OpenID Fun

Posted on by

I’ve been messing around with my OpenID, which blogger runs for me, on OpenID enabled sites like Propeller and Magnolia (both digg alternatives). Which has been quite fun. I also found Plaxo, which seems to sync all your contacts (OS, email server, email client, IM services) and it created a generic profile that allows you to have your youtube, last.fm, myspace, facebook, twitter, digg …. (The list goes on) stuff all in one places. It basically puts every Web 2.0 app in one place and includes calendar and address book syncing with several services. It seems really new so it’ll be nice to see how it turns out.

When pasting some items on Pastebin.ca, which I do quite often, I noticed an OpenID flavored login box, I further explored their site and noticed that they also do a image and file hosting service too, which I’m going to use for the moment. Skitch is a handy app to have, to take screenshots and upload to the net, allowing you to highlight certain aspects of the screenshot easily. A one click image upload feature is really handy, and I have enjoyed Skitch so far. I suggest you check these out.

I’m generally pleased with Bloggers OpenID simplicity.

Movie Marathon

Posted on by

Last night/This morning, I went to the movie marathon with Jade(my girl friend), Rebbecca and Matt. The movie marathon started at 9pm and finished at around 4.15am and in which time we saw “Epic Movie“, “Night at the Museum“, “Eragon” and last but not least “Borat“.

Epic Movie
4 orphans find themselves holding golden tickets to enter the “Willy Wonka” choclate factory. All goes wrong when they find out that they are going to be used as ingredients in some chocolate bars, the attempt to hide by entering a closet (”Gnarnia”) ect ect ect.
The movie is basically satire of over films all wrapped in one. Good movie and I personally suggest you go see it.

  • Comedy
  • Really good flowing story line
  • A really good laugh

Night at the Museum
Company is lacking funds to keep the current 3 night guards and so they hire a new fit night guard to replace the old. He finds out that everything in the museum turns to real at night because of a curse. All hell breaks loose when the 3 orignal guards attempt to steal some of the museums belongings.
It wasn’t to bad though it was really slow in parts which really made me loose interest. Still a fairly good movie, aimed at kids I think.

  • Good for kids
  • Doesn’t involve thinking

Eragon
Ok, to be honest I missed the story line since I feel asleep in parts but this is how I think it goes. Guy finds dragon egg, guy trains dragon, guy defeats some evil person.
The parts I did see were fairly cool though it’s storyline seemed a little typical and not original. Still go and see though, because it is really cool.
Borat
Borat goes from his country of Kazakhstan to USA to bring back good idea’s for his county and also teach USA about how his country. He falls in love with Pamela and changes from a documentary to a love story.
I enjoyed it, though it does have some nasty pictures in there.

  • Great movie
  • Comedy
