While I gather my marbles after a hectic day of not sleeping for 29 bloody hours, here’s a video we shot last year but only recently finished editing.

Will explain more once I wake up from glorious sleep

The 4th quarter of 2008 has seen the beginning of some new seasons for US TV Shows, namely House, Numb3rs and Heroes, all of which ended the previous season quite early due to problems following the Writers Guild strike.

House was the first show to come out following the flopped 916

Following Amber’s death at the end of Season 4, Wilson resigns from the hospital and ends his friendship with House. House, in true House fashion, retorts by hiring a private investigator to spy on Wilson. Cuddy still hasn’t put out though, but will she put out for someone else instead of House?

The opening credits still don’t include the new team and still feature the old team despite Omar Eppes being the only regular old team member that has alot of screen time followed by Jesse Spencer.

Next up is Heroes, opening the season with a 3-hour special. But of course the first hour was just a clip-show with some interviews and stuff, but hey, two new episodes in a row is quite a start.

The new season picks up from the time Nathan got shot, revealing the true identity of the shooter who shot Nathan. Nathan survives, but at what cost? The season is also the beginning of a new chapter “Villains”, and as promised by the producers, there are some mean kick-ass villains on the loose.

But wait

Sylar is working for the Company?

Its going to be interesting to see how much more entangled the story gets, with Mohinder finding the true source of the genetic mutation in the “heroes” and gaining some powers himself. The story of Niki Sanders is also beginning to unfold into a deeper plot.

And finally we have the recently premiered season of Numb3rs

Scene from Numb3rs Season 5 Episode 1

This season Sophina Brown joins the cast as junior agent Nikki Betancourt, filling in the gap left by Diane Farr. Charlie has lost his security clearance following the season 4 finale in which he sent dubious research information to Pakistan, and now can’t work for the FBI. So in turn, FBI seeks help from Larry and Amita. How will this go? Well, you just have to watch now dont you? ;)

First and foremost, sorry about the lack of updates. Not much to blog about. Wish I had a camera then I can show you the new house lol, but alas, that thing is as lost as The One Ring in a river lol.

Google launched it’s new browser Chrome last week, been playing with it soon after it came out lol. Spent so much time on it I forgot to do an assignment XD
Somethings I dont quite like about chrome though
- No blooody stop button, what the hell?
- No bloody built in rss reader (although Google Reader has been a very good alternative)
- Most of my external links from IM’s keep opening in Firefox.
- Buggy with some sites.

Besides this crap it’s all pretty fine and dandy. I love it. Just hope its not going to remain perpetually in beta.

Also installed some new plug-ins in wordpress, mostly only for my end though, screw you readers! XD
Will share for the benefit of other wordpress users :)

Ajax Comment Posting - Does what the title says it does

WP Ajax Edit Comments - Makes my smiting and purging of infidels alot easier

WordPress.com Stats - A simpler stats analyzer to tell me how many minionsvisitors come and go from my dominion

Baltic Amber Themes & Schemes - Makes my admin page pretty

twitterDash - Lets me use twitter from my dashboard

Wordpress Automatic upgrade Upgrades Wordpress for you from wordpress, no need to wait for fantastico to update or whatever. Kinda like the plug-in updates

jQuery Lightbox - Lightbox plugin because the previous plugin I had was malfunctioning and also other plugins I tried sucked balls. Needs a lil typing, but does the job and pretty much easier to use than the previous one.

Also did some changes to the gallery which now uses thickbox instead of lightbox, and I’ve added a recent comments list to the sidebar.

One plug-in I tried but decided not to use because it did more than what I needed was AJAXed Wordpress which basicly Ajax-es your entire blog, navigation, comments, all that stuff. Pretty cool, and worth a try :)

Today I cemented a well known thought of mine for good.

Conferences that have nothing to do with what you do or your interest are only good for two things.
