The Informant

I can take a lot when it comes to bad movies, but this takes the cake.

We had to watch this more than three times before we managed to get all the way through, every time we fell asleep from boredom while waiting for something to happen.

I thought I had lost all respect for Matt Damon after “The Good Shepherd” but this was torture. What an absolute load of rubbish, Matt Damon was either broke, which I doubt, or was trying to prove a point that he can act in bad movies too.

The movie almost offers a hint of comedy. It teases you with the hint of a twist but then it’s a lame one. They had good intentions with the story line and good actors, but some how managed to miss the bus.

If you are considering suicide and looking for something to push you over the edge, this is for you.

Law Abiding Citizen

Law Abiding Citizen is not what it seems. This movie is full of emotion but not as exciting as the clever story could have been.

Is the legal system in general screwed up, I guess we all know it is. This is a story of a man who has lost all he had to live for and ends up losing himself through the process.

We were not exactly sitting on the edge of our seats all the way through, but the story has got some good bits and may be worth the watch if you are a Jamie Fox or Gerard Butler fan.

Desktop

Collected my new PC today and busy getting it configured. This is my first desktop so I’m seriously stoked. It’s no super computer, but it’s a darn lot faster when it comes to rendering than my notebook.

I’m running Core 2 Duo 2.93 Ghz, 4Gb RAM, 500GB HDD – OS, 160GB – Slave, Nvidia Geforce 9800GT 256bit 1024 GDR3 and a 23 inch full HD LG display and Windows 7 64bit.

I’m looking forward to getting into all of the design work I’ve been wanting to, but never had the patience to do on any of my notebooks. Already playing around in blender a bit, I can seriously appreciate the benefits of a dedicated graphics card.

Now to start saving for atleast a 256Gb SSD to use for my OS and apps and then re-purpose the 500GB for storage. I’d also dig to add another graphics card and an additional monitor, but we’ll see, maybe the iPad launches in SA before that.

Revamp

The first phase of our revamp started today and is already almost finished. It’s awesome to have the additional space and be able to talk to Deon without walking outside or picking up the phone.

The place was full of dust but the maintenance crew did a neat and quick job breaking down the inside wall and have cleaned up most of the dust already, which is great.

We’ll hopefully have our air conditioning and flooring installed soon and then our desks. Looking forward to see the changes and an improvement in productivity.
