Changes to the Doctor Who guide. 9 July, 2014. Bull; ∞. I recently made some changes to the Doctor Who viewing guide. In preparation for Series 8, which begins on 23rd August with. Of course, with the BBC being the BBC, the first five scripts have now leaked. For a start, the list of. With individual ratings has now been broken out into its own page. Episodes, I might break them out again. Hell, maybe in time a mini-site will be better, but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. However, looking bac...

Go Superfast, Burn 8 million. 20 January, 2015. Bull; ∞. If you’ve been out anywhere in public lately, or watched TV through a catch-up service with ads, chances are you’ll have seen ads for the Government’s Go Superfast ad campaign. This is ostensibly a programme to increase awareness of the benefits of ‘superfast’. Broadband, just in case receiving perpetual junk mail from would-be ISPs wasn’t enough. The actual Go Superfast page. So one wonders why the Government is spending money advertising the avai...

Adventures in Swift: a first (trivial) app. 20 June, 2014. Bull; ∞. My logical first step when learning Cocoa, and the new Swift programming language, was to begin with Apple’s ‘tutorial’ for Cocoa. A very simple Mac app that consists of a slider and nothing else. I’ve published my implementation on GitHub. Although I had a few stumbling blocks (mainly because I hadn’t read the documentation on optionals properly) the process of writing the baby slider app was mostly pain-free. It's been quiet round here.

Serial and the whodunit format. 13 December, 2014. Bull; ∞. I was finding it hard to articulate what I found so disquieting about. Thankfully, its host, Sarah Koenig, with the help of a letter from its main subject, did that for me in this week’s episode. Is a radio programme released as a podcast, telling a true story week-by-week. Its first season focuses on the death of a teenage girl in Baltimore in 1999. Koenig spoke to an alumnus of Hae and Adnan’s school who said there. And its American remake,.

Some consumer-hostile selling tactics now illegal in UK/EU. 27 August, 2014. Bull; ∞. The EU is not perfect. There are many mis-steps in its history: the cookie law; the fisheries and common agricultural policy; the wretched TTIP, etc. etc. But on the other side of the coin, there’s free movement between countries with no need to apply for a visa; the clampdown on roaming charges; the sensible software patent system, and so forth. And then there’s things like this:. 90 Percent of Everything.

26 May, 2014. I used to maintain a traditional blogroll here, but given that (a) the word rhymes with something lavatorial, and (b) many people are primarily somewhere other than their own blog, I thought I’d fix that. This is a list, in no particular order, of awesome people who you should consider reading and/or following. I’m including (as relevant) links to their blog, Twitter, et cetera. British Humanist Association person. He of Instapaper and reviewer of lightbulbs. And all-round good egg.

Doctor Who Essential Viewing Guide - rothwell.im
http://www.rothwell.im/etc/doctor-who
Doctor Who Essential Viewing Guide. 25 August, 2014. Is one of the best things on television, and also one of the oldest: in 2013, it celebrated its fiftieth anniversary. It also has the best theme tune of any TV programme ever made. The continuity has been consistent throughout. There have been no reboots, and major retcons have been explained in-universe. At first glance, then, it might seem like. Is overwhelmingly difficult to get into. Thankfully, it’s a lot easier than it sounds. A word on spoilers.
