Lost Season 5 Premiere

Just some remarks about the new lost episodes, enjoyed them both quite a bit, especially the first one.

“Because You Left”
Very fast paced episode, that reveals some of the mystery of the island ! As it turned out, there is some sort of unlimited energy source within the island, that also allows to manipulate time. Apparently when tempered with somehow, the island starts jumping around in time. This lead to some quite funny, confusing scenes. The interactivity between Sawyer and Daniel was nice to see. Daniel seems to be the only one that seems to grasp the situation. He says the island is dislodged in time, like a skipping record. Which accidentally was the opening scene, a Willie Nelson record got stuck.

Charlotte is already suffering from a nosebleed. The other people that timetraveled also started out getting ill like this and eventually die. Daniel will do his best to prevent this I am sure.

WordPress 2.7

Just updated the blog to WordPress 2.7 ! One down, two more blogs to go ;). Didn’t really expect anything spectacular, as I haven’t followed the wordpress developments lately, but I was i for a nice surpise ! The new admin area looks and feels a whole lot better.

If you want a preview, check out the wordpress blog that discusses the new interface. I am sure if you use blogsearch.google, you’ll find a lot more opinions. And ofcourse the release blog post.

The new post screen is better, nice colors (light grey and blue) and all options are easier to access. Only needs a bit to get used to, for example the tags inputbox on the right.

Only thing I don’t quite like is the settings ‘tab’, for lack of a better term. I liked it better when it was in the upper right instead of all the way down left now. Ah well, always something :).

Ubuntu 8.10

So far the reviews and first impressions of the release candidate have been very good. It seems 8.10 will be even more smooth and snappier than the previous 8.04 release. Not going to bother with the RC, but will wait a few days for 8.10. Hope the upgrade process will be smooth !

Cnet Revamped

Visited download.com today and lo and behold ! The Cnet site has been revamped :). The colors are somewhat darker, and the layout is a lot less cluttered. Tbh is was getting a bit messy, the new look is more modern and it’s easier to find stuff ! It’s not always such a revamp is working, but this one has been executed nicely.
