Almost ten years ago a friend of mine showed that he was happy to use Visual Basic’s (and also later on Delphi’s, with Borland’s extensions to Pascal) feature of object property, which allows one to set a property of an object and have the object respond to the change. For example, this code:

Looking forward to seeing Zhang Ziyi‘s performance in Memoirs of a Geisha, I started to read the book from which the film is adapted. So the new few days will be hopefully quite exciting.

This Reaper 3-D, an open-source spaceship combat game seems to be underrated. It is of the same style as Terminal Velocity, but with better goodies such as improved 3-D ground objects (instead of flat, sprite-based ones like in TV).

In Germany, a youngster might bump to you in and ask “Hey Alter, hast du Taschendrachen?” which is translated literally as “Hi dude, have you got pocket dragon?”. Quite easily, one can guess that pocket dragon in this context means the lighter.

As I expected before, DOOM: The Movie was quite awesome. OK, as in the game, the story was rather weak. Often, it was quite predictable as well, e.g. that additional extra chromosome pair would apparently lead to something (although thumbs-up for mentioning Lucy).

Kung Fu Hustle is entertaining and hilarious! Recommended.
