Sydney White finished downloading today

Yay, it finally finished downloading while I was at work! I've just watched it, and Amanda is really really good in it. It's a cross between Revenge Of The Nerds and Snow White, done in the style of an Amanda Bynes movie.

My favourite bit was when Amanda looked cute and hot, which I guess doesn't narrow it down :-D

Nah but seriously, it was well worth the shocking amount of time required to download it. I'll definitely buy it on DVD; it really was a hoot!

In one scene, they clearly show a Macintosh getting hacked. What's hilarious is that Apple actually provided the computer specially for the movie - they should've looked at the script before loaning the machine!

In other news, on Ten HD today there was a documentary about the timescale that our bodies work on. They showed some scientists who were clearly running Linux or Unix. It looked like either an early version of Gnome or maybe IceWM, with four LCD monitors!

The documentary, and the knowledge that my computer was sitting idle at home, gave me the idea to get one of the distributed computing projects. After a lot of deliberation ("Which will be more beneficial to people? Does it matter if this one doesn't support multiple cores?"), I decided on Folding@Home, the uniprocessor edition. I think I enabled big work units - according to my calculations, that's 8 hours just to do one work unit, and my processor is incredibly fast per core.

I'm an hour and a quarter overdue for bed, so I'll leave it there for now. See you all later.
