I liked this. So I thought I’d post it.

Doctor Who Companion Chronicles: Empathy Games

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.

Not a bad story at all actually. A good solid companion story. I enjoyed this.

A simple IFTTT app arrives for Pebble

Posted by ashleyelsdonon September 25, 2015September 12, 2015in Mobile Applications, Tech, Wearable ComputingLeave a comment

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

Posted by ashleyelsdonon September 24, 2015in Listening, MusicLeave a comment

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

Posted by ashleyelsdonon September 23, 2015September 21, 2015in AdminLeave a comment

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.
