eclipse PDT

Published by nekudotayim under Random

I’ve been using Editplus to do my PHP coding for many many years. Only a few months back I started using Eclipse PDT, and already I can’t live without it. A lot of convenience than I can ask for.

But still need to keep a simple text editor like Editplus around. Don’t want to have to open a big IDE just to do a simple, minor, typho editing.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Minghella

Published by nekudotayim under Random

“Mr. Anthony Minghella has passed away on 18 March 2008 of a haemorrhage in Charing Cross Hospital, London, following an operation the previous week to remove cancer of the tonsils and neck.”

I’m all misty-eyed to read the news. Rest In Peace, Great Sir.Thank you for The English Patient. Thank you for Cold Mountain.

My boss once asked me if I have any ambition about Hollywood (or filmmaking in general). I said I’d very much like to meet Anthony Minghella in person, and perhaps ask him a thing or two about his films. It seemed to be a far too distant hope. It’s now an impossible thing to happen.

I’ve read The Ninth Life of Louis Drax last year when I read that he’s going to make a movie adaptation of that book. Will we ever get to see the movie?
