A Blog of Very Little Brain

Sorry for the week pun there. I’ve been using Comix for a long time now, it’s probably the best GNU/Linux cbr/cbz viewer out there, mainly because it doesn’t futz (for lack of a stronger word) around. In fact, up until now I could simply run it from a simple command.
Now, I found that a package has been added to Dapper/Breezy Backports, which is always the preferrable way for me, to keep everything going right, however, it’s 1.6, while comix is currently up to 2.2. I’m considering replacing the actual comix file with the one from the latest version, hoping it won’t break anything.

Just watched the latest Survivor. I have to give it to the production/editing crew. They don’t pull punches. The “pre-tribal” part was shown in a sense that it gave me the “complete” picture, but was a total red herring, considering the results. It’s good television, guys.

I just finished watching “Jettison Your Loved Ones” by Ray Tintori. While it is a very low-budget movie and according to the director, the production was extremely Spartan, it’s quite excellent, and very recommended. It’s sometimes amazing how much content can be squeezed into such a small format, and I have to admit I’m very fond of the result.

This is a good opportunity to put here a link to “From My Room” by Alex Olea, another great (flash) movie. The soundtrack is from “Poltergeist“, so it fits the theme perfectly. It’s quite moving for such a short clip, but I guess you have to see it for yourself.
