Going to Ribno

Yes here it is. One of the best parts of the year. The yearly scout camping in our fairytale place in Ribno.
I'm leaving day after tomorrow and I won't be able to write to my blog. So be patient and wait for 10 more days, for me to come back.
I'll write about it then and I hope I'll even get some photos from there.

Tomorrow I have my last exam for summer period (and only one more to go).

Stormbraker

Do you think James Bond is a little bit too old for his job.
Well if you do. This is the movie for you.
An action movie about young spy that got the job because of his uncle.
His uncle dies in weird circumstances. Even his nephew doesn't really know nothing about his true work.
As it is shown later he was raised to become a spy, his uncle trained him his all life (he is skilled fighter, sportsman, can speak many languages, and much more).
At the funeral he noticed that many people are there that he doesn't know who they are. And he gets suspicious. He encounters the MI6 headquarters. They want him to continue the work of his uncle and help them prevent the disaster. The world famous IT-tech man is building the system called Stormbraker. It is the system that will be used in public schools to help teaching young people.
However the thing is not as neat as it seems. The system in reality is a mass killing machine that kills all the users that are close enough.
The young spy manages to stop this disaster and and rescue the world.
It is a little funny movie but watchable.

Shooter

Well. It looks like the sniper - contract killer movies are "in".
This is another one. And I must say it's better then the last one (The Contractor). The story is about a long range shooter that is asked to help with security of the president.
But as it shows later the council of few individuals - being rich because of dirty work they do, has set him a trap to make him The killer.
He is one of two living snipers capable of shooting at that range in the world. But the plan fails and the shooter is not dead when he should be.
And the nightmare of council has begun. He gets help by rookie FBI agent that suspects something is not right about assassination attempt. He is sniffing arround and gets into trouble for it.
The shooter gets to him and gets him on his site. Tells him all that he knows and together they start to get to the bottom of it.
They find out all about dirty work and mass killings in Africa. How did the council get so rich and untouchable and who is the real shooter in assassination attempt.
There is also woman involved (as always). It is the wife of shooters dead partner.
The movie shows how the money and power can make you untouchable by law and how this people can do what ever they want.
But in the end they got killed by "unknown killer". Great action.

The Contractor

Action movie about a contract killer that is being "rented" to kill a very dangerous man that he encountered before. The task should be simple, but he should not be noticed.
And there is where he failed. He got noticed and seen. And because of that he became one of the most wanted man in London where all took place.
His partner was killed. And he didn't have anyone who he could relay on. That is when he met a young girl from next door, that helped him clean his name and tell the public who was behind all that.
The assassination was ordered by American secret service, that wanted him dead more then anything else. They even killed the police chief that was in head of investigation.
At the end it all carries out well for the contractor and he can safely return to his ranch somewhere in Rocky Mountains.
Nice action movie.

Adventure Race Slovenia 2007

And it is over. Well more then day ago actually.
The race was great, there were first Slovenian winners in history of our race. The weather was very mixed, from heat to rain storms. There were 14 teams that started the race and 10 of them finished the race.
You can find out more about the race and results here.
We were all very tired after the finish. I mean all the competitors and the organizers.
You can also find lot's and lot's of photos here.

Big Nothing

What to say about this one.

It's a comedy about a three people that want to get rich by blackmailing a priest. A priest was browsing through porn sites and they had a proof.
They are two man and a woman. They want to keep it all quiet and are counting that priest will pay without questions.
But as always, it doesn't go smooth. The money collector gets shoot. The alibi maker finds out that they can not use the alibi they planed. He also kills a man by accident.
There are many funny situations and they are all connected.
One of the criminal is also married to the sheriff. They also encounter a secret that they never thought about it.
They also find out that there is much more money in the game that they thought.
Nice comedy.

Doctor Who

Yes, I've got infected too.

A friend of mine told me about this series and I checked it on IMDB. The series runs form late 60's but the fun (the special effects and stuff) begins with latest edition in 2005.

The Doctor is an alien (a Time Lord) that is the last of his kind. He travels through time and space and keeps the history as it should be. He is taking care that more developed races do not interfere with the less developed ones. And he especially loves Humans.

He travels around in his spaceship that is cloaked in Police Box.

He chooses a companion that travels around with him. He prefers woman. It's, as my roomy calls it, "English Sci-Fi" (English meaning Great Britain). It contains British humor and all the actors speak British.

A really nice series. It somehow reminds me on The Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe (form 80's).

Number 23

Jim Carry in a thriller. I must say I liked it very very much.
It's about the number 23 and how it is connected with everything in the world. At least for the main character in this movie.
The story is very complex and really good. And it all starts when he begins reading the book 23.

A good one.

... Blah, blah, blah, ...

Yes, I know.
I've been bad boy and didn't write for quite some time now.
But I have two good reasons. I've passed two exams. Two more and I'm over with exams for this part of study (undergraduate).

We'll now is coming the busiest part of the year. ScoutFest, Adventure race Slovenia 2007, two more exams and for the finish yearly scout camp in Ribno.

Windows evolution

If you are too young to know all the versions of Windows that were out on the market, you can see some screen shots here. I must say that from version 3.0 I tried all of them.
They were good, but, now that I on Os X I just won't go back. I like this one so much more.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End

For quite a time we have a movie theater with special effects in town called XpanD, where I study. But I've never been there until a short while ago. Me and my friends wanted to see the third part of the Pirates, and we selected the XpanD.
It was quite nice with all the wind blows, water spilled, smoke and light effects. There were also some kicks in the butt, pokes in the legs and of course rumble.
The wind was quite strong and it made annoying cold in the room. But it was quite an experience.

Now lets say something about the movie too.
I liked it. It was about the rescuing of Jack Sparrow form the world between the living and death. The special effects are really great and the story is good to. It's a great pirate experience for the third time. Well it is a little long but it's worth it.

Jobs & Gates together on stage

Well, I thought I will not live to see this, but here it was. Few days back there was an interview wit CEO's two of the most known software development corporations in the world (well none of them is making only software), Bill and Steve.
Yes those two. Many people thought that they can't stand each other, that they will fight if they meet. But they surely are more civilized. And I must say that the interview was fair to both of them as well. They talked about the past of both companies, about their cooperation and how they contributed to the IT community.
Very nice chat about past, present and future. What they think of each other (and their companies), what is pushing them forward and who do they have to thanks for the success.
You can watch whole interview here in seven parts.
