I’m done with the transfer!!

Paul

I’m done with blogger.  I’ve had some problems importing blogger.  I’ve had to search for a good plugin to import my old blogger into Word Press and found it.  I used a plugin called Blogger RSS importer.  It seemed to work really well, I did have to go through and delete a couple double post of mine because I had trouble with the first time around but if you find any Double post please let me know and I’ll fix!!!  I’ll start blogging more often in a few days, I’ve got some good ideas for my blog!

Wall-E Review of the Day!

Paul

Laugh out loud funny, Good for all the Family!

[rating:4/5]

I really enjoyed this movie and My two young kids ages 3 and 6 actually watched it all the way through the Hour and half Movie.

Synopsis:
After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, WALL•E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. EVE comes to realize that WALL•E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet’s future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans (who have been eagerly awaiting word that it is safe to return home). Meanwhile, WALL•E chases EVE across the galaxy and sets into motion one of the most exciting and imaginative comedy adventures ever brought to the big screen.

Joining WALL•E on his fantastic journey across a universe of never-before-imagined visions of the future, is a hilarious cast of characters including a pet cockroach, and a heroic team of malfunctioning misfit robots.

Filled with surprises, action, humor and heart, WALL•E was written and directed by Andrew Stanton, produced by Jim Morris, co-produced by Lindsey Collins and features original and innovative sound design by Academy Award®-winner Ben Burtt.

If you like science fiction and comedy, you will love this move.  Go see this movie in digital.  It has stunning graphics and is well done with the plot.  You will like this movie due to the way you get involved with Wall-E.  I suggest you go see this film on the big screen before you try to see this film on the small screen.  You will thoroughly enjoy this movie.  This is definitely designed for all ages.

The plot makes you want to root for the good guy, and boo the bad guy(which there is one but I won’t say who or what!!)  You will be laughing and crying all the way to the end. I can’t say much more than that. It is the best movie that has come out this year.  All I can say is go see it and decide for yourself.

The Levelator — Now onto podcasting!!

Paul

Great for podcasting

I found this great program out. it’s called the Levelator. It shows to me that it can be done with making a podcast viable.  I am thinking of doing a podcast and would love to here what people want to hear or you could help me come up with a name.  Throw those names out and let me know what you want the podcast to be called.  I’d love to hear what people want out of the next podcast.  Your oppinions count.  If you don’t suggest anything, I’ll be forced to come to up with me myself.

Spore Creature Creation — Unleashed

Paul

I’ve been playing around with Spore Creature Creation a couple days.  I must say for the so called Demonstration game is not bad.  It actually works quite well at making basic creatures.  I made some basic creatures myself. Some of the creatures I’ve made should be able to survive when Spore goes online.  One of my favorite ones is Natsela, although the generic name generator is kind of lame.  I like the way you can upload little videos up to YouTube.  The Creature creation is really nice to make the creatures. The videos that I uploaded to YouTube can be seen HERE.

My Dinosaurs:

As you can see, I’ve made some other types of dinosaurs and this one is one of the ones, you won’t want to meet in person.  Although, the sophistication of this creature isn’t as much as others have created in the full version, I think I could start off with this one and actually be quite happy with him.  When the game goes live I’d evolve him into a fearsome dinosaur, and would be able to fight of others without much trouble.

My stalking Dinosaur

I also have some theories as to why they released the Creature Creator early.  I know some people have thought about this themselves and know that it’s all just speculation and theories but I wouldn’t mind seeing the game when it comes out.  Are they, also going to release a demonstration or a Trail version of the full game.  I would say they are because they did the demo version of the Creature Creation.

Now what about these theories I have.  Here are some of them, and I am sure you will like them.  The reason they released Creature creation early is so they have a base line of creatures to use when the game go live.  This means that if you start playing with this creature when you start they have other creatures to draw from to help populate the game and make the game play even more enjoyable.  Now that comes with a price.  You will probably have limits when you first begin because you did not start off as a single celled organism.  Essentially making the game play fair and making sure there is not any cheaters trying to create a powerful creature and swooping down killing other peoples creatures.  I say the more complex the creatures are going to be the more chance of you having to fight off attacks of the AI, they probably made an +2 attribute for head monsters that will be retrieved from the sporepedia and then it will add the attributes to it to make it even more powerful.  So I was thinking starting off from the beginning to get used to how the game reacts and all.  Then once you get used to it to load up your creature and try it out.

Now on a nicer note, I love to see the creatures everyone else is making to just seeing the creativity of the community.  I also like the animated Avatars you can make with them.  Like these two:

Now if you like the avatars and want to create your own all you need to do is look for it.  I love the avatar selections, If you have an avatar you want to show off use the comments and show yours off.  If you dare.

Calling all Geeks: Keith’s SysAdmin Meme

Now I’m call all you out!!

As you can see I’ve got Several people here who you don’t think would reply or even think about doing this.  I have a plan.  I want these people to tell their story about this memo.  I challenge them to actually post their responses on their blog or Podcast.  I want to hear your story about the old days.  I want to find out all about what people think or did to get into the IT profession!! I have this grand Idea to hear from the people and find out their story.  That is why if you do talk about the memo link back to me so I’ll know.

If you think you’re not a computer geek or a Sysadmin, I know better.  I am sure you have family or friends that you’ve had to work on their computer for some reason or other.  You have the skills even if you didn’t know it.  I want to know how you got into the IT Field.  I want to compile all this information to help people to get into the field and all this information is valuable to people.

I dare you Scoble, Mark, and the Co-founders to be the first to do it.  You know you want to!!!
