Tag: Links

Due to recent crackdowns at the office on Internet access, this is likely to be the last PLotW. Also due to those crack downs, there is only one link this week.

Update: In case you are wondering why the links went up today instead of Friday that would be due to the Thanksgiving holiday being celebrated this week. As an extra bonus, here’s a sneak peek on a little WP hack I’ve been working on. Once I know that my code is correctly displaying the number of spam comments in the moderation queue; I’ll post it. Since I’m a -Z^42 list blogger1 it will probably take a day or two before I get any spam comments in my queue. So please be patient.

Over the weekend, Ariesna & I went with some friends to watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I went into the movie with extremely low expectations1 but much to my surprise; I rather liked the movie. Sure huge chunks of the book were wacked out, but you have to expect that when you are taking 734 pages of text and converting it into a movie just over 2.5 hours long. The special effects were upto pair with anything in the prior movies. Also, although the actor playing Mad-Eye Moody didn’t look quite like I had pictured the character; he did a nice job of it. Overall, I give this one a thumbs up and it will eventually be going in my DVD collection (unlike some the previous one).

1 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was such a wretched film that it nearly ruined the entire series for me.
