Went to see Avatar recently in Full 3D HD with my son. To me it was a fantastic experience. The Hi-Res 3D movie experience brings new levels to what to expect at the movies (in my opinion). Therefore, it’s with great optimism I read yesterday’s announcement at the Hollywood Reporter;

Asked about potential “Avatar” sequels, chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch said on his quarterly earnings call Tuesday that the conglomerate is in “very early talks about it.” Director James Cameron “has ideas” for a sequel, he said, adding: “We will be pushing for one.”

But he cautioned analysts not to “hold your breath for an early one” in a possible reference to Cameron projects often taking a long time to come to fruition.

News Corp. deputy chairman, president and COO Chase Carey interjected that both sides want to make another movie. “We certainly both intend to have one,” he said.

The executives said financing of a sequel like of any movies these days would be key as News Corp. likes to lay off risk, especially since Cameron films tend to go over budget. But given the success of “Avatar,” financing details could come together.

Wishing you all the best for 2010 – with the famous song from ABBA to go along with it;

Happy New Year!!!

Here’s a special tribute from my family and me wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I guess most of you’ve already noticed that a new version of WordPress is available. And like many times before I thought I’d give you a heads up on the upgrade just in case there’s something problematic ahead. Again, I can assure you that moving from WordPress 2.8.x caused no issues either through automatic or manual upgrade.

A big thank you goes out to the development team for yet again giving us something to “play with”. I especially liked the enhanced Ajax features – NICE But most importantly you can now edit your images online! This is the most sought-after feature in my book for sure.

There’s a lot more stuff as well which you can read all about here or just watch the video below:

As I’m sure a lot of you have noticed my blog has been gone for the last 10 days. Reason being a complete new set-up on the server which is kindly hosted by my brother by the way. I wont go in to too much details but let us just say that a new structure with increased security was needed…

Therefore, should you be running your own Linux server with Apache please feel free to share your favuorite tricks that makes your server “bullet-proofed”.

Thanks in advance, and looking forward to hearing from you all
