Listen to this: 7 Things I Will Never Tell You
Words cannot describe this cathartic work of art. It must be heard for itself.
You are not your parking space.
Wrote and posted the first Casting Call for Estalvin's Legacy yesterday to the Voice Actor's United mailing list. Now I have another two to put together for the weekend to give everyone time to record their auditions.
I have to admit that I've had a lukewarm opinion towards the new series of Dr. Who. But after watching this weeks episode, Blink, I am impressed. It is this seasons 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern'-style episode. But unlike the disappointments of season 2's Love & Monsters or Torchwood's Random Shoes, Blink delivers a wonderfully creepy first and second act. The third act brings back some of the traditional zaniness, but still has a poignant and satisfactory conclusion.
I've managed to disable a lot of my blog links. Any blog post after June 2004 has lost it's /yyyy/mm/dd/title link and has reverted to the underlying /node/id. The pathauto module which is supposed to be responsible for creating these URL aliases doesn't want to play ball.
Links actually on the site all work. This only effects any bookmarks or Google search results.
No, it doesn't exist yet. At least not publicly. Google pushed out Google Gears to users of their Google Reader. It allows off-line use of their rather nice RSS news reader. Admittedly you can't do everything off-line that you can do on-line. Such as 'mark all as read'. I'm not sure why that needs to be done on-line.
Basically, Gears creates a local cache of the unread news items. Then when you go back on-line it synchronises with the server those item that you've read while off-line.
Looking over the next three episode's scripts that I wrote last June I've identified some of the characters that need to be taken out. Particularly Simon, who was a companion of Liam. Ho doesn't exist any more and so the story needs to close in around his absence. Unfortunately he was a driving force through a big chunk of this story line. I'm remaining undaunted, however.

And there's a sequel after the break...
I've published the first episode of Estalvin's Legacy.
After initial voice recording back in mid-February, to now, it has taken about three months. It's been a blast. A long, slow drawn out blast, but still a blast.
Now onto Episode 2. The first draft of the script was written last June, but several characters have been dropped from the story. Something of a re-write is required.
Aiming for October 1st for the release of Episode 2. Unless, of course, I can manage to get it out sooner.
