A tip for people who sculpt with polystyrene and plaster. Before using a heat gun to shape your styrene block, make sure there's no low-flashpoint adhesive on the surface. Sudden three foot flames in the living room are quite scary

Cool, calm and collected fellow that I am, I simply picked up the flaming block of styrene, carried it to the bathroom and extinguished the flame with the shower, holding my breath the whole time.

Unfortunately, I now have no more polystyrene and on investigation, if I want carvable blocks of decent size, I have to buy four-off at GBP95.00 EACH!!

Okay, so I watched the #virtuality pilot, and it wasn't good. It wasn't terrible either. In fact, it wasn't much of anything. It didn't even manage to be really bad. Really bad, I can watch. I can enjoy things that are truly awful when their awfulness is in itself interesting or enjoyable. Like kids cartoons. cont'd in comments

This was nothing like kids cartoons. This was nothing like anything, or more to the point, this was like everything. I lost count of the number of expositions, plot-devices, subplots and themes they made use of. Essentially, I'd say this pilot can be broken down into four acts: Act 1 - MTV Real Lives (in space). Act 2 - Days of all my children's bold and restless (in Space). Act 3 - 2001: A Space Odyssey with a girl HAL. Act 4 - Tad Williams' Otherland stories

Well put. You hit th enail right on the head. The movie wasn't good or bad. It just was there.
- Jason Huebel
Many thanks, Jason. I laughed at the bit with the airlock, when they were going out to repair the AE35 Unit, er, I mean comm array, lol.

I thought it was amazing, myself. DOA as far as a network TV show, but wonderful all the same.
- Roger Benningfield
Roger, have you SEEN 2001: A Space Odyssey? I spent the whole of virtuality waiting for the computer to say "I'm sorry, I can't let you do that, Dave."
- Slippy 2.0
I think it had more potential than actual quality. Although in fairness, it was well directed, convincingly acted and, let's face it, the editing and production were pretty awesome in places. I think with some paring down (it bears the hallmarks of too-many-cooks writing) and a few tweaks in the general concepts, it *could* be a good show.

I'm not assuming that it's actually a rogue AI. I'm expecting something more along the lines of Sunshine at the least, or Vanilla Sky at the worst.

From the accompanying text: "David Hockney wakes up just before the dawn, takes his phone and from his bed starts to draw the cut flowers by his window, using the 'Brushes' app. With his thumb brushing the screen he works on the same scale you can see in front of you. It's a medium he started using tentatively five months ago but in just the last seven weeks he's made over 200 of these...

My self-inspired fictional creation (simon the psychotic sparky) has broken free of my brain and created his own twitter and friendfeed accounts. You might like to point yourselves at http://friendfeed.com/psychot... or http://twitter.com/psychot.... I should warn you though, he IS psychotic (amongst other things)
but you might find him occasionally entertaining

Just in case anybody was fooled by last week's Top Gear. Michael Schumacher is SOOOO not The Stig. Schuey wasn't actually wearing The Stig's racing whites, his build is different, the way he moves is different. That helmet came off far too easily to be a racing helmet fitted for his head. It's been a running gag of Clarkson's for years.

Installing wireless data collection on site, using an app on my G1 to locate and range cell towers. Much patting of backs ensues. Yay me!
I have just discovered that we went to all that effort installing a GPRS data collection system and they're only accessing the data from the room next door. I pointed out that using the RS232 connection might have been a better option. "Oh no," they said," we've budgeted to put that in NEXT year."
