Goodbye Admiral Ackbar
Well it really is sad to hear that Erik Bauersfeld has passed away at the great age of 93. That’s impressive. He’s responsible for delivering my favourite line in Star Wars “It’s a trap!”. I always thought that Admiral Ackbar was a great character, not just for that line of course.
So goodbye Admiral, and goodbye Erik. You will be missed.

Pebble woes
So my latest update to the firmware on my Pebble Time wasn’t quite so successful it seems. In fact it took a little while to get the thing up and running again. I have no idea why, but it probably took around 30 minutes by the time I’d sorted it out, which was a little annoying really.
I’m hoping that this isn’t the shape of things to come from my Pebble and that it’ll go back to being reliable after this.

Another recording of the waves from Lyme Regis beach.
Blancmange, Blind Vision, clear vinyl
This was a great little find. I do like ‘Blind Vision’. The B side was something I hadn’t heard before too, so that was a bit of a bonus.
