Happy Fathers’ Day!
Michelle surprised me this morning with every man’s dream Fathers’ Day gift: A toolbox! And it comes with some screwdrivers and hex wrenches, too! Perfect for holding my growing collection of tools!
Love you, babe! :*
A few days ago, I found out about a new firmware update for the Buffalo Linkstation Live. I was able to download it right away but I postponed updating until I was less busy. Tonight, I finally updated and, aside from a handful of changes (read the details in the release notes), the most significant difference is the BitTorrent client. Instead of the clunky (but functional) client, it is now µTorrent which just happens to be my preferred BitTorrent client. And best of all, it continues the incomplete torrents of the old client. Absolutely great!
It’s a shame that subtitled movies don’t make too much in local cinemas because this means few, if any, subtitled movies end up being shown. This means most people end up with just local movies (which have a long way to go) and the usual Hollywood fare. Unfortunately, they’re missing out on a lot because there’s a whole bunch of good foreign language movies out there, French, Chinese, Korean, and even, in this case, is Swedish.
It’s a good thing you have a choice and don’t have to rely on the local cinemas. With a little bit of application of technology here and there, you can enjoy foreign language movies in the comfort of your own home. I’m talking DVDs and BluRays here :|
James and I finally finished playing Resident Evil 5. This is the 5th installment of the Resident Evil series but I haven’t actually played any of the previous games. So I started this with a clean expectations and a pretty open mind. Of course, this didn’t help making the storyline any clearer. As I said in my review of Metal Gear Solid 4, there’s something about Japanese story lines that make them convoluted and, sometimes, even incomprehensible.
The kitchen sink at home developed a leak. It turned out that the cold water supply hose had deteriorated and was leaking. Because I didn’t have time to look closer, I just closed the water supply valve to the sink and asked Michelle to buy a new hose. The next day, she bought a 1/2″ to 1/2″ hose which according to the salespeople at the hardware store is the normal sink hose. But when I looked under the sink, it didn’t look like it will fit the faucet end at all.
