March 09: The Tale of Despereaux: the trailer is a bit more promising than the movie, which has a voiceover and a few didactic overtones, but on the whole it's quite a bit of fun.
March 07: I had an odd issue with a shared Google calendar I'd created: of all the people who were allowed access, I was the only one who couldn't actually see it. I got it sorted out today by removing and re-adding my own account to the calendar using another "admin" account, but The Brother had already tried that so I'm not sure why it worked for me.
March 06: Movie rewatched: Wedding Crashers. Admittedly I wasn't paying too much attention this time around as I was engaged in conversation.
March 03: Franklyn is... odd. I guess it's pretty well done and all, but it's one of those dual storyline movies, except it keeps the stories separated so long that you kinda spend too much time wondering when and how they're going to mesh.
March 02: Terminator: Salvation: isn't particularly bad; in fact, it's a fairly acceptable action movie by itself, with the exception of the needless Precocious Child Who Is Vital In Some Pointless Way. What really lets it down, at least for me, is the number of sly back-references to the other movies: whole lines of dialogue, and visual motifs like the motorbike versus truck sequence which may even have gone so far as to ape the camera angles of Terminator II. Still, I guess it does what it sets out to do: it's a bubblegum movie.
March 01: Reinstalled the CVS server on the Cube. I should really package it up as it's fairly handy to do so in a reasonably independant fashion.
February 27: Well, go us! We beat England at Twickenham (again). Of course, we couldn't do it without scaring ourselves silly and running it down to the final minutes of the game with the potential to throw it all away, but that's the Irish international sports team for you: if we're not already the underdog, we try and force ourselves into the underdog position.

Not to be outdone, Scotland are attempting to cling to the bottom of the table by concending to Italy.

Movies watched this weekend: Coraline (second time) and Intolerable Cruelty (uh, fourth, I think).
February 26: I didn't watch the game, but Wales lost to France this evening. Oh well. Roll on Twickenham...
February 24: Moon is another gem. Definitely worth seeing, probably more than once.
February 22: Continued Linux Printing Fail:
waider.desktop$ lpstat -t scheduler is running system default destination: [some printer] waider.desktop$ lpr ~/Documents/whatever.txt lpr: Error - no default destination available.
That'll do, Linux, that'll do.
