So last weekend, finally after months of waiting, I watched the 2 hour premiere of Stargate Universe. I’ve been playing in my head a bit with what I saw… I guess it’s too early to actually have an opinion about the series… but I can say that so far, I totally love the plot, and almost totally hate the characters! =P
Dr. Rush is basically the only character that I actually like so far. But I guess, on the other hand, it’s going to be quite interesting to watch a bunch of people this time around who weren’t actually meant for this, are not necessarily the best of the best, and mostly are just simply not supposed to be there. I suppose there’s going to be some very interesting character development going on for the crew in the new series.
Well, looking impatiently forwards to this weekend for the 2nd episode….
In my search for a tool that would do for all eBook formats, what ComicRack does for e-comics, I came across Calibre. I’m using is for now since it’s the best I came across so far, but honestly it doesn’t make me as excited as ComicRack. It does create you a library, but no lists or folders. And there are a lot of nice options in there that simply get lost in the short comings of the UI… but oh well, it’s more or less a nice tool and it’s open source, so… going to keep using it for now. =)
Great news for all the fans of the Demovibes 
compilations including myself: Demovibes 9 was released yesterday, and the CUE file and PDF cover are also available as of today. As usual, it’s an awesome collection, and I’m currently having fun listening to it. I already uploaded the album to Melange, and you can either find the tracks on the Demovibes playlist, or the Demovibes 9 album.
To download the compilation go here, or go here to see the entire list of the Demovibes compilations.
As I’m certain I’ve mentioned a good bazillion times before, I read a lot of e-comics, and own a terribly large load of them. Most of my e-comics are in CBZ/CBR formats due to my pickiness regarding image quality, and I do have a small number of PDF ones too.
For a very long time I was using CDisplay to view / read comics. A light and small app that basically does nothing but displaying the images inside a CBZ/CBR archive. Nothing else. CDisplay is currently the most popular and widely used tool for viewing e-comics, and the few other more or less well known apps for the purpose are pretty much exactly the same. Nothing kool really. And if if wasn’t for my curious nature I’d probably still be using the boring app, except, well, it bored the heavens out of me and I decided to finally find a replacement.
After a great deal of digging and testing of nearly all the available tools, I can now say with confidence that I’ve found the koolest comic viewing application currently in existence, and it’s called ComicRack. You could say that ComicRack is something like iTunes for e-comics. It allows you to create an e-comics library with lists and categories, and can show a very neat preview of each comic’s cover. And that’s just the beginning… there’s tons of awesomely useful features to explore, and with all of that, the app is still a free one. So, well, safe to say that I’m totally in love with ComicRack now. So e-comic-ies… check it out! 😉
