sternenstaub	11:44p	oh dear. So, I just went to see 2012. I like disaster movies. I like watching stuff falling apart. It makes me very happy. Remember those car insurance adverts with the slow-motion exploding stuff, or breaking glass? Those are my favourite adverts ever. I could watch them on a loop for hours at a time. I just love watching stuff fall apart. It fascinates and delights me. All apart, all glittering and smashed up and wrecked - I love it. Makes me very happy. When I was a kid, dad and I* used to walk along Hell's Mouth up in Wales and play Bombs Away to the horror of mum. We'd pick up rocks off the beach, which is mostly just rocks and ship debris, and lob rocks at bottles and smash them. It was brilliant. Given this, I expected to really enjoy 2012. I expected an orgy of visual porn where stuff got wrecked. Fortunately, I was not disappointed in this: the Stuff Falling Apart visuals are superb. Volcanoes! The earth swallowing itself! Giant tsunami! Skyscrapers smashing into each other in a shower of broken glass! I was very happy. ( Unfortunately, someone saw fit to write dialogue for this film, and also tried to make some characters and a plot, too. ) Okay, that's enough. That's all I can bear to squeeze out of my poor, battered brain. So here's that in brief: There are three reasons to see this film - The Stuff Falling Apart effects are superb and gorgeous. - The Russian pilot, Sascha, is hot enough to melt rock. - The absolutely hilarious Science! There are many reasons not to see this film - But it is one of those "So Bad It Is Enjoyable" films. - I got a lot of mileage out of slagging it off. So now you know. I'm going to bed.

shortcipher	3:24p	Puzzles on Android updated For those who won't have seen it elsewhere: I've updated my Android port of Simon Tatham's puzzle collection. It now includes: native code instead of NestedVM (smaller, faster, I have rebuilt it, I have the technology) a selective on-screen keyboard for keyboardless devices undo/redo buttons on that keyboard (no more Menu/Undo/Menu/Undo/...) saving and loading on the SD card documentation in the package instead of launching the browser Helge Kreutzmann's German translation of the documentation improved crash reporting a bunch of bug fixes for recently-released Android devices, and other bug fixes If you're reading this on Android, you can go directly to Android Market.

sternenstaub	11:26p	WHUMP HERE'S SOME ART On the sketchblog (WARNING: WILDLY NSFW/NSFL/I DON'T WANT TO GET IN TROUBLE SO I AM WARNING YOU A LOT) and on the website. DeviantART even got a look-in, but, as usual, I only put pandering-to-the-masses rubbish on there, so w/e. I'm going to bed. My new job is going marvellously, by the way. NHS GUM clinic reception is hard work, very hard work, but lots and lots of fun. I love it. :) Current Mood: sleepy (Comment on this)
