today Sun released “Darkstar“, game server middleware aimed at mmorpg’s. Sun’s got a lot of iron the furnace atm, now let’s see what slags off and not, Darkstar seems interesting from the interoperability angle, but other than that. heh, it’s Sun, its bound to be built on java without midp support.

single node only, multinode is slated for a later release so no big iron fawning just yet — sorry for the Laynia Petrovna title-bait ;)

Seriously, I enjoy counterculture comics as much as the next joker.

But I feel uneasy when my spandex clad superheroes go ubermacho and slash-stereotypes on steroids with a knack for ultraviolence.

or when a cheesy brit gal adorning the union jack on her jacket, or say, a guy who’s been kidnapped by aliens errr.. make that abducted but anyway, and operated upon to have gymnastic soles for feet and travels through cities in a cocoon.

but after reading the “earth inferno” album about “The Authority” by Warren Ellis, I gotta ask myself, seriously Warren, cthulhu phallic fetishes from outer space? What the hell?!

so uhm, seems like Gainax are showing a remake of the cult anime “Neon Genesis Evangelion” tv-series.

so wanting this to show in Sweden or Europe for that matter probably is asking too much. but hey, whoever thought the mafiaa connected franchises were making decent business decisions, is sadly Wrong.

i’m tossing my shemagh, frakking ColinFarrel.

I’ve had a Shemagh in one form or another since highschool, they make for a warm winter here in Sweden as opposed to sub-arctic cold. and now. it’s become trendy since reactionary is cooler than conservative.

Thanks Hollywood, promote more idiots if you would, please, can’t wait for the next Paris Hilton movie. yeah, right. Seriously.

I AM MEGATRO^H yeah so I’ve seen Transformers, the new movie. the Live Action movie.

the one with huge mecha breakin’ and slamming into buildings. it was all I ever wanted out of the movie and damn they delivered.

and yeah, who cares Optimus has a mouth or that Bumblbee is a camaro :/ — love the car park in the beginning where bumblebee is parked next to a yellow bug.
