DUB Show 08 was pretty awesome. I went with my friends Ron, Josh, and Godric who you’ll see as pic #2 in the video. When we got to the Phoenix Convention Center we saw a huge line outside. Luckily we got our tix online and were able to just stroll on up to the Will Call window and then into the building. When we got in, we saw some pretty fly rides, most of which are in the video. We also got to meet Ice-T, the real OG, Triple OG. During the concert, Ice-T came out during Shawty LO’s set, which was pretty awesome. We also got to see the Soul Camp, Webbie, Willy Northpole, and Ludacris perform. It was an amazing day to say the least.

I absolutely hate this week, cuz I have a bunch of final projects to get done. For my Network Defense class I have to do a 10pg paper on implementing a defensible network. It’s not do until next Friday (May 2), but I have no idea where to start. I setup a meeting with my teacher so we can discuss the structure of the paper. Once I get that down I should be good. At that all I have to do is 1-2 pages per day, and I’ll get it done on time. But that 10pg minimum rule and the fact that its worth 300 points, or 30% of my final grade, is pretty damn daunting. If I was acing the course right now, I wouldn’t have to worry about it, cuz it’d drop me to a 70%, which is still passing. Unfortunately I’m at an 80% right now in that course, so not doing it is not an option. I’ll just have to stay focused and get it done. But thats not the only thing I have to do. I still have to figure out what I want to do my final coding project on for my VBScripting course. Once I figure that out, I need to submit my project proposal, which is due Sunday. Lastly, theres my Network Infrastructure and Services Course. For that, I need to finalize the running document that I’ve been making and then create my final exam. Yes, I have to CREATE my final exam for that course. I’m as surprised as you. I have to come up with three multiple choice questions for each of the fourteen chapters that we’ve covered this semester. Surprisingly, that will be the easiest final exam I’ve ever done. And I’ve had the priviledge of doing a final online that I could take as many times as I wanted. Aiight, may be that one was easier. On top of all that, since I’m headin home early, I need to make up the internship hours that I’m going to miss next week this week. Yeah, this is one HELL of a week. DAMN! Wish over it was over already.
Oh, I guess every cloud does have a silver lining though, cuz I bought a Nokia n800 Internet Tablet on Amazon.com last weekend. It’s been out for about a year now, and theres an updated version of it available, the n810, but still I’ve been hearing nothing but good things about the n800. I’ll post a review of it, probly from it, when I get my hands on it.

After seeing the trailer for this flick, I had little idea of what the plot actually entailed, but it seemed like it would be another great martial arts epic. That is exactly what it is. If you enjoy movies like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and House of Flying Daggers, then you will love The Forbidden Kingdom. The story involves a lost traveler who must return a staff to its rightful owner, the imprisoned Monkey King. During his journey, he is joined by two martial arts masters (Jackie Chan and Jet Li) and a young lady who teach him how to fight before going into battle against the Jade Warlord and his army. This movie also has some cool plot twists that you may or may not see coming. All in all, The Forbidden Kingdom is awesome movie.
My Verdict: See it in Theaters

I’m a bit of a procrastinator. Scratch that. I’m a HUGE procrastinator. But, fortunately for me, I work well when I have less time to do stuff. That’s why, this morning I got my scripting lab for this week, and I have just finished writing a paper for my Network Defense course on why most hosts are insecure and how to fix that problem. All I have left is the homework for my Network Infrastructure and services course, which shouldn’t take too long.
While I’m getting all that done, I’m also getting some other stuff done. I am currently installing Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista. I’ve heard that it significantly improves Vista’s performance, so I’m looking forward to benchmarking it. I just got done installing the nVidia driver for my machine, since I was having some graphics issues. I still have to download Fedore Core 8 iso and burn it to a disc, because I have to install it on four Linux at my school tomorrow during my internship. I’ll alsos be installing Kubuntu there as well.
Til next time, this is AR in AZ!

When I went to see Street Kings, I was expecting to see a flick based on the common “Cops n Robbers” storyline with some awesome gun battles. As an action flick junkie, I was kind of disappointed, and as a regular moviegoer, I felt as though it would have been better to rent this one. The plot of the film was average at best. It’s about a detective (Reeves) who works his way through LA’s criminal hierarchy to identify those that killed his former partner. Theres one gun battle in the movie, maybe two if you count the murder scene. The rest is just talk. However, there is a good twist at the end that you may not see coming. All in all, I was expecting a lot more from this flick.
My verdict: Rent It

IBM Racetrack Memory:
Recently, computing giant IBM has announced that they have been working on what they dubbed “racetrack memory.” I’m guessing you probably have between 1-2GB of memory in your computer right now. Well, according to IBM, within 10 yrs, memory will be able to hold 100 times more data than it’s modern flash counterpart, and it will cost 100 times less. This means that by 2018, computers memory will be equivalent to modern hard disk capacity. That’s a lot of memory. Read more here

This week I did a lot of software installations on various platforms. One of these projects included installing Windows Media Player on the instrucotr computers in all of the classrooms on the second floor of the university. David later showed me how to install and configure WSUS onto one of the test servers in the IT room. I also responded to a couple work orders, one of which had me installing VLC media player onto a couple faculty members Macbooks. After installing the program, I showed them how to use it. For the other work order, I had to go to the library and create a desktop shortcut to a program that resides on the Tlelax server.
