Dark Eyes Fugitives is just as good as the Great War episode. I really had forgotten how good this story was. It’s made me look forward to Darks Eyes 2 even more.

8th Doctor: Dark Eyes – The Great War
As I’ve just watched the entire 5 seasons of Primeval (more about that another time) it was interesting to notice that the voice of Molly in this 8th Doctor story was Ruth Bradley, who was in the last few episodes of Primeval. This first part of dark eyes is a great set up for the story, and even though I’ve heard it once before I’m really enjoying it. Paul McGann is such an unsung hero of the Doctor Who world. I personally think that his audio stories are simply excellent, and dark eyes is up there with the best he’s done.
So I’m looking forward even more to dark eyes 2 which is coming in the not too distant future, and also finishing listening to this story soon as well.
Getting back to some Windows Mobile roots …
Aurora for Windows Mobile
Audiobox for Windows Mobile
VU meters in Audiobox
These apps are so old that when they first came out we weren’t calling them apps. They were applications, or software! But they’re still good, still work, and are usable.
It’s all part of my ‘make the Axim’ useful project. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Alison Moyet, The Minutes …
I realise that this album came out last year, but I only just gave it a listen, and I’ve been really impressed by it. It’s some great synth pop, and I love synth pop! In fact, some of the sounds and the song construction is very reminiscent of the last Yazoo album. I think it’s a great album and I expect to be listening to it for some time to come.
And so the Pebble app store arrives
It just makes me want another Pebble even worse than before, but I know I should wait a few months and see what, if anything, Apple come up with and if it’s worth getting excited about.
Blake’s 7: The Liberator Chronicles 2 – The Magnificent Four
This is a great story. A true Blake’s 7 original, just like the episodes. I really enjoyed it even though I’ve heard it before, and of course it’s made me think that I should listen to more of the back catalogue now.
I think I probably will.
A bit of business buzzword fun
I made this little applet in processing and I thought it might be fun. You can find it here.
Update to the littleBits videos page
I’ve added some new videos to this page if you’re interested in what I’m doing with this lovely little modular kit.
4th Doctor: The King of Sontar
I was really looking forward to this audiobook arriving, so when it became available I downloaded it straight away and listened to it. Initially I was a little disappointed I have to say, I think that in the first half the story meandered a bit, but after that it got straight to it and headed strongly in the direction of being a solid Sontaran story.
Overall it was a good start to the new 4th Doctor season. Good to have Leela back again, and to get a twist on the Sontaran story. I’m looking forward to what’s next.
Sculpture playing live at the Fish Police album launch
I’ve been meaning to post this video for ages now. I thought that Sculpture gave one of the most interesting performances I’ve seen in a long time. It was inventive and mesmerizing and I really hope I get the opportunity of seeing them again.
