Appleseed Ex Machina is better in just about every way than its predecessor Appleseed. The animation is amazing, without trying to look too realistic. The story has much more depth and you come away feeling like you’ve watched a film, rather than a cartoon.
If you are a fan of Japanimation, give it a go.

Journey to the Center of the Earth is definitely a kids film, but don’t let that put you off because it’s quite enjoyable. I wasn’t that bothered about seeing the film itself. I was more interested to see the 3D stuff in action. Unfortunately when I got to the cinema I found out they were [...]
I had great expectations for The Forbidden Kingdom because it stars Jet Li, Jackie Chan and Collin Chou (Seraph from The Matrix II & III), but I was a little disappointed. I’m not saying it was a bad film. Far from it. I enjoyed it and I would recommend it to any martial arts fan, [...]
phpBB 3.0.2 has been released, so it’s time to get those upgrade hats on. I’ve just upgraded my forum using the automatic update package and it worked fine. Happy upgrading.

I mentioned in a previous post I was speaking at the UKOUG DE SIG today. The talk itself went fine, but I had a bit of a scare before hand. I drove from work to the venue and managed to get lost, which is a little surprising as it was in Birmingham and I’ve lived [...]
I read Jake’s post this morning and it hit a raw nerve because I’m a bit slack on the Calendar front. I use the calendar on my phone, but don’t sync it to anything, so when I “misplaced” my phone yesterday morning I had lost everything… Fortunately I found my phone last night, but it [...]
Some quick thoughts on the state of desktop virtualization tools…
Background
If you’ve been checking out my RAC articles, you’ll have probably noticed I’m a bit of a VMware fan. I originally used VMware Workstation, but switched to the free VMware Server when it was released in 2006. I don’t have much cause to complain about VMware [...]
Robert Scoble just shared a link to Pencil Turns Firefox into a Drawing Tool, which points to the home of the Pencil add-on. It’s a pretty neat tool for drawing basic diagrams and prototyping screens.

Hancock was a bit of a surprise. It’s a story about a superhero who’s down on his luck and is looking for redemption. It was a genuinely funny movie that only descended into cornball cheese a couple of times. I knew nothing about the story before I went to the movie, so there were a [...]
This article is the last in the “Security: New Features” section of the OCP upgrade exam syllabus, which includes:
Case Sensitive Passwords
Tablespace Encryption
Fine Grained Access to Network Services
Just because these are the only security new features listed in the exam, don’t be fooled into thinking they are the only things you should care about. There are [...]
