Ugh. I hate being sick.

Well, once again, an awards show has come and gone and I've proven that I cannot predict the winners. I have to admit though, if I sneaked a second ballot, I would have done much better. Oh well. So out of 24 categories, I only got 5 right. Yikes, a measly 21%. I feel as though I should apologize to the nominees, because if I pick you to win - you probably won't. Sorry 'bout that.

The categories I guessed correctly were:
Best Animated Feature
Achievement in Art Direction
Achievement in Film Editing
Best Adapted Screenplay
Best Original Screenplay

See below for all winners...

Well the 80th Annual Academy Awards is almost here. They are happening this Sunday and I am looking forward to see who will come out on top.

My Disclaimer: I have not seen every single film nominated, these are just my predictions on what I think will happen. Guesses could be inaccurate due to the fact that I have not seen each of the films, and also since I can't vote, others may not agree with me.

As in a previous post I listed my picks on who the winners of the Emmy's would be. Out of 15 categories I only got 2 correct. A few surprises as far as I'm concerned.

The nominations have been cast for the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards. As per previous posts for other award shows, I will try my hand at predicting the winners. My vote may lean towards who I want to win rather then who I think may win, but it's all in good fun.

Ha ha, lol. This is hilarious. Check out the image of what vi would look like if it was Microsoft's.

It seems as though I'm getting lucky with free books. I just won two more from Free Software Magazine. I love this site. It's got a lot of great articles, and free books are definitely a bonus. The two I won are titled Practical Subversion (from Apress), and Pro Open Source Mail: Building an Enterprise Mail Solution (also from Apress).

I'm really looking forward to reading through these books, especially the Subversion one as the Open Source Mail one wouldn't apply to me for quite some time.

Thanks to Free Software Magazine for picking me to win these book, and thanks to Apress for giving them away.

So, recently I won another book online, this time from Free Software Magazine. It's titled Linux System Administration. I'm really looking forward to reading through this book.
