I enjoyed the Apple keynote, and especially enjoyed the songs by Chris Martin at the end (who knew that he is actually quite funny?) But when I went to the Apple website in search of iTunes 10 (it said it was ten, but gave me 9.something anyway, so I’ll try again later) I saw the [...]
Some great Mac shortcuts and tips!
by Matt on 29. Aug, 2010 in Mac
I’ve stayed up far too late, to the point where it’s probably not worth going to bed. On the plus side, I have found some really cool Mac tips that I feel it would be wrong not to share! Dashboard widgets on the Desktop – I never use the dashboard feature, because it means leaving [...]
iMac: The Story so far [update]
by Matt on 28. Aug, 2010 in Mac
This post follows on from the previous one which can be read here. I decided to try and stress the system using something other than Counter-Strike. I created a fairly complicated After Effects project with about 10 layers all moving in needlessly complicated ways, with effects on top. I set it to render, it said [...]
iMac: The Story so far.
by Matt on 28. Aug, 2010 in Mac
I thought I’d post a bit of an update on how I’m finding the iMac so far. I’m typing this on the iMac, which means it’s still working. Just. I had originally planned to do some performance tests with various video/graphics editing apps, but never got round to it. I have been able to do [...]
I’m not sure about this VDS..
by Matt on 20. Aug, 2010 in Waffle
After 48(ish) hours, I’m not sure whether I’ll continue paying £10 per month on this virtual server. I’ve tried quite a few free control panels, but as I’ve previously mentioned, cPanel really takes some beating. Total cost is then £25 a month (oh yeah, plus VAT), so it’s no longer a cheap experiment. I don’t [...]

Worst. Film. Ever.
I don’t mean to go over the top, but earlier on, I decided to watch ‘Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief’… Good God, what a waste of time that was. I don’t mean a waste of my time spent watching it (yes the time was wasted, but it was a bit of a laugh, and only a couple of hours gone), I mean a waste of time making it.
Someone, at some point must have taken a step back and thought that it was good. They must’ve also thought that it was good enough to release and share with the world.
I know it is primarily aimed at children, but I think it’s pretty unfair for children to be exposed to such shoddy films. The plot was ridiculous, and relied on many coincidences to succeed, the acting was, at best, suspect, and…isn’t that enough.
But still, it is probably worth a watch, if only as an example of what filmmakers shouldn’t do.
