heroes
Like most nerds, 3 things (primarily) take up my life: computers, comics and tv/movies. One of my favourite shows since it started has been heroes. Season 1 was great, season 2 started the downward spiral of the show, with the middle of season 3 starting the shows return to it’s former glory.
Alas, one thing I think the show has been missing is the ultimate Peter vs. Sylar showdown. Infact, the show has been missing a big showdown for <some character> vs. <some character>. For a show about people with super powers there seems to be a great lack of a display of superpowers on this show.
Peter and Sylar have met a few times with each time the fight ending after 10 seconds or so (s01e19 for example) or the producers/whoever cut away from the action and leave us to “imagine” what happens. One thing I would like to see is alot more fights. Sure, there is the plot to progress the story and such, but the comic book nerd in me wants to see fights. It wants to see people with super powers beating the shit out of each other.
Hopefully in the next season the writers and producers will finally get this right.
As part of upgrading the amount of hard drives in my current fileserver @ home I wanted to find a case which could handle more drives. I currently have a CM Stacker which handles 12 drives (utilising 4-in-3 cages) and I was finding it a bit of a hassle to constantly unplug/replug all of the drives to change one. While browsing the internet I came across the Norco RPC-4020, which is a 4RU case that handles 21 hard drives.
As I type this, i’ve spent the past 3 or so weeks watching Buffy & Angel (currently on Angel season 5) from start to finish. One thing that made me somewhat angry was how Angel was cancelled out of the blue and most of the characters never really had their stories closed. Once Angel was cancelled there were talks of a bunch of TV movies, spinoff shows etc (Faith, Spike) which never really eventuated.
It seems every time I visit a tech site hosted on wordpress, they are using the iNove theme. I’ve decided to move away from that theme and use something a bit plainer and a bit more customisable. Credit to the guys who made the theme (links are down the bottom), lets see what I can come up with from here!
