hopefully FF will get tons of complaints and fix these damn horrible screw ups.

If you haven’t already downloaded FF 3, don’t download it. Or atleast back up your current FF 2 so you won’t lose it. I unfortunately don’t have the option to switch back -_-

So I have recently changed my hosting from Reece’s WebHosting4Free service to ExtrovertHost. There is no particular reason for this switch except for the fact that I am offered more, but of course, my plan is a custom plan just like my plan with Reece.

A few weeks ago, I coded a website template for someone. Aparently, the website template ended up being extroverthost’s template and it’s owner being my customer. As a bonus for completing the project, I was offered with free hosting. A custom package that is hard to deny. With 10 GB diskspace, 100 GB bandwidth, PHP support and 10 MySQL databases … this was a plan I just could not turn down.

With WH4F, I was offered with 250 MB diskspace and 6.2 GB bandwidth. As you can see, both the custom plans have a distinct difference in what is offered and so the switch is bound to happen.

If are looking for my opinion on which one is better, my plans are custom made for me and most likely plans you won’t be able to get so I can’t layout a comparison chart. Plus, extroverthost still hasn’t completed constructing their site. But there is one thing I will say about both the services … both of them have a tremendous support ticket system and you get an answer within an hour, usually within minutes.

But in the end, am I happy with my new service? HELL YES!
