כובעים

Monday, November 26th, 2007

הגעתי הערב לשלוש מסקנות:

1. הדוש בדירה שלנו הותקן ע"י גמד, שכן בעמידה הוא מגיע עד ס"מ ספורים מעל הראש שלי.
2. אפשר לדעת שאוהבים מישהו באמת אם שנים אחרי שמאבדים אותו, אתם אוהבים אותו לא פחות מכאשר האהבה ביניכם היתה בשיאה.
3. Anathema היא הלהקה להקשיב לה כאשר רוצים לחשוב על דברים מורבידיים כמו אהבות נכזבות.

שניים מתוך שלושת הדברים הללו ידעתי כבר קודם, ואת האחד שהבנתי היום החלטתי לשתף איתכם.

Futurama Is Back !

Is one of the sensations watching the new Futurama movie would induce, had it been any good.
Unfortunately it wasn’t any better than a casual futurama episode, streched over an hour an a half, with a loose storyline connecting the parts.

I’m happy Futurama has risen from the dead, another movie is even scheduled for 2008, I just hoped that in more than 2 years of cinematic death, they would come up with some of the quality humor that made futurama what is was in the 30th century of 2005.

http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/808/bscap000wk2.jpgOne special part I did enjoy was when they remembered to cast fry’s beloved dog, who waited for him in the year 2000. It was one of the saddest most beautiful episodes futurama ever aired.
Then they ruined it by over doing the scene, spoiling all the good things that made the doggy lovable.

It felt like the creators had took the futurama theme, dressed it with "current" out dated jokes, like the whole spam thing, and mixed it with old futurama jokes. They should have invested their time in creating an independent self sustained creation, much like The Simpsons did in their movie.

Disappointed, but still loving futurama. Hopefully the series will return with new episodes.

Cleo Music Preview

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

cleo-screenshot.pngI’ve uploaded a first screenshot of the under-development Cleo Music application (click the image to enlarge).

In the screen shot you can see the the general look of the application. On the left you see the details of a given artist, with it’s picture, genre tags and related artists, all automatically retrieved from last.fm.
In the middle is the search window, allowing you to search both for artists and genre tags on all the mp3 files on your computer.
On the buttom are the mp3 files of the viewed artist or the search result. You always have all the files of the artist no matter where they are scattered on your HD, and on the top is the currently playing song/artist in winamp.
Also on the right are additional auto-hiding windows for viewing all artist/tags and more.

Currently it has some small patching up to do, and one major fix to reduce loading time. After this is done I will release a first Alpha+ / Beta- test version, and continue to develop other missing features.

I am very excited with how this application is taking shape and am using it myself from day 1 while listening to music.
Can’t wait to get some real feedback from music lovers for whom this application is developed
