It’s always great to hear David Warner in a Doctor Who story, and he was very good in this one. This was one of the best of the batch that I got when the companion chronicles was on sale.

Doctor Who Companion Chronicles: The Catalyst
Not a bad story at all actually. A good solid companion story. I enjoyed this.
A simple IFTTT app arrives for Pebble
I noticed it on the Pebble Time store the other day and installed it. It seems easier to use than the other one I have, which only seems to work intermittently. Also, this one has three slots to trigger different recipes, all using the IFTTT maker channel, which is expected.
I haven’t had any time to try it out as yet, mainly because I have thought of three things I want to automate via the IFTTT maker channel. Perhaps I will, and then I’ll tell you how it works out.
So where is my discover weekly playlist
I’ve been really enjoying Spotify’s ‘discover weekly’ playlist, until that is, this week, when it has completely failed to arrive. My last playlist was dated the 14th and since then I’ve had nothing new! It’s amazing how easy it is to get used to things, and I’ve really got used to this playlist being refreshed every week. So, not getting it this week has been annoying. Almost an inconvenience!
I hope that they get it sorted out soon!
Doctor Who Companion Chronicles: The Stealers from Saiph
This was good. Very much in the style of the 4th Doctor, and with the amazing Mary Tamm, who was one of my all time favourite companions. She is very missed.
And the next batch from Beer 52 arrives
Ok, it was last week, but I thought I’d mention it. I had a couple of less than perfect experiences with the last batch, so I’m hoping for much more satisfactory experience this time around. I’ll be sinking the first one or two in a day or so. I’ll let you know the results.
Removing all the posterous posts
I used to use posterous as a convenient platform for posting and storing field recordings. However, posterous went quite a long time ago now, and it seems silly to keep these posts around. Unfortunately there were 135 of these posts. Anyway, I’ve deleted all of these now as a part of tidying up the site.
Doctor Who Companion Chronicles: The Time Vampire
This wasn’t a bad Companion Chronicles story really. I did mind it. It wasn’t the best I’ve heard, but it wasn’t the worst at all.
So I watched “I dream of wires”
It was quite interesting actually. I filled a lot of gaps in my knowledge about modulars. However, it still hasn’t made me really want one. I can understand the ideas behind them and I can understand why they are popular, but I still don’t want to commit to getting one. Perhaps it’s because I’ve never actually got my hands on one so I’m not hooked as yet. Who knows.
Still, it was interesting to watch and hear some of the views of a few artists I really respect.
Doctor Who Companion Chronicles: The Child
Whilst this was quite cheap it didn’t really do anything much for me I’m afraid. I didn’t think much of the story really, it didn’t really appeal.
