I decided to renew my Flickr subscription the other day, after about six months of me being a poxy free user – with limited privileges. Paying a yearly subscription enables you to upload as many pictures as you want, whenever you want. I’ve got so many pictures already on my Mac, so if I dump them on Flickr I have extra hard drive space!
Elsewhere, the new episodes of Red Dwarf started on Friday. Obviously, it was never going to measure up to the classic series, but it was good nonetheless. Shot without an audience and on hi-def film does give it a different look, and the lack of a budget does not show at all. In fact, the sfx look so much more impressive than previous years. It’s the final episode today, and I’m hopeful it’s been popular enough for it to return as a full series.
And finally, Forest won! Four games to go and we’re currently out of the relegation zone. Long may it continue!
It’s been a while since I last wrote anything, that time has largely been taken up by watching Lost and just carrying on with the mundane.
Glad I started watching Lost, it’s another great American tv programme -save for some criminal English ‘accents’! – and it’s great now to be able to talk with all the guys at work about it!
Also in the world of telly, Easter will see three new episodes of Red Dwarf broadcast. I really have high hopes for this. It’s been 10 years since season 8, more than enough time for Doug Naylor to write some decent scripts. It’s also been great to hear Robert Llewellyn’s views of how it’s all going via Twitter. He’s posted various pics of himself dressed up like Kryten, and also given us an insight into the filming.
Poor Robert though, he made an honest remark last night on Twitter, regarding Comic Relief’s use of celebrities to guilt you into donating, and the poor fella had a never ending stream of ‘twits’ who had got the wrong end of the stick, thinking he was against Comic Relief altogether. Problem with Twitter is the original posts often get lost in the subsequent postings, so for somebody like Mr Bobby Llew, it can often lead to incidents like last night! I’m sure he’ll be a bit more careful in future…
