:: New writer ::

Just a very quick post to let you guys know my cousin might join me on this site/blog. Soon enough I hope he will be posting around ;)

Remember, buddy, you can post about ANYTHING! Just don't shock people too much, ok? *LOL*

See ya

:: Linux - Timing KDE 4.1.1 compile ::

OK, as promised to psychicist and to you guys, here goes the result of my "experiment". First I compiled KDE 4.1.1 using 'make -j4' and it took 136m3.569s (136 minutes and 3.569 seconds); then I tried 'make -j8' and it took 126m16.009s (126 minutes and 16.009 seconds).

Now, you tell me. What's best, '-j4' or '-j8'? ;)

Ok, enough geek talking for today ;)

Ah, sure! I promised the URL for you to download KDE 4.1.1 packages for Bluewhite64, right? There you go: http://data.linux64packages.net:8080/bluewhite64-12.1/kde-4.1.1/kde/

Have fun!

:: Linux - KDE 4.1.1 ::

Oops, I did it again!

No, I am no fan of Britney Spears *LOL* OK, I admit some years ago i thought she was hot, but not anymore :P

This post is about KDE 4.1.1. It was released yesterday and since yesterday I have the packages for Bluewhite64. Yep, I did it. Right now I am uploading the packages to BW64's repository. As soon as everything is on the server I will let you know (and post the direct link).

Since I had some small problems while compiling kdewebdev (because of tidy), I couldn't time the compile process correctly, and since me and psychicist want to know if there is a difference from compiling stuff using 'make -j4' or 'make -j8', I am recompiling everything ;). Right now I am running the compile with a 'make -j4'. After that I will compile everything again with 'make -j8'. Yes, call me crazy, nerd, geek or whatever, but we do have to find that out ;)

Anyway, that's what Quadcore CPUs are made for, right? :) Not for people who only use M$ Office, play solitaire, use MSN and read their email with that crappy M$ Outlook.

Go Open Source!

:: Movies - Vantage Point ::

Yet another good movie: Vantage Point. My cousin got this movie on the video store, watched it and said it was pretty good. So he lent me DVD and I took it home to watch with my wife as soon as our little princess would be sleeping. Well, I said this before: pregancy is tough stuf. My wife was tired and didn't hold on much longer, so she was asleep before the middle of the movie.

NO, NO, NO! Vantage Point is not boring. It's really a good movie, as my cousin said. I really enjoyed the way the story is told. All characters are well played. Too bad I have become a smartass when it comes to movies. I could guess some small parts of the movie, but that didn't spoil the whole fun.

Hey, Dennis Quaid, beware, you are getting old, man ;)

And.. hmmmm, hmmmm, hmmmm watch out for that girl (Ayelet Zurer).

So, here is another of my "movie advices" hehehe This a very good one. Go for it!

:: Movies - Wanted ::

No, no, I am not "Wanted, daed or alive!". I am talking about the movie Wanted, which I watched last Saturday night.

To be begin with, people, remember it is based on a comic book. Yes, the movie is a bit crazy; it is a mix of Sci-Fi and Action; but it is good. At least, in my humble opinion (IMHO), it is a very good movie. Although the story is not that much creative, I liked the story telling. I won't say much more than this. I could, yes I could. But I am not willing to spoil the movie for those who haven't watched it yet. Here in my city it hasn't reached the cinema yet :( Yep, crappy cinema, crappy cinema!

Oh, James McAvoy did well on this movie. I have seen him on The Chronicles of Narnia, but I really don't remember him. Sorry, fellow! To tell the truth, when I saw that image (this one on the left) in front of the cinema (yes, the movie poster is there for a month already, but the movie hasn't arrived) I thought "ouch, that must be an action movie and I bet the main character is a big, tough guy." Hahahahaa, it was really interesting seeing James McAvoy in the main role. Good job.

Uh.. What? Do you really think I should talk about Angelina Jolie's role on this movie? Well, let's be quick: she is a damn great actress. Ah yes, of course she looks great. Those who know me.. well, they know I am a big fan of Mrs. Jolie. Enough said ;)

If you can (as in "yes, there is a decent cinema in my city/tow", stop reading this and go watch the movie :P
