a reason for me to see “the matrix reloaded”?

While we decided not to boycott the matrix, we weren’t jumping out of our seats to check it out (i mean what else could they tell story wise–all we could imagine is more guns big whoop)–wifey & i had a nite out and checked X2 — which was as excellent a film as they make ‘em….JEAH! then i see this:

David Raynes: I am just a figment of my own imagination.

i have to respect a film that respects real computer use, particularly real Unix usage. hopefully this is a trend for future films.

yeah, he doesn't bring it up b/c he spent a buttload of money (literally a buttload) without talking to me about it....he said they are going for $300 and then when it came, it was much much more than that! yo!

oh yeah that's the problem--heh i noticed that -- it apparently actually removes or filters the <>'s...

there's actually an option to allow/disallow html in comments. if i have them on, i guess i'll turn 'em off now ;)

but yeah we don't have a new TV--we've had a projection screen for a few months now...and i don't bring it up to joy as much as i can heh (should i really post about it in my blog, then? hah); i'm trying to hold on to it (as opposed to put it up for sale) as long as i can...until it isn't an issue anymore :D

Whoa... I think that "movable type" just parsed some of my text as XML or an HTML tag.

I put 'insert_expensive_item_here', inside <> in my last post and it disappeared!!!

Hmmmmm... I'll bet you can get crazy with this thing. Could be a security hole (we had a similar issue in one of our web SDKs).

Say what?? You got a new TV - dope!!

I love TV - Although I'm about to get rid of my cable.

What a waste of time and money (sigh). I figure when we go into cost cutting mode (after the baby come), cable will be the first thing to go. Then the cellphones. Then the cars. Then the good food. Then the ...

Bye Bye broadband Internet(sniffle, sniffle)... I'll miss you so much :_(

better than the first? hmmmmmmm.......we will see--i was much more into the storyline of the first (the 'gun' part was pretty standard imo)--so i didn't think i'd be terribly impressed by 'reloaded' but we will see (hopefully when its still in theatres -- all though we do sorta,uh, kinda got a projection screen @ home :)

I saw the flick... It was sooooooo tight. I thought it was way better than the first one.
Now I'm gonna have to go see it again to catch the skan ;)

I'm on the NMap Hackers list and I read Fyodors post, but I don't remember seeing trinity bust out the NMap scan. What scene was it?

I was actually looking for the scene when we watched it, but I must have missed that joint.
