Movies I’m watching
I am really enjoying the Python Challenge, a site to which Toshio sent me a link the other day on the #fedora-python channel. I’m at level 7 and — since this interrupted my reading of Dive Into Python — I’m now starting to bump against the limit of what I’ve …
Last night Eleya and I stayed up rather late last night to watch something I’d been looking forward to for some time — Ridley Scott’s new 194-minute cut of Kingdom of Heaven. It comes in a monstrous four-disc set that includes the movie on two discs, and supplements on the …
