I'm watching The Audrey Hepburn Story on ABC, which I taped. Jennifer Love Hewitt does a good job. I didn't realize she was playing Audrey in the WWII years -- it looked another actress. It's kind of neat to see the actors that are picked to play all the other actors in the movie. The Gregory Peck actor didn't look anywhere close though he had a good voice. William Holden actor looked vaguely right and had the right attitude. Humphrey Bogart actor looked and acted like Bogart, although he only had a short scene. George Peppard actor looked right, sounded a bit off, although once again only in one short scene. Mel Ferrer was played by Eric McCormack of "Will and Grace", and he doesn't look or sound or act like Mel Ferrer, but he still did a good job, and it wasn't like he was playing Will in a tv movie.

Audrey Hepburn is my favorite actress of all time, and Jennifer does as well a job as anybody else could to capture Audrey's aura. She does the accent rather well, and the costumes and hair style is right. I just read a fan review from a fan who is disgusted with Jennifer's performance. But I think that's a little too harsh, because no one can *be* Audrey. The movie seems to be quite factual, although I have no idea. It only covers up to when she was filming "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and it's a three hour tv movie, so it covers her life up to that point quite well. It doesn't seem like they had to rush through part of her life to because they ran out of time. It does a good job at staying away from some of the more inappropriate things that she did. It's tastefully done, letting her life speak for itself without being sensational. A lot of the material is taken from letters, personal accounts, and such. And I did learn quite a few things about Audrey that I hadn't seen before, so it's a worthwhile movie for any fan...

They're doing some work near one of the buildings where I work. Digging up the ground and such. Today they cut a data cable, which isolated our building and another building from the main servers and such. That pretty much killed our day so a lot of people left early, although I wasn't working and it's not like I can leave before 21:00 anyway. We could probably still hit our Division servers, but we were cut off from the DNS servers so it would have been tedious, and we're not in emergency mode.

Another thing that happened a month or two ago was some sort of virus that wiped out all Microsoft files on our work group server. Easy enough for me to replace my files since I have the originals on my Mac. But for people who use the server as the primary source, they were out of luck. And we also found out that we weren't backing up those directories. It always seems that the time to find out that the backups aren't working is when you're trying to restore some files. Which is why you're supposed to do test restores every month or two to make sure the backups are still working, so important is the data.

Speaking of backups and servers, I got my claim check from the insurance company for my stolen and wrecked car. $5300, so now I'm thinking of getting a server. That's probably overkill, but a new PowerBook would be really nice. I can get a 500 MHz top of the line from MacConnection and they'll add 128 MB RAM. So it'll have 256 MB RAM, a 12 GB HD which I can switch with the 18 GB drive in my current PowerBook. Then I can get Mac OS X Server for the old PowerBook and use that as a server. I'd have to get some sort of USB to serial and ADB converter so that I can keep using the Ricochet and my keyboard, cause I love the Apple Extended Keyboard II. An excellent design that they haven't been able to improve upon. Maybe I should wait until Mac OS X Consumer, so that I don't have to upkeep two different operating systems. Not that I really need another PowerBook, the current one has lots of RAM, HD space, and is fast enough for my needs. But the server that I have right now is really slow. I keep hoping it will die so then I have to get another computer.
