Recently I mentioned how interesting it is to watch a professional at work. Well, in order to be fair, I have to say that sometimes it is interesting to watch UNprofessionals work too. Here is an example in pictures.

“format C:” versus “rm -rf /”
Jokes about “format C:” and “rm -rf /” are pretty frequent in the computer universe. These two commands will supposedely remove all data from the hard disk – one on DOS/Windows and another on UNIX operating systems. While widely used, this might not be exactly true. This guy has tried both and documented the results.

Underworld
Watched “Underworld” on DVD.
This film is based on a nice story and has some great decorations and special effects. It also feels a bit Matrixish with desaturated (and leaned to green) colors, leather clothes with high boots and coats on many characters. There was some really nice photography too. On the bad side though, it was very slow and very boring at times. Some meaningless scenes were attempted to be dramatical with long pauses and looks and stuff like that. Also, there wasn’t one good fight during the course of the film. All fights were very artistical, unnatural, and with no fight instructor behind the scenes. I would also wish for some more vampire and werwovle action, like blood drinking and flash ripping. Film is rated R anyway, so I don’t know what the makers had to lose.
As it is, this film gets 6 out of 10 from me. Watch it if you are in a mood for a slow film about vampires with not too much blood and fighting.
Grimaldi Lines
I will probably start hating myself soon for all the pictures of sunrises, sea at sunrise, and ships in the sea at sunrises that I have taken. Well, what can I do? I hope that we will have some working place rearrangements at our office soon…
Yet another two pictures. I have tried to postprocess them a bit differently, so that they are not so obviously the same as all the other pictures I have taken from this window.
