Hoyts IMAX is a Rip Off

$22 dollars for a tiny screen…. Granted it is a digital theatre, but that is not enough to charge me more. Digital theatres are the next step and is just part of the evolution that is cinema technology, it’s not special…. Also when I see IMAX I expect a massive screen. Hoyts EQ at Moore Park has converted cinema 2 into the “IMAX” theatre and it is a small screen compared to the GMAX screens at Parramatter Greater Union. Hoyts IMAX is a sham and I won’t be going back.

At least if the mob in Brisbane at Southbank team up with IMAX they’ll have a huge screen that was an actual IMAX theatre :)

From what I have read though briefly apparently the IMAX digital theater can’t do sceens bigger then 22m….

Be forewarned Hoyts IMAX = tiny screens….

[SOLVED] nginx + php (fastcgi) + win32 = “No input file specified”

You’ve probably found this post while searching for nginx and php (fastcgi with php-cgi) for windows. I ran into the “No input file specified.” problem and finally figured it out. The key is we are running on windows and not unix/linux. Windows paths are not /home/user/dir they are c:\cygwin\home\user\dir.

Keep reading for a complete How To nginx + php-cgi on windows :)

Yahoo Site Navigation - Mediocre

Did you know from the homepage of Yahoo! you can’t actually click your way to the developer area. That just seems weird to me…

I didn’t feel like typing, I was on a Yahoo property site and I clicked up the top right to get to yahoo.com. Once at the homepage you can’t click to get to the developer area, you have to type… That isn’t very accessible. Oh well I suppose, I’ll just put a link here for next time :)

Stupid Bloody Intel S5000XVN BIOS!!

Wasted 4hrs this morning dealing with this issue… All I needed to do was to power cycle the machine (turn completely off, then back on again). I updated the bios on this motherboard; Intel S5000XVN, yesterday and needed to enable the Intel Virtualization Technology (VT). I did this, however in order for this setting to take affect you need to power cycle.

This machine has virtual machines on it hosted by VMWare Server. When it came to starting the 64bit guest linux machines, VMware Server would say I needed to enable VT. IT IS ENABLED!!! Very frustrating…
