The BBC is reporting that 142 people have been arrested and 7,000 have “undergone preventive police checks.” Apparently they’re deporting 52 Gypsys. Sad stuff.

Let’s please not turn the Middle East into glass because of London.

Every week, your plan limits will grow as follows, at absolutely no charge: L1: 20MB disk and 1GB bandwidth each week! L2: 40MB disk and 1.5GB bandwidth each week! L3: 60MB disk and 2GB bandwidth each week! L4: 80MB disk and 2.5GB bandwidth each week! So, the longer you host with us, the more you've got! AND, we're so nice we've even retroactively grown your limits based on how long you've been hosting with us already (up to a one year max)! If that's not something to blog about, I don't know what is!

I now have 10860.000MB of space and 350GB of bandwidth.

Picture are up.

Josh hooked me up with some cool software called Synergy. It allows you to control multiple computers, through the network, with one keyboard and mouse. Sort of like a virtual KVM, but each computer still requires its own monitor. It’s a wonderful, cheap way to get a multiple monitor system.

I use it at work to control my XP workstation from my laptop.

Oh, you probably already guessed this, but the version in Ubuntu’s repository is old.

I changed my mail client from Ubuntu’s default Evolution back to Thunderbird. Evolution was really nice when it worked – but that was rare. It would always disconnect from the IMAP server and do all sorts of funky things. One would think that the software would improve after being bought by a big corporation like Novell. Oh well.

Apparently when Synaptic automatically runs to check for updates, it uses 100% of the CPU. That’s slightly annoying. Especially when you’re not online.

Nick, Tina, and I saw Batman Begins last night. It’s a good movie. The best of the bunch, I’d say.

Batman had no nipples, but Katie Holmes made it a point to show hers whenever she had the chance.

The end annoyed me.

According to IMDB, they’ve written three scripts. At the end of Begins, Gordon tells Batman of a robber who left a “calling card”, which just so happens to be a joker. So they’re planning on having the Joker in the next movie? That disappoints. Jack Nicholson was great as the Joker in the first movie. I can’t think of any actor who can follow him up. Plus, it just wouldn’t work.

I assume that the three Batman Begins films are going to be sequential. In the first Batman film, we already saw Jack turn into the Joker. So how could he be in Batman Begins 2? We’d have to jump over the first Batman film.

Also, at the end of Batman Begins, Batman has never heard of the Joker. If I remember correctly, in the first film, Batman is present when Jack turns into the Joker.

It just won’t work.

I wish they’d pick a new criminal; one who hasn’t been put in a film before.
