06/28/2007 - That Time of the Month
My apologies for not having an update sooner, but both work and my
personal life have been conspiring to keep me from hobby projects.
Between the last update and the 16th, I'd been working crippling hours
in order to get the project at the door, and since the 25th I've been
working the same. That's what I get for being moved onto another
finalling project just as the one I was on was almost out the
door. The intervening time was spent in Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA
- again, leaving little time to fuck around with hobby code.
On the bright side, it looks like my schedule will finally be
clearing up in a week or two, at which point I'll be able to devote more
time to figuring this damn thing out.
On the movie front, my recommendations for this month are:
- Live Free or Die Hard: Back in action and still kicking
unreasonable amounts of ass 12 years on, Bruce Willis breaks out the
classic one-liners in an action-packed extravaganza. See
it.
- Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer: It has
amazing suit-actor Doug Jones in a prominent role. 'Nuff said. Oh,
that isn't enough for you? Fine - it has amazing suit-actor Doug Jones,
strapped to a table.
- Blue Velvet: A classic thriller
from David Lynch, with the usual trio of hallucinatory imagery, the
macabre, and general strangeness. Features a sex-mad Dennis Hopper with
a bent for nitrous oxide and forced sex, if you're into that sort of
thing. Mix equal parts A Clockwork Orange, Little Shop of Horrors,
Crash (1996) and Eraserhead, and you might come close to this
one.
- Manos: The Hands of Fate: This movie is fantastic!
Actually, it's really not. Avoid it at all costs. You should only see
it if you're looking for something to do that's marginally more fun than
pounding nails through your pecker.
Lastly, on the topic of something that's actually relevant, a little
birdie has suggested to me the obvious notion - not sure why I didn't
think of it - that the commands I'm sending to the RDP, being written to
RDRAM rather than RSP DMEM, are subject to caching and are probably not
actually written back at the time that I kick off the command. When I
actually have some free time (argh), I'll try sticking a cache
writeback opcode in there and see what shakes loose.
