Sensei's Log Issue #10
I've Been Busy...With a Capital G!
Hello grasshoppers. Sorry for being late with my log
file, my life has been very hectic. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Two things I want to touch up on tonight. Linuxnewbie.org
has reached over 2,000,000 hits! Some people say, "well
thats hits, whoopee." Linuxnewbie.org doesn't have
many graphics so those hits are pretty damn good if
ya ask me. I'm very proud of everyone's support and
understanding of the vision of Linuxnewbie.org.</public
thank you>.
The second item for discussion is things are going
to change at Linuxnewbie.org. However, these are good
changes :). The #1 thing that you will notice is a new
color scheme. I've had numerous complaints and praises
over the color scheme and to tell you the truth, I picked
this scheme rather quickly and haven't had time to catch
up with it--due to the enormous amount of work its taken
to get Linuxnewbie.org this far.
The second thing is, a better navigation system and
better way of sorting the current information. I want
to categorize the information better possibly utilizing
databases (which my ISP does not support--why? I don't
know). If you have suggestions please feel free to email
me at feedback@linuxnewbie.org.
The Weekly Application
No application this week.
The Weekly Review
This week Linuxgirl and I rented "Analyze This,"
starring Billy Crystal and Robert DeNiro. Crystal plays
Ben Sobol, a psychiatrist who runs a small practice with
boring patients until one day Paul Vitti, played by DeNiro,
a notorious crime boss needs help sorting out some of his
problems.
Planning for a meeting of New York's rival mob families,
Paul has had trouble sleeping and breathing. Paul can't
admit to the fact that he is having panic attacks (let alone
knows what they are). So Paul wants to sort out his problems
and all roads lead to Ben. Or else. As Ben asks the question,
"Am I supposed to turn you into a happy, well-adjusted gangster?"
Ben faces the moral issue whether he should get involved
with Paul. Meanwhile, Ben's is on his way to Miami to marry
Laura (Lisa Kudrow), a TV reporter. This is where the movie
gets even funnier.
Side note: great writing, great script--directed by Harold
Ramis.
The last thing Laura expects is having to share her husband
with Paul, the forceful and demanding crime boss on her
wedding day. As both days approach, stress and demands come
to a pinnacle: the wedding and the mob family meeting.
Kudrow is funny as usual as well as Crystal throughout
the entire movie. I didn't notice any slumps or slow parts
in the movie and I think this is mostly attributed to Crystal
and DeNiro constantly together exchanging great scenes.
This movie is not only great for a date/chick movie, but
is well suited for the guy as well--both Linuxgirl and I
enjoyed it thoroughly and I'm sure you won't be disappointed
with this movie. Come on its got DeNiro in it. Fahgettaboutit.
I gave Analyze This: 3.5 chops
The rating system used at Linuxnewbie.org consists of a
highly complex technical data set that is statistically
generated over a skew of linear probes comparing that with
nuclear composites and then multiplied by 3. After that
timely process, I basically give my opinions and rate a
number of chops out of a possible 5.
