She was involved in Circ (duo), but they disbanded in 2005.
She appears fairly inactive as of 2016-02-02. The missing website seems to confirm this.

TODO – add my notes, and scripts

Git >

Provides a reasonable environment for working with Git while trapped on Windows. A console window with Bash, various everyday linux console applications, and git.

I loved it, and used it regularly for sane scripting when trapped on Windows, via bash, as well as for git itself.

I replaced it with Cygwin/Babun.

Not related to Windows Subsystem for Linux.

Running a batch file as administrator on Windows 10

I ran into this problem when working with symlinks on Windows 8.1 and then Windows 10. See Windows 10 symlinks.

The solution is pretty simple and it was tested and works on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.

Note that scripts like this will eventually find their way somewhere into my git repository: https://github.com/spiralofhope/shell-random/tree/master

Windows 10 symlinks

HOWTO, shell scripting, todo, Windows, Windows 10

Windows 10 >

Symlinks, variously called junctions, hardpoints and whatever else, exist on Windows. On Linux, it is simply ln.

These are my notes for Windows 10.

Note that if you want to do any of this in a .cmd file, then you will need to elevate permissions. See Running a batch file as administrator on Windows 10.

Git on Windows has ln, but it does not work.
Babun supports it.
- Maybe this means Cygwin does, too.

A comedic commentary of Aeon Flux – (2005 movie).

Although amusing and with a few laugh-out-loud moments, this is mostly a waste of time. The RiffTrax concept might be nice for either fans or haters of a film, but this RiffTrax of this movie was not particularly entertaining to me. I’ll likely get into other RiffTrax’s later, so perhaps my opinion will change, but for now I don’t recommend this.

(Summarizing it would spoil it.)

Adorable and heartbreaking, this was one of the first if not the first short film which got me interested in this sub-genre.

In a ruined world, the last remaining city is revealed to be populated by clones, the need of which the lead scientist hopes to cure but his brother works to persist.

Overall a decent flick, but with great music that quickly becomes over-the-top with its loud pervasiveness. It starts strong, but its big ending action sequence looks cheesy as all hell. I can tentatively say I like this movie. I have, after all, seen it multiple times. Something in me is saddened somehow, as though this movie should have been better but I can’t put my finger on it. I’m not familiar with its source material, but I expect those who are would have more grounds to find fault with this movie.

Properly titled Æon Flux
Based on the TV series Æon Flux.

A death in Antarctica spurs an investigation that leads to a murder mystery over lost Soviet-era cannisters.

Decent enough to recommend for a watch, but as I’ve seen three times now I can say that it’s a forgettable movie save for Kate Beckensale being hot.

No relation to Wite-Out (correction fluid)

A dragon, having, for unknown reasons, landed as a meteorite but on top of a clutch of eggs and somehow not damaging them, heals a not-knight who risked his life for the eggs but actually to steal them is cursed to become the slave of a druid who is for some reason called a sorcerer.

This is basically a high-quality TV-movie but released for the big screen. It’s not dependent on the other movies in this series, which is probably for the best. It’s not great, not particularly good and only worth a one-time watch for people who are fans of this sort of genre.

This is a prequel to the series, set about 100 years before the first movie.
