DJ Honda - Get On Your Job

Monday, October 13th, 2008

FatFaceFreddy:

aiight so DJ Honda, you know who the fuck he is and if you dont….well just listen and learn. So one night Im watching a movie called STUCK with the white bitch from American Beauty and the movie opens with this ill ass Rawcotiks track….and before I can even finish watching that shit Im checkin the credits then on the net lookin all over the fuckin place for this, and for anyone whos been looking for this, take it with good expectations.

So one night I’m watching this movie Stuck with Mena Suvari of the American Beauty fame and the movie opens with this shit ass track “Get On Your Job” and before I can even start watching this movie I’m googling for the lyrics to get the artist’s and track name. No luck. Next minute I’m watching the end credits and there it is: DJ Honda - Get On Your Job. Lots of googling and I finally find the FatFaceFreddy post…

Truly a badass track.

On tradition

Monday, May 19th, 2008

- A bit tight under the arms, don’t you think?
- Traditional fit, sir. One can’t raise one’s arms above one’s head. It tends to inhibit any impulsive acts of surrender.

I was laughing very hard.

WP Movie Ratings v1.5 released!

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

It’s been 1,5 years since the release of v1.4 of WP Movie Ratings plugin. Actually, there are not that many changes in version 1.5. Following the tradition, odd minor version numbers are more or less maintenance releases, witout any big features.

Here is the changelog:

  • added option to add movies without rating them (only through the administration panel) (to create a list of owned just not yet seen dvds, for example).
  • added option to select all ‘only_rated’ or ‘only_not_rated’ movies using the wp_movie_ratings_show() function call.
  • char_limit option can now be passed as a parameter to the wp_movie_ratings_show() function call.
  • fixed problems making the movie reviews pages non XHTML compliant.
  • fixed error which prevented certain users from activating the plugin (the database table was not created).
  • fixed XHTML validation error in the bookmarklet.

You will find the detailed list of changes in the changelog file. And here’s the direct download link. Enjoy!

Great talk. Short, only 25 minutes. Don’t know who Larry Lessig is? Shame on you…

Steve Yegge live

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

After yesterday’s best read of the month here comes the best show of the day. Which is Steve Yegge, live, talking about branding during 2007 OSCON. Without any slides. 25 minutes.

He also reveals that in his opinion Javascript2 will be the Next Big Language (NBL). I was kind of suspecting this would be it. Coincidently, lately I’ve discovered (what a big word) jQuery. And let me tell you, I’ve never seen any other piece of code, which is so concise and does so many things with so much style. Prototype, dojoToolkit and all other js libraries simply look pale in comparison. I’m hooked on jQuery and use it for every new project, while trying to implement it in my old ones too.

Top 10 movies of 2007

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

Just like for 2006 and 2005 here are ten movies I’ve seen in 2007 that completely blew my mind:

  1. Children of Men (2006)
  2. Mr. Brooks (2007)
  3. The Prestige (2006)
  4. The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)
  5. Stella che non c’è, La (2006)
  6. Zwartboek (2006)
  7. Ostrov (2006)
  8. Reign Over Me (2007)
  9. I Am Legend (2007)
  10. The Namesake (2006)

As usual, Hollywood movies occupy most of the list. 6 out of 10 places to be exact. Nothing changes.

Will Smith man of the year? Surely, he’s already a legend.

32nd Polish Film Festival Gdynia ‘2007

Friday, October 12th, 2007

32. Polish Film Festival. 5 days of screenings. 18 movies seen. I had the chance to experience some of the best Polish cinema ever. I’m a big movie fan and as I’m from Poland I try to watch every possible Polish movie I can (and no, I’m not that patriotic, I was thinking about emigration many times…). Each year it’s different. There were better years, there were worse years. But this year the festival has surpassed my expectations by a very large margin. Most movies were outstanding. This was one of the best if not the best Polish Film Festival ever. Every Polish movie I have seen was either very good or great. There was only one bad movie in the whole main competition, namely Braciszek, so there is no usual Top 5 of the worst festival movies. Here are the best ones:

The best movies of the festival (TOP 5):

  1. Katyń (2007)
  2. Korowód (2007)
  3. Sztuczki (2007)
  4. Aleja gówniarzy (2007)
  5. Pora umierać (2007)

I miss those festival days so much…

During the festival I was also a photographer (or rather a photo reporter). Here are the links to my work:

And since I could not decide which pictures to put up here, I’m presenting you the best three of the many I took:
