I’m working on a little project which is basically almost all the way through the pipeline. Majority of the things needed for start up I already had in posession. Just one part remains to be acquired. After the acquisition the launch should follow suit in about a week maximum.

My lil brother was watching tv like about 10 minutes ago and he’s a disney watcher. So I’m sure I heard tom green voice so i intervene to change the channel cuase I dont want him watching that junk. To my surprise its a disney flick. called Bob the butler.. I’m extremely surpised to see tom green in any movie on Disney

This Movie Rocks So hard that my head hurts after watching it. I’ve seen it twice since this morning and I’ve gotta say Its been ages since any thing has moved me so much… This is no doubt at the pinnacle of gaming/movie/Anime events in history.. Well done square enix, very well played.
Two years after the events which took place in the video game the movie Advent children begins. Cloud and Tifa have both began living normal lives running a delivery service, and apparently caring for some orphans as well. The Final Fantasy Movie displayed the maturity level which took place with the characters both on a physical and mental level and also showed mental blocks and hindrances, mainly in the case of cloud.
The fight sequences in this Final Fantasy movie were extremely awesome they gave more than enough action that left no one complaining. Practically the second have of the movie was an entire fight. All that you’ld expect in a Final Fantasy sight was presented. Summoning, hand to hand combat it was all there. Of all the fights I feel I Enjoyed Tifa and loz’s fight the most. Tifa pwned him. Well up until he got that phone call, the ring tone will give most final fantasy 7 fans a kick.
From kadaj’s gang kadaj is undoubtedly the best. He proves this in his final fight with cloud, before his reunion with mother which turned out in the return of the great one Sephiroth. I was a little disappointed in Sephiroth’s performance. However This cloud was very different form that of Final Fantasy VII the video game. He was very calm, very collected and It also seems Confident for most of the fight. Clouds final move was pretty awesome, that multiple sword in one was pretty frikking awesome.
The team work in the movie on both parts was really great and really showed that final fantasy feeling. Kadaj’s gang did it when fighting cloud at the old captial city. Clouds’ gang did it when fighting bahemoth in the city. The team work for the final move that defeated bahemoth was great. Vincent would have had to have the last say in the stack of characters, yah. He’s the coolest.
I would give Final Fantasy VII Advent Children a 4 thumbs up but i only have 2 hands ergo.. They get both. My favorite performance from the characters where Kadaj’s acting very believable, Vincent, Tifa and Cloud, really great fighting.

Very shortly I’m gonna dust of my playstation 1 [ remake ] and get a copy of Final Fantasy VII, I must finish that game. It is an otaku’s mandate.

So I made a lil flash banner with the tutorials I’ve been doing over the past days. Nothing too complex just a simple text motion tween, you know those cheesy text effects that these companies seem to cant get enough of. Any way I uploaded it to photobucket and embedded the object in the blogger template and set the “value” and the “data” attributes of the object tag.
The anomaly is I see the flash banner when i load my blog others complain that the page doesn’t even load. Thinking about it I realized i’m using the latest release of macromedia flash “version 8″. could it be that they need to update the shockwave/flash player thats integrated with their browsers?? If thats not the case I really dont know.
As you can see I have reverted to my crappy attempt of making a dropshadow effect similar to that used in the movie “the talented mr ripley”. This is only temporary hopefully I can fix the flash banner problem before the week is out

Now after using both of these apps and scrutinizing both of their functionality. I’ve gotta say skype wins the voip client battle. Both google talk and skype are excellent clients, one of kind so to speak, as there are no other apps out there that offer this quality of service where viop is concerned. The differentiation between the two is apparent in.

Interface

Skype’s blows google talks’ right out of the water. More colorful and eye catching. However google talk has a cleaner, smother, sleeker look than skype.. I guess there’s a loss and again to usage of lots of colors.. Screen shots of both clients below

Functionality

Both the clients essentially do the same thing right voip calling, conferencing, full duplex data transfer text based chat “IM”. Where voip is concerned yes. Where chatting and IM is concerned WRONG.. OH SO VERY WRONG. The chatting module of skype is far more thought out than that of google talks. There are no smiles in google talk, their sad attempt at smilies resulted in a blue highlight of the symbols for a smile. Resulting in or ;). Skype on the other hand delivers the real thing, glossy looking smilies which we all have become dependent on when expressing our emotions.. [ bless those emoticons with all your heart ].

Multi-platformed

By this I mean, the core client applications porting to the various operating systems. In the case of skype it was designed for all the major operating systems, Linux which I currently use, windows, Mac and last but not least pocket PC. Google talk on the other hand rather than making their base client application accessible to all the operating system. They made the client on a familiar protocol.. one we know as Jabber this enabled google to simply keep the google talk application native to windows and allow other operating system users to access the service via multiprotocolled IM clients, E.G. Gaim, Ichat, Trillian Pro etc. There wouldn’t be too much of a problem with googles decision in the event that all the features avaible in the google talk client [ native to windows ] would still be avaliable to the other operating system users “Namely Me”. The case however is the voip module of the application is not accessible to non windows users. so its more like google chat than google talk to us Linux or Mac users.

I declare skype the winner of the voip telephony wars and would whole heartedly recomend it over google talk.

You can/could download skype or google talk and test em both for yourselves but i’ld save the time and probably get skype instead

Download Google talk
Downlaod Skype

P.S ebay wishes to buy skype. I hope this doesn’t change the fundamental ideology behind skype..

Comments are welcome.

Took some screen shot of the Sony Ericsson p800 since morning. Looking on it now I’ve really tricked out my phone. I’ve gotta go to cable and wireless and get a sim cause I need gprs on the go. and digicel is really not budging on their prices apparently.. ne way here are the screen shots comment what you think.

I’m trying my hand in Macromedia flash as I dont want to have to mix with designers I want to be able to design my own applications for my super scripting ability. Starting today hope it works out.

Well it isn’t much of a difference but we hid the cable using trunkings “not sure if thats how its spelt” but that thing that they use to hide networking cables in offices etc..

Yeh she’s cute but she’s alot of trouble and work constantly pulling my sheet off my bed chewing peoples shoes / slippers, stealing my socks and hiding them. She’s definately the most trouble some pet I’ve ever had, but its cool I think I’ve grown accostomed to her and her annoying actions.

Bml actually came through and delivered me a brand new power supply / adapter for my notebook. Well done HP.. Well done..
