And then...

HBO was showing M:I-2 again tonight, and I watched the second half.  I like the second half of the movie more than the first.

Project work is going on well now and our team has started on the documentation.  Other than that, there hasn't been that much else going on in the recent days.  I just installed Internet Explorer 6 today.  I know it came out ages ago, but I never got around to updating it.  I happened to get my hands on a couple of Digit CDs (November 2002), and it had IE6 on it.  So I installed.  This means I now use Outlook Express 6 as well.  I was hoping for a glitch-free installation, and that's what I got except for one annoying thing.  You see, in Windows Explorer, the left pane, showing the tree view of the folders, has disappeared.  In it's place is a blank grey box.  Maybe IE6 is too advanced for Windows 98.  Or maybe it just wants to trouble me.  Anyway that CD also had a video for Duke Nukem Forever, which was nice to watch.

As for other things, I watched the Golden Globe Awards recently as well (not the whole thing).  On Monday and Tuesday, I came home late from project work (9 and 10 PM).  Strangely, last night, I was not tired at all, probably because of the Doom special effect that I found.  It was around 2 AM that I decided that I would finally go and sleep.  But before that I wanted to listen to Breath, the song by Swollen Members featuring Nelly Furtado, the music video of which I'd downloaded recently.  I not only listened to it, I also took about 30 minutes to do a drawing of Nelly Furtado from that video.  I don't know whether I will upload it on this site, because I did it directly in pen and it doesn't look that good.  Or maybe I will upload it.  I shouldn't be judging the merits of the drawing too much anyway, after all everyone perceives this kind of thing differently.

Dark Fate 2 is a singleplayer level for Doom II, replacing MAP01.  It's a small-sized hellish level — and there's a walkthrough video as well.
