I’m having a sort of weird time with the migration of geoffreylong.com. I managed to get everything moved over to the new server, get the DNS entries updated, and then on campus tonight I successfully installed Movable Type 3.2 on the new Dreamhost account while – no joke – I watched a Bollywood version of Macbeth.<\/i> Once that was done and I finished debugging it, I headed home with every intention of installing the new templates and things while watching 24<\/i> on the TiVo. Much to my surprise, however, while the MIT DNS servers had updated, the Comcast ones had not; which meant that the new geoffreylong.com was pulling up on campus and the old one was pulling up in Somerville. Sheesh.
\nOn a completely different note, while I was previously somewhat dubious about the two new Hellboy<\/i> animated movies coming down the pike, things like this statue\/maquette<\/a> makes me want to believe, as does the continuing quality of the Hellboy Animated Production Diary<\/a>. That’s a must-read for all animation, filmmaking and Mignola geeks in the crowd. How much of a Mignola geek am I? I spent about an hour this weekend after I finally got my desktop machine’s third monitor resuscitated from the grave making a mammoth<\/i> Hellboy desktop – and by ‘mammoth’ I mean over 5000 pixels wide. It’s pretty damn impressive, even if I did have to blur the hell out of it in order to defeat the pointellation of the graphic novel’s printed pages; to be fair, I’m sure Dark Horse never intended the page to be blown up to something like 15 times its original size… Anyway, the Hellboy<\/i> movies are supposed to hit Cartoon Network next year, so I’m wondering if there’s any way I can network myself into some kind of research here through C3. Time will tell.
\nAll right, true believers, time for yours truly to hit the highway. Today’s going to be a long day – I’m meeting with a fellow C3 fellow (heh) and Joe Little from the Chief Technology Office of the BP Group, then running off to teach a class about violence in superhero comics, then dashing from there to a presentation by a high muckymuck at Midway, then racing over to a lecture by none other than Sherry “Second Self” Turkle, then from there<\/i> on to – I’m sure – something else that’s slipping my mind at the moment. Whoof.
\nNo rest for the wicked, lads. I’m off!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
