Another set of movies

I saw several movies in the last days including the two Hannibal movies "Hannibal" and "Red Dragon". Now, I think they are really not worth watching. I don't understand why they made "Red Dragon", it's rather useless as it is only a remake with different actors. But neither better or worse than the original. Hmm. And "Hannibal", well, some ugly scenes in it, but apart from that? Some better movies are "Gangs of New York" and "Jeepers Creepers" which is really a great movie with a lot of suspense, but with a really poor ending. So if you watch it, don't be disappointed about the ending. It's the usual "Let's make a sequel" ending. Bah. The same is with "Ghost Ship" which is a good movie but again with this annoying ending. But be warned it has a really bloody beginning that looks really rather realistic. It's not as worse as the beginning in "Saving Private Ryan" but it could really shock you. 4:31:58 PM

Parallel Web Applications

Yesterday, I could think about Dywel again. It's the first time in weeks I had time for it...(although it was only an hour). I'm currently thinking about implementing the continuations like feature and handling links. I'm trying to have multiple continuations for a single user which should allow that the user can navigate through different web applications at the same time without loosing state. All these apps are running on the same server and are e.g. integrated into one single portal. I will try to get the concept finished by the end of the week and prototype it at the weekend. I really want to get most of Dywel "showable" at the Cocoon GetTogether, so I can use the face-to-face discussions for feedback and suggestions. 4:23:27 PM
