Journal entries in 'Miscellaneous' for March, 2005

Today I saw the pilot of the American version of The Office. I've only seen one episode of the British version too, but from my limited perspective, I think the British one was better. Both cover a subject that I'd think would get tired kind of quickly, but if it's awkward, idiotic bosses and kooky inter-office interactions you want, I think the British one pulled it off more successfully. As much as I like Steve Carell, the boss on the British version was definitely more awkward and sleazy :)

So, can someone explain Donnie Darko to me? I fear I may lack the cognitive capacity to reason it out for myself. I managed to maintain a tenuous grasp through most of the movie, but those last 20 minutes or so... Completely lost me.

As you might have noticed, I redid the login system on BinRock to be a little less insecure. I tried to make it as simple as possible the first time around, by only requiring passwords, but after someone forgot their password and tried a few different ones and found themselves logged in as someone else, I figured I should probably stick with the tried and true combination of username AND password :) If you're already logged in, it should automatically convert to the new system without any effort on your part, but next time you log in, you'll need to know both credentials. Your password is still the same. Ask me for your username. You may actually be able to guess it, most of them are pretty logical choices. If you prefer, I can change it to whatever you'd like.
