How many obvious errors can you spot in this Sun story: Jennifer could be Dr Who Ab Fab star Jennifer Saunders is set to be the first female Timelord – for just one episode. The comic actress is in talks to become Doctor Who as David Tennant, 36, will leave after filming three specials in… Continue reading The Sun on Doctor Who
BBC Radio iPlayer
The BBC Radio Player is no more. The Listen Again streams have all been rebranded to be part of the iPlayer. See this page for more details. But it doesn’t look like very much has changed. From an initial glance it seems that my BBC streams pages are still being built – so my HTML… Continue reading BBC Radio iPlayer
Server Issues
You’ll have noticed (I hope) that this site (along with a number of other sites I host on this server) went missing for a few days earlier this week. It just dropped off the internet at about Saturday lunchtime and didn’t reappear until Tuesday evening. I’m still trying to find out exactly what happened, but… Continue reading Server Issues
Google Sees All
An interesting story in today’s Telegraph. Apparently the photo that proved that John and Anne Darwin were together in Panama was found by someone searching for “John Anne Panama” in Google. I’ve just tried it and it still works. Searching for “John Anne Panama” in Google image search brings back a picture of them from… Continue reading Google Sees All
The Golden Compass – A Review
I saw The Golden Compass last night. In summary, I thought it was a pretty good adaptation. At times it moved a bit faster than I wanted it to, but that’s only to be expected from a two-hour film based on such a complex book. If you read on, there will be spoilers for both… Continue reading The Golden Compass – A Review

Last night I should probably have been working on my tutorial for tomorrow’s London Perl Workshop but instead I was uploading photos of New Zealand to Flickr. So now there are sets from Christchurch and Fox Glacier as well as a more general set of photos of the South Island. There’s also a South Island… Continue reading More Photos

Doctor Who Advent Calendar This image appeared on the BBC’s Doctor Who site today. I’m guessing that they are doing some kind of Doctor Who advent calendar this year (notice that “advent” is highlighted). We’ll need to go back on Saturday for more information. Note for US readers – the date (1/12/07) is in the… Continue reading Doctor Who Advent Calendar
Billie Piper to return to Dr Who
I’m really not sure how I feel about this. Actress Billie Piper is to return to Doctor Who, the BBC has confirmed. She will star in three episodes of the sci-fi drama, reprising her role as the Doctor’s companion, Rose Tyler. Rose’s return will mean the Doctor has three assistants in next year’s series –… Continue reading Billie Piper to return to Dr Who
On The Naming Of Bears
The naming of a teddy bear is a serious business. I mean, you wouldn’t want to accidentally name one after a known paedophile.
Some Photos At Last
Those of you who were reading my blog back in July will remember a number of posts about me buying a digital SLR camera which I was going to take away on holiday with me. You may be wondering why you haven’t seen any photos. The truth is that I made a fundamental mistake with… Continue reading Some Photos At Last
