Airforce One Plans
Wednesday, April 12th, 2006For all those gamers who wondered what airforce one really was like… Forget Airforce One. Forget The West Wing. Forget NCIS. See The Guardian.
Lunch Hijacked by an Idea
Tuesday, April 11th, 2006There I was eating my lunch at work and I get jumped by an idea. Wonderland, Narnia, Never Never Land and other children’s stories have a common trick in them. Children go to a fantasy world and then come back and no one notices they were missing because time works differently in the two worlds. […]
When Inspirons Collide
Monday, April 10th, 2006Walking to work has up moments and down moments. You get to see wild life. You get drenched by the rain. I’ll not blather on/wax lyrical on the subject today. The big plus is time to think. So when I started this outpouring of my incomplete concepts I had an idea for a 70s TV […]
So many Ideas forgot too Blog on Sunday
Monday, April 10th, 2006Well its technically 14 minutes into Monday here. I’ve been having so much fun I forgot I hadn’t posted here yet. Another relativelly early start and again a good result. Got 2500 more words written on the new story getting the character to just before the lowest point of her ride. Trapped alone and about […]
That Saturday Post
Saturday, April 8th, 2006Well it’s Saturday again so the usual drudge done. But by some strange chance I actually got up a bit earlier today. Like I used to be able to regularly. Thus I have had time to knock together another part of my new web site AND actually type a few more words of my new […]
Liverpool Indirect
Saturday, April 8th, 2006My experience of using Liverpool Direct has been OK. Once very quick off the mark. Once half did the job and I can understand that they had their hands tied dealing with the problem. Once no response to an urgent query that I fortunately figured out the answer to by my own devices. Their Logo […]
Meandering Thoughts for Friday
Friday, April 7th, 2006So I spent the evening (minus one hour for the light relief that is Hustle) hacking a gallery of a few of my pictures together. Sometimes getting this web site together feels like one of the modern trials of Hercules. And as many people will surely tell you I am not a modern Hercules 🙂 […]
Árǽdan Discovery
Thursday, April 6th, 2006I was looking over Árǽdan last night, getting back to editing it, when I realised that one of the minor characters towards the end of the story has an unexplained mystical skill. I’m leaving it unexplained in Árǽdan itself but it kicked off an idea for another story in the same world that tells the […]
Serious and Organised: Logo
Wednesday, April 5th, 2006I had been going to blog about the need for a cool modern (what a few years ago would have been a Cool Britannia) logo for the show. SOCA beat me to the logo and the BBC beat me to the analysis. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4876818.stm "It’s not our policy to comment on the logo or the agency […]
Serious and Organised: the Set Up
Tuesday, April 4th, 2006So what does our hypothetical show need to make it a hit. First a pair of tough crime fighters. But this isn’t the masogonistic 70s so one will be a woman. She’ll be hard as nails, dug from the same quarry as Buffy, ex special forces. For a bit of a role reversal he’ll be […]
