For the LibrePlanet 2024 I was preparing very hard to make a very good presentation. This meant that I had to be absent from my job. After the presentation I volunteered to help editing the conference to insure that the recording of my presentation was published in the best possible way. Which was, in my opinion a right thing to do, since they didn't have a good recording of the slides, due to technical stuff. And I was able to spot this mistake and recreate the slides for the recorded part of the presentation. I did that not only for my own presentation. But for the entire "Neptune room". Which had 10 presentations. ↩ Reply

Me being absent from work for so long meant that I was fired. Which was not something I thought was too terrible, because it was relatively simple to get a job. Or so I thought. Since that time I was struggling to keep myself afloat. I got one job in that period of time which I was fired from because of a very stupid technicality. One month the rent for my living space was paid by my dad. I cannot ask him to repeat this. He also provided me with food. I was even visiting a place where they feed near-homeless and homeless people for a penny. All of this was temporary for me since I knew that I had plenty of time in July to find a job and get myself back together. It is not anymore possible. ↩ Reply

At the moment of me typing this I have 20 ILS in my wallet. Which is about $5.5. And I also have 20 British pounds scattered all around my living space. This was my idea of making myself waste less money on food and energy drinks, to which I am addicted. ↩ Reply

There are only 5 days left in this month. And I went to job interview after job interview. From Hotel Reception, to Fast Food and Supermarkets. Nobody wants me. I realize that I may need to be homeless for some time. Which may result in me not being able to publish much new updates for a while. ↩ Reply

How long? I don't know. If I will be able to figure this situation out, maybe there will not be any pause what so ever. But my gut tells me that I will loose the apartment and probably all of my gear. I will probably will no longer have the computer I'm writing this from, since it's a stationary type and not a laptop. And I cannot walk around with it on the street. ↩ Reply

I may also never recover and die on the street. Which is real possibility. If the situation will become truly desperate I may need to commit a small crime to be taken away into prison for a months or two. Which will give me food and shelter at least of some kind. ↩ Reply

But that does not mean that the projects I am making are stopped. It just means that I may not physically be able to continue them for a while. And unless I die I will try to get to a point where I can continue them. ↩ Reply

If you see Dani's Race new update published without a goal. This probably means that I'm about to go to the street. ↩ Reply

Happy Hacking!!! ↩ Reply

[icon reviews]The Island 2005 is Michael Bay's Minority Report

As far as my speculation goes, I think, it is safe to assume, the following happened: In 1994 ( before doing Bad Boys ) Michael Bay signed a 10 year contract with Jerry Bruckheimer which expired in 2004 ( after Bad Boys 2 ). Knowing that the contract is about to expire, 2 years prior ( in 2002 ) Steven Spielberg, in an attempt to get on good terms with Michael Bay, added a small reference to Bad Boys into his film Minority Report. And then took Bay under his supervision for the next 10 years. Starting with the 2005 film The Island. And through the Transformers franchise. Bay returned the favor by showing a concept car designed for Minority Report ( Lexus 2054 aka Lexus Minority ) multiple times in the background of The Island. Still that's just a theory. I don't actually know what happened. But it seems plausible.

[icon reviews]Piranha II 1982 taught James Cameron how not to make sequels

We all know that James Cameron is a master when it comes to making sequels. His films like Terminator 2, Avatar 2 and Aliens are extremely good examples of how to make a sequel right. Unlike Steven Spielberg that avoids sequels. Steven avoided doing the second Jaws movie. James Cameron goes for it and wins. Speaking of Steven Spielberg's Jaws, not only sequels from that film were produced. Rip-offs, like the 1978 Piranha by Joe Dante also were produced. Those were parody material B-movie exploitation films. And so writer / director James Cameron decided to take the project of making a sequel to that Jaws rip-off, with his 1982 Piranha II: The Spawning.
