| Doctor Who rates |
more from same (Miscellaneous) |
 Doctor Who came eleventh for Sunday the 19th of April, with over a million viewers across the nation, some hundred thousand in Adelaide.
This is quite good for both ABC in general and Doctor Who specifically. Until you see all three Biggest Loser "programmes" scored more.

| Website Problems |
more from same (Miscellaneous) |
Apologies to anyone trying to access this site for the past few hours. There was a software problem which refused to go away until I sacrificed a goat and held my tongue exactly the right way, aligned to Venus and mars and pointing West instead of East which really confused me.
All said and done, it's fixed and sorry again for the inconvenience.

| Charlton Heston |
more from same (Miscellaneous) |
Charlton Heston is no more.
The most (mis)quoted character from planet of the apes has passed on to the great rifle range in the sky.
Now I'm sure someone will pry his gun from his cold dead hands.

| Steve Gerber RIP |
more from same (Miscellaneous) |
I am sorry to announce the death of Steve Gerber on February 10, 2008. The creator of Wundarr the Aquarian, Omega the Unknown and Foolkiller, Gerber lost a lawsuit with Marvel over his character Howard the Duck.
I usually write a more comprehensive obituary but I'm annoyed and distressed over how little publicity this has gotten locally. Here's <http://www.newsfromme.com/archives/2008_02_11.html> a much better one by Mark Evanier, who's also taken over Gerber's blog to append more as it occurs.

| Website downtime |
more from same (Miscellaneous) |
It's finally happened. My old-faithful server (having seen just shy of 7 years faithful service) has passed on. It's kicked the bucket and shuffled of this mortal coil.
It's <expletive deleted> snuffed it.
So I've spent the past 24 hours trying desperately to get my shiny new server installed and up to spec in record time. And now here it is.

| What the BLEEP? |
more from same (Miscellaneous) |
You may ask yourself what the <expletive deleted> happened here? Well asking won't get you much more on an answer than "I was bored".
We have a new website, some new features, some old features, and most likely some really nasty problems as well, but in this case I feel confident that I haven't broken anything irreperable

| Stupidity |
more from same (Miscellaneous) |
Yup, stupidity on my part. I was attempting to update the database for the new site and stuffed up the database on this one. Luckily I only wiped out everyone's passwords, but I got them all back so no harm done. People who had trouble logging in today will be pleased to see that they can login now.

| Greetings from afar |
more from same (Miscellaneous) |
Hi, I've just got a letter from a long lost member - Chandler (nee Helen) writes from Lismore and says hi, how's it going. Her car made it but needs serious rest and recuperation. Chanlder is enjoying the new doctor immensely and is very glad they have stuck to the old format rather than americanising it. She is only in Lismore for a couple more weeks before moving on, she's chasing the sun but is finding it difficult to catch. Surfers is her next stop and is hoping to find someone tall, blond and handsome. End message.
