I wanted to use some of my vacation time to research on Beans Binding (JSR 295), its effect on the Model-View-Controler, and if there are other implementations of a similar "data syncronization" pattern elsewhere, but... I was on vacation for two weeks, so I spent most of my time resting (semi-comatose). Instead, here's what I learned during that time:
• Seasons 9 and 10 of Stargate SG-1 is really a spin-off of its own compared to season 1 to 8. While much of the main cast changed, the writing was pretty good, especially in season 10. The follow-up movie "The Ark of Truth" is kind of a season 11 condensed in 2 episodes, so the writing feels weird and rushed.
• The Apple AirPort Express doesn't work too well with the Tomato/MLPPP firmware in WDS. But then, we used only the AirPort Express for its USB printer sharing, and our printer is a network printer that can connect directly to the router.
• While the port by Team Twiizers of MPlayer for the Nintendo Wii supports DVD playing and has a great user interface, MPlayerWii supports external USB flash drives.
• Geometry Wars: Galaxies is easier on the DS than on the Wii because of framerate issues, but for extra challenge try playing it on the bus while standing up.
• Oh, and it's •
