Yeah, just general stuff. Basically this is where I’ll put everything that doesn’t go anywhere else. You always need that kind of category right.

Trains, walking home and Christmas decorations

Posted by on in Stuff

Yesterday the train services were messed up, and for a very sad reason, but I won’t go into that. But because of that I had to walk home part of the way, which was actually quite nice. It’s funny walking around places that you normally drive through. It changes the way you look at the area and you notice things in a completely different way.

Whilst I was walking back I noticed people’s Christmas decorations, or lack of them. It was interesting to see the two extremes. Some people had really gone for it and done a fine job (or not so fine in some cases). It seemed to me that some houses had been decorated very tastefully and some not so tastefully, but there were lots of houses with no decorations.

Soldering Iron Found, Projects can commence

That is to say that projects may commence at some point. It’s a step in the right direction I suppose. I probably need a few more bits and pieces sorted out before I can get going, so realistically, after Christmas.

At least, that’s the plan anyway.

Who off to Hollywood?

Posted by on in Stuff

I’ve just been reading about a terrible plan to bring Doctor Who to the big screen. Apparently the director of the last few Potter movies is planning to move the Doctor to Hollywood.

What a terrible idea, what a really awful idea. The only good thing that came out of the last attempt at taking Who to the US was that Paul McGann ended up doing the most excellent series of audio books for big finish as the 8th Doctor.

I have no hopes of this plan bringing anything good to the world of Doctor Who.

Old Badges

Interesting what things from the past rise to the surface from time to time. I’ve had these two badges for many years now and I can’t remember the last time I saw them.

They bring back lots of good memories.

November is getting colder

Posted by on in Stuff

The year is getting old and tired and in some ways I feel like that too like there’s just this stretch to get through to the end of the year and the Christmas break and new year.

It’s getting colder and my umbrella has seen action again. To the extent that it’s partly broken as well.

It’s winter and I don’t want it to be. Nothing I can do but look forward to holidays and a rest. I guess it isn’t too far but it does feel like a long wait at the moment.

Another kit

When I was at the V&A Digital Design Weekend I picked up this kit as it looked like quite a lot of fun. I probably won’t get a chance to do much with it until November at the earliest, but hopefully it’ll get made soon.
