Terminator Salvation

The new Terminator film is currently in production and is called "TERMINATOR SALVATION". At last, the setting is at the beginning of the war between humans and robots. We'll be able to see the state in which humanity is, after skynet launched a nuclear missile at the end of the last film. Actor Christian Bale will be starring as John Connor. Here's the poster of the film:

The first two films in the franchise were excellent with good plot and plenty of action. The third one saw an aged Arnold acting as the cyborg and one could think "wow cyborgs also get old". But i felt that the film was not so bad and the better part was the climax when the cyborg sent John Connor away to hide and save his ass while we thought he was going to destroy skynet.

I watched the trailer of the movie (found here with a small plot summary) and i am really impatient for its release. i really hope the movie will be as successful as the others. Its also possible that "Salvation" is the first of a trilogy but i am not so sure.

So till next time, enjoy.

Blogging platform

Before i started to blog, i used to visit my friends' blog sometimes and now that i had decided to start blogging, i wanted to know which site is the most adapted for blogging by casual users like me. Many of my friends were on different blogging platforms and am nearly sure that they chose a platform based on what is the most popular in their opinion.

So before i chose a platform, i decided to surf the web to find a site where i could learn a bit more about maximizing my blogging experience.

So i noticed 2 sites that i find rather informative and helpful where i learned about hosted and non-hosted blogs, their advantages and disadvantages, blogs for businesses or personal blogs etc.

Here are the links:

Until next time.

First post. About my blog

So here i am again, after trying out msn livespaces which i nearly never posted on.
I never really had the time to post anything on it. The reasons are because i was in my final year at the university of Mauritius, that i was pressured into sleepless nights concentrating on my project and sometimes revision, that i did not find anyting interesting to post, that i did not have a wide variety of hobbies, occupations, i did not surf on the internet too much.

And now i have started to blog here coz sometimes i need to post something ( i've already 5 items on my mind) . Im starting to think that i dont have anything to lose by posting something every now and then and that i'll get some self satisfaction in writing my thoughts.

Most importantly i think i need change. So after having resisted the latest trend of being on facebook, i finally registered. i watched documentaries and read things on the internet saying approximately, and that may or may not be true, that facebook use information gathered from their site to target people for advertising or using facebook could make you disclose very personal things that can affect your life negatively e.g. a girl was thrown out of college due to some pictures on facebook. But i personnally think that as long as you have control on what u decide to share, u r solely responsible for your actions.

Now i find facebook quite entertaining with all its small apps especially the create your own vampire, zombie thing: im addicted to that coz i like playing games where u get stats and u concentrate on levelling up. Even if it is simplistic, it's quite amusing and until i get tired of it, i sure waste a LOT of time on it.

So, am finished with full time studying and will start to work. hmmmm, i am in a period of transition. Things will change for the better or the worse. i need to set some priorities. But first need to know what these are. Being on vacation is good, but doing nothing is bad for mental health. Im going out, reading about vb.net and asp.net, reading books, playing a game called the witcher (rpg), watching plenty of movies and sleeping a lot. oh now i think, it's 1.30 am and i got to sleep. Tomorrow's gonna be a busy day.

So lets hope that this post is one of many to come (:
