StarGate

June 19th 2007 23:06
As you may very well know by now ,as of this week( June19,2007) Stargate will almost come to an end. I say Almost 'coz eventually, there will be two near feature length movies to come afterwards. Its almost sad that it had to end this way. I know that it has been an incredible run "a record" ten years. The story lines have been foe the most part been freash with rehashing oldnes as far as stories go. thre story arc's have been excellant, most notable was the search for ancient tech stuff and finally ending up with Merlin. I mourn the loss of the Go' auld as they were a formidable adversary. They could have extended that story plot, but hey why As you may very well know by now ,as of this week( June19,2007) Stargate will almost come to an end.

This coming friday will be a block buster of a time to watch the ending. As the teaser said they will go out with a bang. I hope that it will not be a final death to the team ,for I would like them to be together again.

I will report back with a review of the final episode or nearly final
----------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- --------------
After watching last nights final episode of StarGate, I was almost pleased with the way it all ended. For the most part There was the drama and the waiting for what happens next. I barely got by the middle part where the "Time Dilation field" was holding sway.I hate these time "stops".It felt like a very long intermission. I also hate when the characters are portraying their actors feelings in a way. They seemed to portray the partying feeling at the end of a long career, short for a few and long for the already seasoned professional. In one scene, I thought That Michael Shanks gave a most impressive delivery of his career. He almost was explosive in his feelings as Daniel towards Vala(Claudia Black). That scene made me perk up get me more involved with his character thqan ever. It was heartwarming.
It was morobund for most of the episode. But, as was promised, they did nearly go out with a advertised "Bang".
As a closing commentary to the beloved Richard Dean Anderson, they ended with his pride and joyous "list" of Cliches which were more than appropriate for a glorious ending.

In closing, the end is not what it is or was appearing to be. Of course they had to leave open somewhat of a hole to fill for the forthcoming feature "tv/cable" films to come.I will let you the reader make up your own mind as to the possible outcomes of the next installments to the this most wonderous show that has lasted for more than ten years.

XNA Refresh and Orcas

May 10th 2007 10:01
I have been so busy these past few weeks and there is much to report. During the first week of April, Microsoft released a refresh of the beta of CSharp Express. Also, with this came Orcas the next level of programming. This release includes, LINQ stands for "Language Integrated Query". This is used in tandem with the SQL server 2005 express to provide an easier understanding of the database language.
The reason they (MS) integrated LINQ into SQL , was I think, to smooth over the rough spots in the interface of the whole programming theatre. It makes for an enjoyable experience to bind together data with the rest of the program.
On the XNA front though, are the improvements over the previous release. Some of the components have been improved. The one inclusion is the ability to have your own fonts included into the code.
I will go into some detail later on this month with more info.

Here is a link to find out more about LINQ
Really Long Link

Heroes

February 11th 2007 13:23
The seccond season or half season of Heroes is in full swing. there are numerous speculations and guess's abound about the series. The series is a phenominal success so far, even though it is getting into the nitty gritty of the story line. As you may or may not know by now, the series is based on a format around a serial comic book idea. The idea is to have a damsel and comrades come together to save all mankind from empending doom.
The first part of the story ,by basic story-telling is to get to know the characters. Then develop their personnas, so as to get the viewer familiar with the characters involved. the premise is modified a wee bit to not make it a linear story line. The whole story is multi faceted to try to keep the audience engaged. There are a lot of switches , turns , and blind alleys to keep us al guessing as what will happen next.
All in all it is a very interesting story that is being woven for our enjoyment.
