Today I saw Stealth. It's a slightly lacklustre film with perhaps a weak story. Though, as is common lately, the digital imagery is quite compelling - the film makers obviously spent a lot of effort making the aircraft believable.

There are two main technological items of unknown - the aircraft are hypersonic single seaters with one being flown by an artificial intelligence, this aircraft having adaptive air surfaces and the AI itself, a quantum computer.

Though from this comes mainly a story of love and survival with typical martyrdom of certain characters, namely one of the 'flyboys' and the AI. It seems film makers AIs are not prone to survival. Mix into that some betrayal and earning trust and that's mainly it, apart from the flying.

The dogfight sequences, though, are a little ludicrous. A box-standard fighter-bomber up against a hypersonic futuristic plane and it wasn't over in seconds?

If you don't like flying or naval intrigue don't bother with it. Though the usual 'black-box' approach towards computing has been taken along with the 'it better be tested.... oh look it's gone haywire' cliche.

Well one thing I've been looking for is a Blog tool - I'm currently trying Journler, which is a Journal as well as a Blogger but I don't know yet if it's what I'm after, though I could just write what I want which would be a good start at programming in something other than Java, unless of course I did it in Java, which would be kind of mad but logical I think.

I've not written in a while. I've bought myself an iBook and I've been moving things like email and documents from my PC to my iBook.

I prefer this thing but it's not the only computer, though I'm still learning about it.

My new job is going very well - I'm just about to pass my 3 month probation period, with other things, though it feels like I've been there much longer.
