TRON : Legacy

Considered a cult success, TRON is one of those films that made a big impact among the geek crowd. Now with Disney's sequel coming to theaters real soon, the excitement is at a fever pitch again.

The tale of a once-wronged programmer taking his fight to a computer program will now get its sequel Tron : Legacy where Jeff Bridges reprises his role as Kevin Flynn. The stunningly electro-luminescent world of TRON comes to life this time following the exploits of Sam Flynn, when he gets pulled into the computer world of light cycles and illuminated discs trying to find his father.






 Slated for a December 17, 2010 release, the flick has already generated a lot of hype across the net, and Daft Punk have been busy doing the music for it.

Here are a few samples to whet your appetite while you wait.

You'll definitely like the tracks if you're of a techno bent of mind.

Prepare to have the bugs in your code derezzed ;-)

Linux on a Potato?

Yeah, you read that write. Some hackers with too much time on their hands and nothing else to do actually made Linux boot off a potato. You've heard of root drives, now here's linux on a root vegetable :P

This was done a year ago by a group of people on Linuxonanything.nl (LOA).

The potato had a distro called "Damn Small Linux", put it on a thumb drive and stuck it in the potato. Then they ran a bunch of red and black wires to the vegetable. Binary commands were sent to the potato via the wires lol. Though the first "vegetarian" Linux was on a head of lettuce, the LOA group even installed Linux on a Shetland Pony. Someone even installed Linux on a dead badger! Instructions here if you have a dead badger lying around the house (eeeeeewwwww) - Instructions here .


People with such geeky preoccupations have this kind of stuff on their doors:

Ohwaitaminute.. that's my door knob! :|  

On a side note, my semester exams are coming next week, so I'll be busy throughout May. The blog will be a bit inactive during said period.

Haveth thou a nice day, ye kind people who peruseth my blog!
