Inception
Yes, I HAVE seen Inception =D I just didnt want to write about it because given the sophisticated plot of this movie, its so easy to cause spoilers, and it would be an unforgivable crime to do that to such incredibly brilliant scenario.
A couple of weeks ago [thanks to xos persistence ; ] we went to see Inception, and the only thing Im going to tell you about it is that its one of the most ingenious, unique movies that I have ever seen. I have every intention of getting me the Blu-ray once its out, as this movie is worth watching numerous times.
Id also like to mention that if you enjoyed the Matrix trilogy, chances are youll enjoy inception too. In a way, I see Inception as Matrix inverse. ;
Oh, and heres the proof I did go to see it... =

Praan [Stream of Life]
I would imagine most of you have already heard this song since it was composed for the 2008 Where the hell is Matt clip. But I also think that the clips sheer amusement, causes the music not to shine as much as it might, if youre listening to it with closed eyes. So yes, I recently re-discovered Praan by Garry Schyman, featuring the beautiful voice of Palbasha Siddique. The music takes my breath away, and the lyrics that are in fact from a poem by Rabindranath Tagore, are truly divine.
Lyrics & Translation:
Praan [Bangali]
Bhulbona ar shohojete
Shei praan e mon uthbe mete
Mrittu majhe dhaka ache
je ontohin praan
Bojre tomar baje bashi
She ki shohoj gaan
Shei shurete jagbo ami
Shei jhor jeno shoi anonde
Chittobinar taare
Shotto-shundu dosh digonto
Nachao je jhonkare
Bojre tomar baje bashi
She ki shohoj gaan
Shei shurete jagbo ami
Stream of Life [English]
The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day
runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.
It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth
in numberless blades of grass
and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.
It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth
and of death, in ebb and in flow.
I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life.
And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.

Satori :: Koiban
Time for another ASM2010 favourite = I was previously informed that Satori was going to have a new
demo for ASM, and I was waiting in anticipation to see it. When finally the demo showed up on the ASM TV stream, me and a bunch of friend, as expected, went Whooohooohooow.... haaaaaaa..... aaaaaaaa.... woooooooo .... wooooohooooooooowwwwww .... hoooooo ..... waaaaaaaaa.... =D
Im not going to say anything more. In fact I cant, even if I want to. Its completely impossible to describe something like this in words. So if you havent had a chance to see this super fantastic awesome demo yet, here it is. Check it out =

Happiness is Around the Bend
Oh yes, it certainly is! =)
It's been yet another silent period due to my extreme lack of time, and what better
reason to break this silence than to... well, LETS TALK ASD! =D The new ASD demo by the name 'Happiness is Around the Bend' was released yesterday at the Assembly 2010 demo party. And early this morning I got the happy news that the demo has in fact won 1st place! =D YAAAAAAAAAAY!
I've been experiencing a bit of a mental struggle over which one of the ASD demos is my favourite, and it's a tie between Life Force and Happiness. I finally decided to leave it at that. It's just a tie. I can't like either one of the 2 more than the other, and that's just the way it's going to be. =D Where Life Force made my heart explode out of my chest and brought tears to my eyes, Happiness made me jump around and throw my fists in the air. On one hand I think the 2 demos are too different to be able to make a comparison, on the other hand they're too connected to make a comparison! It's like they're the 2 sides of the same coin... So, watch the new demo and decide for yourself. ![]()
Oh, and... ehmmm.... well.... I just have got to say this since Soren mentioned something to me... [fair warning: brash opinionated remark following], in case you've been reading Pouet threads... don't let certain comments about the music bias your opinion. aMUSiC and Leviathan have done an otherworldly beautiful job with the music. Big Kudos to them both. <3 <3 =)
Of course there were a few more demos in ASM this year that really took my breath away. I will post about them next.....

JLOUIS Ramblings: Haskell vs. Erlang for bittorent clients
Highlights and Sticky Notes:
Since I wrote a bittorrent client in both Erlang and Haskell, etorrent and combinatorrent respectively, I decided to put up some bait. This might erupt in a language war and “My language is better than yours”, but I feel I am obligated to write something subjective. Here is to woes of programming in Haskell and Erlang.
Neither Haskell, nor Erlang was a first language for me. I have programmed serious programs in C, Standard ML, Ocaml, Python, Java and Perl; tasted the cake of Go, Javascript, Scheme and Ruby; and has written substantial stuff in Coq and Twelf. I love static type systems, a bias that will rear its ugly head and breathe fire.
I have written Haskell code seriously since 2005 and Erlang code seriously since 2007. I have programmed functionally since 1997 or so. My toilet reading currently is “Categories for the working mathematician” by Mac Lane. Ten years ago it was “ML for the working programmer” by Paulson.
Enough about me.
