someone who's doing some things
Continuing my theme of being into retro space opera, I’ve finally got around to finishing the comic version of the start of Space 1999, at least the first edition anyway, and I was surprised by just how closely it follows the original episode.
It’s quite interesting to read the comic and watch the old series at the same time! Although having just had a look for series two it seems to cost a fortune!
Look what just turned up in the post! I’m looking forward to listening to this and then deciding if it’s worth subscribing to the rest of the series.
I’ve upgraded the mobile version of the site. It should look a bit different now and a little nicer too. Hopefully it’ll give me a little bit more freedom to make the mobile version a bit different from the desktop version.
Over the next few days I’ll be tinkering with different themes for the mobile version, so if you see it change it’s just me playing.
I always think that the middle film is the difficult one. I thought that about the Lord of The Rings trilogy and I expected the middle film in the Hobbit to be difficult, but, I must admit that it was really rather good. If I had any complaints it would be that at some points the special effects looked a little too game-like. Aside from that I really enjoyed it. The 3D wasn’t bad either, it didn’t encroach on the story and it was quite subtle too.
So, overall I thought it was really good. I’m looking forward to the next and final part, and then I’ll have to get all the extended versions and try to watch them in a whole day!
I bought this as the story had Mary Tamm in it. I hadn’t realised that she only had a really very small part in this, which was a bit of a disappointment really. However, as a story it was really very good and actually great to hear so many of the companions from the past again.
I’ve got another couple of companion stories to listen to, which I bought simply because they were Mary Tamm stories. I’m hoping she’ll be in them a little more than in this one though.
I keep looking at it and I know that I need to spend some serious time with this fantastic piece of hardware again.
What a lovely little machine.
I saw this app for iOS and knew that I had to get hold of it. It’s a very different way of calculating anything, and when you look at it and use it for any sort of calculation it is very intuitive, allowing you to take the result of one calculation into another.
In some ways it’s like a little spreadsheet for simple calculations. It’s a good start, but I think it needs some more work. I’d like to see the ability to save little calcs and also to schedule updates to them. I think it would be very useful if you could use simple variables in the calcs too. Things like today’s date would be useful, and I’m sure that there’s more too. I’d also like to be able to back up my calcs to dropbox.
Anyway, it’s a good start and I hope that the developer will take a it further.
These three have been on my mind so I thought I’d write them down …
Sure, there’s other things, but these three have been on my mind today so I thought I’d share them.
