Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Sep 03, 2008 6:57am PDTSo how's everyone doing today? If you want to start your day right, this rundown of the forthcoming Demigod by Nick is probably a fine way to do so. And this is pretty neat, the best LittleBigPlanet (PS3) designers could be hired by the company, a long standing tradition in the PC world and it's great to see this going over to consoles. Plus, Epic is saying that the 360 is nearing it's graphical limit, but how does that directly relate to the artistic limit?

Who wants to help me win a 42" LCD TV from my work?
I need 18 people to sign up for our Digital Vault which is like Dropbox or any of the other online storage sites out there. It's a free 500MB account with no strings attached.
If you want to help me out then go here http://www.mydh.com/RegistrationFriendsAndFamily.aspx and sign up. For the promotion code that helps me out you have to put my email address in which is peter.muir
Now the catch is that please use real or somewhat real information. Using names like Joe Blow and lol@lol.com is not going to count for me. However using other names such as Dan Goodfellow will not. Signing up more than once is okay too as long as you use all new information.
Uncheck the box at the bottom so you don't get any email (not like we send any out anyways and it's all kept private)
I'll post pics if I do win the TV so if I've helped you out with spyware please help me out :D

Hollywood have got to stop doing shakycam fight scenes. It's so stupid now. Michelle Yeoh would like tap a bad guy on the shoulder and the camera would ZOOM in 10 times a second and spin 360 degrees. You'd have Vin Diesel clotheslining or punching a dude and the camera man would just press record, do a ballerina spin and call it a day. I shit you not, there is a scene in Babylon A.D. where Vin Diesel jumps on a car, and the camera man totally enters THE INTENSE ZONE. There was absolutely no need for it, he was just fine beforehand and decided he wanted to get on a car and then "ZZZZOOOOOOOM WHIP SHAKE WHIP SHAKE". Shakycam stuff is getting crazy guys.
Imagine having one of these shakycam artists videotaping your wedding or graduation. Come on. You get handed your diploma and it's just "ZOOOOOOOOOM WHIP SLASPHGPUSGHSHSLUH *BOOM*" INTENSE-O-CAM PG13 MODE. "You may kiss the bride". And you lean in to kiss your wife and the camera guy's just like 'AAAAAAAUUUUUUUHHHHGGGHHHH ZOOOOOM 80 MILES AN HOUR SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE WHIP SHAKE ZOOOM IN ZOOM OUT ZOOM IN SHAKE SPPLSOOOOSSH"
Remember in The Incredible Hulk when tim roth got kicked against that tree? See, you just can't do a shakycam on something like that and it still be good. Just show me what's going on. Do not give me a seizure hollywood.

for me it's taskbar shuffle. it lets you rearrange your taskbar buttons at any time. i'm a whore for having things in a certain order so if i have to restart firefox (or whatever) i can drop it back into its proper #2 location between #1irc and #3newsleecher. i actually read about it here first and it now ranks right up there with netmeter for me. oh and it's free.

I copied some folders from a XP machine to a Leopard machine, and a bunch of subfolders' permissions got to read/write got set to "nobody." Other than doing this for each folder, is a there a way to change the permissions for all the folders? Changing the permissions on the containing folder has no effect.

Looks pretty cool, I like the 'authenticity' and closeness to the license they did with the environments, the combat looked a little lackluster (and those slomo scenes were waayy to frequent), but It's supposedly the first 'build' so I'm hoping for more!
My first complaint about this sexy piece of technology.

i ask this once in awhile and i never get a response but here goes again, maybe somebody will notice this time.
Q: how do you log your workouts? i've been thinking about putting together a template excel sheet to track progress in weight and exercise but maybe somebody else has a better idea or a premade that will save me the trouble of ocd'ing a spreadsheet.
Q: also, same question but with diet. who tracks calories / protein / carb / sugar / etc intake by way of record?
i'm getting pretty serious about this so the next step is nailing down a solid diet.
