I have upgraded Embperl version from 2.0b8 to 2.0rc2. There were plenty of bugs fixed and some new features added. I needed this for a small project that I am doing. Everything seems to work fine now. Let me know if you experience any problems with any of the sites hosted on my server.

Dirty car art
Real artist will always find a way and media to express themselves. If you don’t believe me, check out these pictures with dirty car art.
PhotoNotes.org
I don’t remember if I linked to this site before, but it is good enough for me to point it out more than once – PhotoMotes.org. It is good for a good range of articles, reviews, and manuals. Most of the material has to do Canon, but other vendors are covered too.
The Dreamers
Olga and I watched “The Dreamers” on DVD. (Martin tries his best to shorten my wishlist).
This movie is a very nice drama. It looks very fresh after everything I have seen lately. Somehow it provides a neat mix between American and European cinema. There is plenty of American stuff to make it easier on the watchers and to provide audience with entertainment. Most of the film is European though. It is eye scratching with the issues of sex and nudity. Drugs are touched mildly. But human relationships and cultural differences mixed with romance and family are at the core of the film.
There is plenty of good acting in this film. Choice of compositions and timing in soundtrack are amazing. I wish photography was a bit better. I also wish I could have English subtitles for the French dialogues which occur frequently and mixed with English during the course of the movie. Maybe next time.
Anyway, I like the film and do recomend it to anyone who has been exhausted by the number of templated movies that are coming out of Hollywood during the last few years.
8 out of 10.
Dining-table
Continuing our holy shopping crusade, Olga and I bought a dining-table today. It is a nicely done oval piece made from wood. Four legs, brown color (not too dark, not too light), and an extension in the middle. With said extension this table can expand from a 6 person’s food holder to about 8 person’s dish conveyer.
We found it in the somewhat remote Andriotti shop for a mere 130 CYP, which is a specially offered discounted price.
At the time we couldn’t make our minds about chairs, so we decided to give ourselves a couple of more days to think things over. The delivery date was chosen to be the 28th of December, so if decide to buy chairs from the same shop, everything will get delivered together.
Stay tuned for some more shopping news these days.
