Stumbled on this yesterday at BoingBoing.    I’m not sure if I’ve ever actually seen an animated/cg zombie movie.   There was the Resident Evil CG movie I guess, but I wasn’t too impressed with it really.  To me, it seems like this movie will have a better feel and style to it.   I’d even settle for Valve making a full movie out of the Left4Dead intro scene.   Check it out:

I love the style this movie looks like it would have.  They just need to find a studio!   You can read all the details in the original interview here[zombieinfo.com]

“If a key can open a bunch of locks, it’s viewed as a master key and is awesome to have.   But if a lock is opened by a lot of different keys, well that’s a pretty shitty lock if you ask me.”

If you get bored, you should browse [lamebook] ;].

Just FYI, I’m making an imagedump script/site. Just check back in the next week or two (or you know, subscribe to the rss feed like a cool kid would) and I’ll have a link to it on the main page :]

I guess some time in the last few months, I updated udev on my Gentoo Xen Guest. Normally, this wouldn’t be a problem and it wasn’t since I didn’t need to reboot the system until yesterday. It wouldn’t come back up automatically, so I consoled the domain with xm, and saw this:

* Mounting proc at /proc ... [ ok ]
* Mounting sysfs at /sys ... [ ok ]
* Your kernel is too old to work with this version of udev.
* Current udev only supports Linux kernel 2.6.25 and newer.
* Could not create /dev/pts!
* Checking root filesystem ...Failed to open the device '/dev/hda2': No such file or directory

* Filesystem couldn't be fixed

Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue):

Of course I didn’t read the obvious error at first, and started messing around with other things before finally realizing the kernel the Xen domain is booting from is still at version 2.6.18. I had two options:
1) upgrade the domu kernel from xen-sources (>2.6.18-r12 still being masked on this system) and copy it to the xen host for the vm to boot from.
2) downgrade udev and pretend it never happened.

I chose #2, mainly because it’d take less time and work.
In short, here’s what I did:
Note: This is all from root on the Xen Dom0, not the guest machine.. since it wouldn’t boot yet.

And that was it! Started up the gentoo xen domain again, and it booted right up.

I stumbled on this video earlier today. It’s pretty amusing.

Cyanide and Happiness is probably one of my favorite web comics that I read whenever I get around to it. And until now, I’ve never actually watched any of the animated shorts..
I saw this one on their website today and it’s pretty awesome, so check it out!
