Get On, Clip In, Fall OffRandom bletherings of a dilletante cyclist.UA1: Doctor Why- December 31, 2006 Thanks to Nicholas for suggesting this first entry in my new "ten minutes, no references" project, now titled (as you can see) Unreliable Answers. The subject: "Why Dr Who got cancelled. Long term problems, or short-term silliness", and my ten minutes starts... now. By the mid-1980s, Doctor Who had been running for over twenty years, and had become as much part of the televisual furniture as the news. John Nathan-Turner had been producer since about 1981, and while pointing the finger at him...http://uffish.net/archives/2006/12/ua1_doctor_why.html That New Format- December 31, 2006 As alluded to earlier, I've decided to try an experiment with this blog. I want to keep it moving, but make it possible for me to maintain it in a reasonably finite amount of time. I also want to try something... different. So here it is. I'll take suggestions for subjects. I'll then either pick one of those subjects or (if enough people vote, which they probably won't) let people choose them for me by voting on them.

I guess this is probably a hint as to how hectic this year has been for me - I simply haven't had time to stop and think until, well, the end of the year. It's been a real whirlwind of a year. Since January I've stopped being self-employed (I wasn't very good at it, frankly), started at Google, spent quite a lot of time away from home, got married, gone on honeymoon, and rounded things off by buying a house. That's the short version....http://uffish.net/archives/2006/12/the_mike_review.html Document destruction and the path to nirvana- December 31, 2006 Like just about everyone else in the civilised world, my life's progress has been marked by the acquisition of pieces of paper. Some of these pieces of paper are the sort which are given out very casually but which are almost impossible to get rid of without fears that your identity will be borrowed by someone who then uses your Mastercard to get 50 toilets shipped to Lagos before opening a bank account in your name and using it to launder a couple of million quid from their business supplying..http://uffish.net/archives/2006/12/document_destru.html It's been quiet..- December 30, 2006 Yup, this site has been rather quiet for the last few months. But I can't think of anything to write about. What should I write about You tell me... (And hey, whaddyaknow The comment mechanism's broken too. I guess that explains the vastly reduced amount of comment spam recently. Guess I should fix that too.)http://uffish.net/archives/2006/12/its_been_quiet.html |
