On of the best television series ever, and one of my personal favorites, is coming to Bluray this September.  Awesome news!

This series should have got a second season, but because Fox is pretty much fucking stupid, they cancelled it.  Eitherway, DTS-MA audio + 1080p = win.  I will definately be buying this when it comes out.

With every passing day, Blizzard changes it’s splash page with an ever revealing image, hooking pretty much anyone and everyone in gaming into it’s new game announcement, due this Saturday.

D3? WotLK? Lost Fucking Vikings!?

Sigh.

Todays image now has eyes in the center and another rune.  Apparently hidden in the CSS file for the page the Lost numbers are showing up in sequence, so far with 4, 15, 23, 16.  With 2 more days until WWI, that’s just enough time to add 8 and 42.

So either this is a huuuuuge fucking prank (or rather brilliant god damn marketing - motherfuckers), or now people think there might be a Lost Vikings game announcement.  Lost Numbers + Ice = Lost Vikings apparently.

Somehow I doubt that, but you just never know with these guys.  Either way, I expect it to be epic.  If it’s just something we’ve already heard about (SC2, WotLK) it’s going to be a huge disappointment.

So I picked up Stephen Kochan’s book on Objective-C “Programming in Objective-C” (Unfortunately, 2.0 isn’t out until November.  Sucks.)  pretty much because he taught me C back when I was in high school with his first edition of “Programming in C”.  That and the original K&R book on C were my bibles for the language, as I’m sure they were for a lot of people back in “the day”.  Hell, I still have both of my original books from damn near 20 years ago.

Wow.  That’s sort of fucking scary.  I feel old now =(

Moving on…

Now that I’m interested in learning ObjC for Mac/iPhone stuff, I thought it was great that Kochan had a book out on it.  I always liked his writing style, so this should be a good read.  I haven’t coded in C in ages, so hopefully I can ramp up and get back into it without much effort.

At first glance with the language, it shouldn’t be that tough.  There’s many similarities to Perl, at least for me, that will make it easier for me to pick it up.  I never learned C++ or any other strongly OOP language like Java, but Perls modules and class oriented style look pretty similar.

Anyway, hopefully I’ll have some updates on my progress.  And hopefully I won’t fucking pass out from my brain being overstuffed with code.  Dreams about code are never fun.

So, with pretty much all of Turkeys roster injured, it might seem pretty hopeless for them to beat Germany… but after the last 2 games I’ve seen them play, I just can’t rule them out.  I honestly won’t be surprised if they advance to the final.  Somehow, they’ve been able to pull some off the most amazing goals out of their ass at the exact time they’ve needed to.  I’m a bit disappointed Nihat won’t be playing, but an injury is an injury.

As for the other bracket (which I neglected to look at when wishing for a Spain/Netherlands final), Spain might have a tough time besting Russia after their unbelivable win over the Dutch.  I was pretty speachless that they lost, especially after that brilliant header by Nistelrooy to tie it up.  They just couldn’t put anything together to stop the relentless attacks of the Russians.  Spain definately has their work cut out for them, but I’m still hoping for them to end up in the final.  Right now, they have to be my favorite team so far in this tournament… with Turkey a close second.

So I played around with this a little bit tonight, check out my guy Kanichtwinn that I made:

Pretty fucking fun, I must say. This game is going to be a huuuuuuuge hit.  Can’t wait to see more of it.

Damnit.  I cannot believe that Ribery was injured 10 minutes into the game - that guy is one of my favorites on the French team and I was really looking forward to a rematch of the 2006 World Cup game where he really came out and shined.

Irregardless of Italy scoring in the first half, it was a great game.  I was still pulling for France up until about the 75 minute, but it just seemed like they were beaten in the last 15.  Almost like they had given up, or had been just been pounded so hard by Italy that they didn’t have it left in them.  Somewhat dissapointing.

I must admit, I’m not pleased that Italy made it through.  I was really hoping they’d get pushed out by France, but again, my dreams dissapeared for Les Bleus.  Hopefully they wont make it past the Quarter Finals.

On the other hand, Netherlands defeated Romania 1-nil… which was great to hear.  They didn’t need the win, but as a confidence builder, I’m excited for them.  Hopefully they continue on.  Netherlands/Spain final still looking good!

Just testing out a gallery for my site… here’s a screenshot of my Hackintosh running 10.5.3 =)

Wow.  What a fucking brilliant game that was today… I simply cannot believe that last half.  Nihat’s goals in the last 5 minutes were just amazing!

Definitely some of the better football occuring in this tournament…

I’m looking forward to seeing France and Italy play against each other in a World Cup rematch this Tuesday.  Shouldn’t dissapoint.  Netherlands and Spain are still looking great, so I’m still hoping to see them in the final, however after today, I have to say Turkey is looking quite good for the final as well.

So, I’ve been watching the UEFA cup the last few days, and I have to say - I’m dissapointed in France.  They had a tremendously poor showing against Romania… I expected more, particularly after World Cup.  Now, Spain and Netherlands, they gave a downright brilliant showing of how to play football.  I was particularly happy that the Dutch absolutely trounced Italy!

It was also nice to see David Villa get a hat trick yesterday for Spain…

So far, the groups are shaping up nicely, and I’d love to see Spain and the Netherlands get to the final, as they are my current favs.  We shall see!

So, it took me awhile to get CPAN to work behind the proxy at work. Part of the problem was that I needed to authenticate to the proxy with my Active Directory credentials, which is simple in theory, but ended up being more complicated than I thought originally. I started out by specifying my proxy information in the CPAN setup, but that failed with an authentication error. It never once asked me for my credentials, which struck me as odd, since it clearly states that if you do not specify them, you will be asked.

So then I tried the environment variables, http_proxy and ftp_proxy with the proper syntax. I figured this would work, and in my testing, did from the command line, however for some reason it would not from within CPAN itself; which I imagine is because CPAN sets it’s own environment variables on execution.

Perplexed, I thought I would try creating .wgetrc file in my home directory and see if that worked. It did.
