I do not use Facebook often, but just shared this...

If someone told me when I was 7 years old while wearing my favorite outfit, which happened to be Captain America Underoos, that in 30 years not only was there going to be a movie that showed the action figures sprawled across my bedroom floor in a realistic manner, but that I would be also watching it in 3D in my own living room, I never would have believed it. Just watched The Avengers for the 3rd time since it was released. First time watching it in 3D. The 7 year old boy in me is still blown away.

Lazy Saturday afternoon, rented Something from Nothing: The Art of Rap

I grew up loving Hip Hop music, but am definitely not a fan of what it has become, or for that matter what it has been the past decade, if not longer.

I have to say for anyone like me, this is probably the best documentary I have ever seen about what it means to be an MC.

I also do hope that the kids that like Hip Hop now, that do not know much about it's roots, take the time to watch this as well, to see what it once was and still could be about.

And do not get me wrong, there are still plenty people making Hip Hop, but what is known to be Hip Hop as it is portrayed and shown by the mainstream media and what is represented as the top selling artist of these times, is IMO not what it should be.

So if you loved it like I do, or just have an interest in it from an American Cultural standpoint, highly recommend this documentary. Good job by Ice T making it.

Watched Lawless last night, very good film - the girlfriend is loving Tom Hardy(and his cardy)

Tonight, watched That's My Boy - another good film, but I know Adam Sandler is a very aquired taste.

Started watching Avengers Assemble, but got bored, so will try again tomorrow.

Rounded out the weekend of movies by going to see Looper at a matinee with my wife.

Was damn good. Actually not what I expected, and the trailers do a great job of keeping the plot unknown. Kudos for a trailer not spelling out the whole damn movie in sequence for once.

Actually want to see it again so I can catch all of the smaller stuff I missed the first time around, as I am pretty sure it is there.

    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By Circaflex · Posted

      Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?

      I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
