The Hulk

   We saw the Hulk tonight, it was a decent movie. Nothing like the old TV Hulk, but who would want to see the old Hulk anymore. I will definitely being buying the DVD when it comes out. The story had some interesting twists, yet I found myself liking the C.G.I in the movie when the Hulk transformed into his big, green, bad ole self.

   I would give this movie a 7.5 out of 10 for being slightly different and having a good ending. They leave it open for future movie sequels, of course, why would they only make one. That would be like X-men only making one movie, or Spiderman not having a sequel, you can bet there will be a Part Two of the Hulk.

   Okay, enough about the Hulk, next week the Terminator 3 comes out and I'll be checking it out, sometime during the week. Terminator 3 previews look to be very promising so far. Don't worry, I'll let you in on the scoop when I see it.

I was having this problem on my computer, I checked to see if I had the update installed, I did, so I installed the patch and everything is noticeably smoother now. I was having memory performance problems, slow to open windows and programs. Everything is running great now. I would definitely install this patch if you have the mentioned hot fix installed. Thanks to XP News for pointing this issue out!

Cool Matrix Screen Saver

So I went and viewed Matrix:Reloaded last weekend, I was thoroughly impressed. I will say that I didn't like the way it led up to the ending, but I will most positively be seeing the next one when it comes out.

Which brings me to today's little jeweled nugget that I found deep within the layers of the world wide web. This screen saver is simply cool to watch. It does the Matrix's scrolling characters, like what Neo looks at when he observes the network. I have uploaded it to my server so you can download the file. I would recommend that you have a fairly decent video card for this to work. I imagine if you set the properties in the screen saver options for it to the lowest settings it could work with older video cards.

Art Gallery is Working

I have now converted the Art Gallery in to a database storage system. You can now post comments and view a little more information about the art itself.

Next on the agenda is getting the Forums fully functional and integrated into the inner workings with the rest of the Mav2u site. The work never ends!

Finally, I have the daily blogging up and running!

Well, after switching servers to a new domain provider, transfering all the MySQL data my blogging portion of the site is functional. I will blab more later as I only have a short time to type tonight. I still have to get the Digital Photo Database up and running and write an essay for tomorrow nights Humanities class.

Things might be a little jumbled and change some more over the next week but don't worry it's all about the new improved upgrades which allow me to control the content of the sight a whole lot easier.
