One Year

Saturday, May 11th, 2002

It’s been one year since DNA died.

I haven’t bought the ‘new’ book, because all it contains is stuff previously published, but scattered, and stuff (the Salmon Of Doubt of the title) that wasn’t ready for publishing, and I don’t want to encourage publishers to raid authors computers for scraps to publish.

So I leave you with an article I posted mid-june 2000 on alt.fan.douglas-adams:

The big news is the new book, apparently called the “Sardine of Speculation”,
UK-ISDN 0552137030, it features the crew of the Heart of Gold re-united (minus
Marvin) hiring Dirk Gently to find the paranoid android in another time-stream
where he still remembers whatever it was that was printed on Arther’s Brain-wave
patterns back in the Stunt-ship.

The form of the novel will start with Arther throwing himself off a cliff in
order to see his life flash before his eyes to try to remember the exact
co-ordinates specified to him by an Elevator in a ship that crashed into his
cottage on it’s maiden voyage, saving the Vogons the trouble of demolishing it
in the first place.

Aquarionics is Moving.

I’d guess that most of you know this already, but for the others, Aquarionics is moving to pol’s Geekstuff.co.uk server, where it will be happy for a while.

In doing this, the server will go down for a while whilst I recode Aquarionics to work with PHP 4.2.0, which is what is on the server, bits will be going up slowly (Static content before dynamic, probably) although most of the newest bits (Afphrid2-beta and the next paragraph) will work straight off…

The Gallery has been recoded in PHP, now automatically detecting images, thumbnails, captions, colors and descriptions. It’s all Very Cool, so go look. I’ve even uploaded a new gallery, the photos from the Sunderland Drama Soc production of Stags and Hens as produced last year. tEC & CCDE pictures will move here soonish.
