Ninja Gaiden II - one hard game

Button bashing hard game and at times very satisfying. Some of the moves are amasing but got to the second boss and I got really stuck. Totally insanely difficult. So it went back in the envelope to the rental service.

Fifa 09


I have been enjoying Fifa 09 a lot lately. Great game! Not perfect by any means but there is lods in there to enjoy: you can play single player any league in the world, create your own player and go through your career until you become a pro, online games against another player or join a multiplayer 10 v 10 which can be fantastic. You can also create or join a club and play with other clubs in Fifa 09 league. So if you have friends to play it with and you like football, you absolutely going to love this game. Here's a goal I scored 2 minutes ago :-)

Taken Movie

Had a pleasure enjoying this great movie recently. Without wishing to give too much away, the story is about retired CIA agent whose 17 year daughter is kidnapped. Liam Neeson is great and really gives a lot of weight to the movie. Very highly recommended and a must see for parents.

SharePoint 2007 error message

I got bombarded with emails and my phone started buzzing this morning with users complaining they can’t update docs on the intranet or upload new ones. Everyone was getting a very simple and “informative” message:
Error
Unable to complete this operation. Please contact your administrator.
It turned out to be the SQL (2005) Server was out of disk space (bloody log files!). Anyway, fixed easily by freeing some disk space but was really surprised by guys in Microsoft. How hard can it be to display a message “disk full” or similar?

Duke Nukem 3D

"It's time to kick ass and chew some bubblegum and I'm all out of gum".
Yes, it's here (Xbox Live Arcade)- finally. Used to play this game a lot some 12 years ago a had lots of fun with friends on coax lan network. If I remember rightly it looks pretty much the same on Xbox as it did on the 486 PCs. I was quite surprised that I could remember plenty of hidden places. Good stuff...
