The Grey Zone

Olga and I watch “The Grey Zone” on DVD. It is a slow and boring movie about the World War II. It is not even so much about the movie, but about a concentration camp and how people were burning other people in crematoriums.

I’ve seen a whole lot of movies about World War II and this is not the among the best of them. It has the point, but it’s not deep on covering it. Of course, noone knows what they are capable of doing in order to survive, unless they have been on the edge. But that is so old and simple…C’mon!

Even Steve Buscemi and Harvey Keitel – two excellent actors – don’t have anything to do in this film. There is nothing they can exercise their talent upon. Pity.

5 out of 10. Find yourself another movie to enjoy.

JAlbum dumped. Back to Dave’s album.

I’ve been getting slowly annoyed by JAlbum. It is slow and inefficient. Every time I add an album, it has to go through all previous albums. It has memory leaks and dies easily. The worst part is that I cannot do anything about it. I don’t know Java and, what is worst, I don’t have the source.

So I decided to switch back to album from Dave’s Marginal Hacks. It has it’s own pros and cons, but at least it is written in Perl and it is Open Source.

While I was at it, I decided to restructure a bit my photo storage. With the Digital Rebel it was getting crowded there. So I separated albums by years. I have uploaded all the links that I could find (even some posts on the forums), but there is still a chance that you might miss something. If that happens, just navigate to it through the links in the “Photos” section.

I don’t think I will change album generating software in the near future, since I am kind of fed up with moving backwards and forwards. I’ll just patch this one. :)

P.S.: If you find any broken links, please let me know so that I could fix them for other visitors. TIA.
