London: Day Nine
Now that the week has started, I had to put some effort into work again. Because some of the flowcharts for my "real" programming were not complete yet, I put my fingers to a JavaScript-based Image cropping tool. In that, you can move a cropping area around and zoom the image. Everything using CSS2 and JavaScript. Without JavaScript, you have a fallback-mechanism that works with CSS2 only (and PHP as the computing engine).
We decided to put this tool up as GPL as soon as the site has launched and the tool is more advanced. So look out for that.
In the evening, we wanted to watch some movies, but all "DVDs" we had were somehow corrupted or they were missing the second disc. So I started to watch Cypher, but could only watch 20 minutes of it, because I was so tired and also spent by the two giant Pizza-Hut pizzas we ordered.

Flash: Prince of Persia
Eine kleine Zeitreise, gute 10 Jahre zurück. Ein kleiner Garvin sitzt vor seinem heiligen 286er und dem Monochrom-Monitor und spielt ein Spiel. Gelegentliche Aufschreie und Wutattacken verraten den Suchtfaktor des Spiels. Es geht um einen kleinen Perser, der laufender- und hüpfenderweise den Weg durch ein Backsteinlabyrinth sucht. Das Labyrinth ist, mal hier, mal da gespickt mit fiesen Stacheln und herunterfallenden Platten. Und Schwertkämpfern. Und das Spiel ist sauschwer. Dafür ist die Steuerung und die Animation der Figur für damalige Zeiten erstklassig.
Man sieht, das Spiel hat es mir damals richtig angetan. Derzeit fiebere ich der Neuauflage (Sands of Time) entgegen und hoffe, dass daraus ein richtig gutes Spiel wird. Heute fand ich bei Moe's Blog (wo ich schonmal einen DHTML-Lemmings Klon fand) ein Link zu einer Flash-Version von Prince of Persia!
Die Animationen der Figur sind echt original von der alten Version, nur grafisch noch was aufgepeppt. Ich bin echt begeistert, was man nicht alles nettes mit Flash machen kann!

Movie: Kill Bill, Volume 1 (London Day Eight)
So this was the first time, where nothing really special happened. I worked quite late this day, and the only thing worth mentioning on this day was that Jose and I went to the UCI Empire cinema to watch:
I didn't learn much about the movie in reports before, only one of them being that it would be really gory, messy and packed with fighting scenes. The trailer I saw to it also only contained fighting scenes. So I was going there with quite a bad feeling, thinking that I will be seing an action-only movie, with the weird/absurd and funny stuff Tarantino usually does.
