The Dreaming Arm: Primeval - a whole new can of worms
http://thelonglane.blogspot.com/2008/01/primeval-whole-new-can-of-worms.html
Commentary on the state of the world, the people and other life forms which inhabit it and what they do in their spare time. Sunday, January 20, 2008. Primeval - a whole new can of worms. After having been in the doldrums up until a few years ago (ie virtually non-existent) British TV science fiction seems to be going through something of a renaissance at the moment. The revitalised. ITV's Saturday evening sci-fi drama. Seems to be their attempt to rival "Who", and a rather feeble attempt at. On the othe...

The Dreaming Arm: A Different Ball Game: The GAA up North
http://thelonglane.blogspot.com/2008/01/different-ball-game-gaa-up-north.html
Commentary on the state of the world, the people and other life forms which inhabit it and what they do in their spare time. Monday, January 14, 2008. A Different Ball Game: The GAA up North. I've written an article on the social and political issues facing the GAA in Northern Ireland for the GAA website "An Fear Rua". It comes in two parts:. A Different Ball Game: Part I. A Different Ball Game: Part II. Very erudite sounding article. Am impressed. Monday, January 14, 2008 10:34:00 PM. You’ve certa...

Apropos of absolutely nothing at all. December 28, 2011 at 5:46 pm ( Uncategorized. Dir: Billy Ray, 2003). After all, we are in the entertainment business. Rupert Murdoch, after the exposure of the Hitler Diaries forgery. I blame Konrad Kujau and Robert Harris. Actually, probably Orson Welles too, having been bowled over by his classic, and criminally overlooked,. In the first instance, but also the. Etc greed blinded them. The scoop, if true, was incredibly lucrative; the desire to keep a lid on lea...

They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom

They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom. Posted Mon 22 Dec. Ages ago, during the second release (I was never going to get up at 6am to order one), I bought a Raspberry Pi. I booted it up a few times, but it never sparked any imagination. In fact, given it is a crippled last-gen (or few gens before that) mobile phone, I couldn’t see the point in it. Teaching children computing? Time passes. As that is what it does. I’ve always been aware, on a meta-level, of the whole arduino. With other ideas, I got...

You say stay and never leave. Posted Tue 21 Jan. He’s in a world of his own. He’s in a world of his own. The Smiths had three absolutely awesome tunes (. Ask/Panic/I Started Something I Couldn’t Finish. To which I would always dance, many, many excellent tunes (. Frankly Mr Shankley/How Soon Is Now/Girlfriend in a Coma/Heavens Knows I’m Miserable Now. Lots of good tunes and lots of filler. Much like any other band, really. He’d like the time to play with his mind. He’d like the time to go. Across the wat...

And with strange aeons even death may die. Posted Sat 26 Jul. Then Eldest Male Child mentioned something to me. He passed a flyer tacked to the railing in town (nestled alongside the promos for operas, open air theatre, lunchtime organ recitals and the like) for a play. Not any ordinary play, but two Lovecraft stories. In the Cambridge Union. No less. This…intrigued me. And how could I not go? Staged by a new company, Shedload Theatre. How would you stage Lovecraft? Sound effects off-stage. The sound...
