Matrix Revolutions DVD not coming out in January!
Well, as the Oracle said, “Everything that has a beginning, has an end” and so ends the January 6th rumor concerning the release of Revolutions.
Try for April — and wait for that box set to follow.
According to one of our sources, rumors that THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS is to be released on home video this coming January 6 are completely inaccurate. The studio is nowhere near to having a master cut of the DVD release of REVOLUTIONS, with work continuing on the title over the holidays and beyond.
“I can unequivocally tell you that its NOT coming out then,” writes our source, the identity of whom we’ve established but they prefer to remain anonymous. The scooper then goes on to report that MATRIX producer Joel Silver is working on the REVOLUTIONS DVD process right now and that mastering a final cut of the DVD is an ongoing process. “What the retailers probably received was the date they can preorder the DVD,” adds our informant.
And with that comes an end to the REVOLUTIONS by January rumor.

Using Movable Type for Content Management
Had to bookmark this site as a look into using MT as a complete Content Management System
Brad Choate: Touch of Hope: A Technical Colophon
In the days to come, I will be transforming the Bountiful Blessings Fellowship website into a full blow MT driven web site. Hmmm, it does seems that a lot of church sites have been good candidates for this treatment.
My plan is to use the 4 blog approach. One blog for each major section. More of that will be determined a little later.
I’ll update this weblog with my progress.
More to Come…

deviantART: Isometric Pixel Art Tutorial by ~andypaxo
Paxxo Labs Isometric Pixel Art Tutorial is online at Deviant Art:
Integrating Gallery Into Movable Type
The Wiki at Dlugosz.net has the quite informative article on Integrating Gallery into Movable Type. Well worth the read.
Gallery is a very nice PHP-based online photo album. It runs well on its own & also easily integrates into a few weblog frameworks. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that anyone has documented how to easily integrate it into MovableType, which is what I'm using here on my site. Click on the link below to read my quick and dirty tutorial on how to integrate Gallery into MovableType.The first key the integrating Gallery is to understand (at least rudimentally) how it builds it's individual screens. The main place you'll want to look is the gallery/html_wrap directory. In this directory, you'll find a bunch of files called blah.header.default and blah.footer.default. When displaying each type of page: Main index, Album view, Photo view, Search view, or Slideshow view, Gallery looks in the html_wrap directory and will look for the files it needs to format it's content. If you make copies of the *.default files and put them in this directory (named blah.header instead of blah.header.default), Gallery will use your custom files when wrapping the content.
Note that this tutorial is going to assume that you already have Gallery and MovableType installed and working properly on their own. There are plenty of web resources available for general installation questions.

Just Added Jay Allen's MT-Blacklist to my MT Configuration
Oh, what a beautiful morning. Oh, what a beautiful day. I've got a beautiful feeling, everything's going my way.
Surfing around at MT-Plugins, I saw Jay Allen's Spam blocking blacklister (MT-Blacklist v1.61-beta).
This is wonderful! No more junk from the sex, drugs, and trash spammers!

The Matrix Revolutions
I saw this at 8 AM CST in the world-wide syncronized opening. Personally, I think it ended only as it could have ended. Loved the movie.

Facial Xpressions got indexed by Google
Using the power of the internet and some tricks with Google.com, I got the website of a friend indexed by Google in four days.
Well, the four days part was really a fluke, normally it takes no more than 14 days for Google to do it's thing.
See Facial Xpressions and buy some lipstick.
This is actually the third time that this quick indexing thing that I been looking into has worked within a two week time frame. Cool!
First was Vertical Studio, then there was Live LLC, followed by Hoofman Inc.
Not a bad track record.
