Fade into the night

Fade into the night

A track I did some 8 months ago

Summer has Gone

So the movement of the clocks has happened again, (here in the UK)

It's winter now, the nights are going to be dark....

Drink

I was going to have some pics of some of the real ales that I have tried this week, but for some reason BlogPress will not let me upload the images it keeps saying that I am not connected to the internet, when I know I am.

I have a feeling that this is a bug in BlogPress, sad to find one the first time I try to use something for the very first time.

I try to just use one picture or more several times but it was always with the same result...

Holiday end

So it's nearly the end of a weeks holiday do I feel rested?

Yes, I think so,

 I have had so many lie ins that its getting embarrassing ( but I will not stop me from enjoying more!)

As the weather has been horrid staying in and reading, listening to music and drinking have been fun and the only way to go. (Well it works for me, that all that counts)

Secrets

So what do you do when you find out a secret of your partner of over twenty years?

In my case the secret is nothing to do with infidelity, which is good news to me... But it could have been much worse if that was the case.

So what do you do when you find out a secret?

I don't know the answer to this as my partner told me her secret

I don't know weather to feel sad or angry that she keep this from me

It doesn't alter our relationship in any direct way other than the fact that its been something that she felt I did not need to know about.

I think that my best course of action is to do nothing and just accept the fact that she has told me and that why should it change how I feel about her.

Perhaps in a few weeks I can reflect back on it and also why she has decided to tell me now.

Blogs

I was looking through some blogs today as I am busy chilling, and very well thank you, when looking at these blogs the one thing that I noticed straight away is just how many are either dead or are only just alive, some blogs appear to go through a stage where they are not updated for months at a time.

I must admit that my blog does go through this cycle, but in the last year so so it's more active as I have now decided that the blog is for me and that if anyone else happens to find it and read it good for them.

So the other thing that I have also noticed is that most blogs do not have an audience, this does not make them any less interesting its just that a lot of blogs are written like mine for the owner or are a seep list blog in that the contents of the blog will only ever interest a few people.

With there being so much on line the change of your blog become a big draw is always going to be small unless you are out to make a name for yourself, and if that's what you are after then the old tricks of using sex or scandal will get you an audience of some kind or other.

As by blog has no pictures no sex and is not in any way going to cause a scandal, it's always going to be one of those blogs not seen or read by any one and I am okay with that, no really I am.

I think I could not cope with the idea that my thoughts and words being read by millions and that every one you say is ceased on and looked at and commented on, I just don't know how the celebrity or big name blogs cope with it all, and if you miss putting something on your blog for a day or two, well it's going to be the end of the world or your stick dead or you don't care anymore, so I am happy that my little read blog is out there amongst all the others and that over two or more billion people on the Internet pass it by, thank you very much.

You may ask why do a blog then?

No answer really other than its a great place to store stuff, and even in the years since I have had this blog stuff I wrote a few years ago that I have read read recently has come as a surprise to me, and I wrote it.

I believe that I have seen in my own life some thing called selective memory taking place, and it's scary just how much your brain edits out, and just how quick this editing takes place, so for that reason alone I shall keep making notes to me.

Uncooked fish

So I took Donna out on a date tonight, and took her out for a meal at a gastro pub that we have been to before,where the food was good.

Sadly tonight that was not the case, I decided to have haddock and chips, which when you think about it is an easy meal to cook or so you would think ?
so what happened I hear you ask?

as if you don't already know the answer as if nothing happened,I would not be writing this would I?

The fish was not cooked all the way through, now uncooked fish is not nice, well to me it's not.

To say that I am still upset is an understatement, in fact I think it has totally wrecked my date with donna, it's a good thing that me and donna have been going steady since 1983' well not steady more like married and very happy thank you very much.

So another date night wrecked just because the chief took the fish out 30 seconds or so too early.

I did not get charged for the fish but that does not make up for a date night wrecked, as to me going on a date with so e one you love is one of the most important things that you can do.

Power 2020

So how much power will the iPad of 2020 need? More less than the one of 2012?

One thought that I have had and I am sure lots of other folks have had this one before me is this, why can't the clothes that we wear and move in and also warm up with our body heat be used to generate power?

Could your jeans or tights have a network of nano generators in them arranged in the right way so that when you are moving around or just sitting there breathing you generate electricity, and if the devices of 2020 are also nano powered and the power they need is a lot less than today why can't they be powered by your clothes?

It's a good idea and I am sure that it will happen, probably not in the way I talk out here, but it will happen.

Night

So have you ever just stopped to watch the coming of night, no not watching the sun set, just watching the daylight dissapearing?

Its a nice thing, but also sad thing in that yet another day in your life is over, and its sad to say that you do sometimes stop and think did I make best use of the day that is just fading into the night?

Do stars pulse (not neutron stars)

Do all stars pulse?

 Do the pulses last minutes or  days?

If stars do pulse do the stars vary in brightness?

and finally will the size of the star make a difference and if its a metal rich star?

Tights 3

I know that I have now written two blogs on tights, that this is the third, but I don't think you will work out where this blog is going to go, on the subject of tights!!!!

Anyway here I go with this, I wonder where it will go to.

My thought about tights this time is, who invented the machines that make the tights?

How did they work out how many threads they need to make tights?

How did they work out what speed the thread or nylon could go through the machine?

I don't know the answer to these questions and doing a search on the net has not given me any answers.

Rather sadly though I have seen lots of people in various states of undress wearing tights and doing things to each other, (I suppose that's my fault for not making sure that I have safe search on.)

So to sum up

I don't know who or when the machines used to make tights were invented or created, for all I know they might have just used an existing machine and put it to a new use.

I also wonder just how much money a year the sale of tights is around the world, it must be  rather a large amount, as over half the shops I have looked in always have new designs of tights for sale, and you don't do that unless you are making money, that's not only the shop but also the persons or company's making the tights, designing them let a lone the new types of yarn or whatever they use to make them with.

Tights 2

Donna brought some patterned tights yesterday(from all of people M&S), to go with her new shoes, the thing is, that it appears this year the trend in tights here in the UK is for either nude coloured tights or patterned?

Am I right in this belief?

Am I also right in that more women appear to by wearing tights instead of jeans and a like, or is it that I am just paying more attention to what women are wearing because of what Donna is wearing?

Good questions, sadly I don't have the answer to them, I did think that I could do a little experiment and say spot how many people are wearing brown shoes and see if I notice if I notice myself seeing more people with brown shoes on.

I shall carry out this little experiment for a while and let you know if there is a result one way or the other.

Shoes

Brought Donna some shoes yesterday, which are very nice and all that, does she like them, I suppose she must do as she did not take them off for quite some time yesterday even though they were brand new. They also make her taller which she always likes, she does have a pair that put her 6ft up ion the air, it's a strange experience having to look up into her eyes, when I normally just have to look straight ahead.

There is a phot of her shoes on Facebook.

Mediawiki joys

So I have started yet again to try and use mediawiki. Since the last time I looked at it, it has be come easier to install. One thing that has not changed is that it is still wide open to abuse from people you really don't want playing with you data.

So I have started to look into how to lock it down just a bit more.

Tights

Tights


Donna brought some tights from M&S last week, both are her size, one was shinny 15 denier and clear or taupe the other glossy 20 denier and nearly black, both fit her very well and make her legs look great, the only problem being, that the glossy tights look cheap and nasty, yet they cost more! how does that work, why?

Donna likes the shinny ones more for that reason, I wonder if the overall look is to do with how the tights are made to get the respective finish, who knows?

Wet then, so glad to see it in one way, only have to think just how hot Florida is.....

Where is L?

Someone did ask is L alive?

I have to say that we believe she is alive at least she was earlier in the year but things can change.

Perhaps we may find out something in the future who knows....

Colder

So it's even colder than yesterday what a surprise but it should not be as its the right time of year for it to be this cold.

Just for fun I looked up the temperature in Florida like you do and found it to be a barmy 30 centigrade.

It's just not fair.

Finding People

Just how do you find people and their phone numbers?

Where is L?

Will I ever find out what became of her and how her life has been?

who knows?

If I find out I will let you know here.

Well I have some how or other done an update to the Dirk Maggs website the strange thing is that when I went to check it it did not look any different than before I did the update

Dirk Maggs

I have just looked at the last time I updated the Dirk Maggs website and I notice its been more than a few months, sadly one of the reasons for no updates it that he has not done many radio shows, live shows yes, and very good they were to.

So the other reason is time, in that I have some free time but not enough to do a full updating job.

Perhaps I will have to leave it until December when I will have some free time.....

Colder

Its has got colder?

I ask this question as having just come back from Florida I think my body thinks its still 30+ centigrade!

I would like to thank British Airways and also Delta Airways for getting me and my luggage home safe and sound.

I would like to thank the pilot of BA flight 1567 from JFK to LHR on Thursday 6 Sept which took off from JFK at 8am local time for a really smooth landing at LHR it was great and left a lot of us very happy that there are still Pilots out-there who know how to land a plane real smooth as some of the other landings that I have experienced where less than smooth so thank you mister/ or Mrs BA pilot.

So home from holiday pleased to report have brought blue sky with us...

Gatorland UK

Just happened to have seen on the local BBC news a item on a Gator park here in Oxfordshire, so why did I have to travel 5000 miles to Florida? when I could have seen them here and this is the bit that also blew my mind they have more species of Gator in Oxford than in Florida, how does that work?

Holiday

So had a holiday in USA, all very nice and that but I don't like paying for it with Jet Lag......

Luggage where are you

It appears that my luggage has for reasons of its own decided that it wanted an extra day in New York, I wish it had told me before hand so that I did not waste a lot of time in T5 waiting for it.....

The Apocalypse Codex (Laundry Files #4)

This is book four and itsa worth the wait to find out how our hero survives again by the skin of his teeth.

I have read lots of reviews and I think a lot of them have forgotten that a book is supposed to entertain and that is what this book does, true our hero does change but then the world our hero is in also changes.

I have to agree with others that having read books 1 to 3 helps but its not needed this book does stand on its own.

If you have read books 1 to 3 I think its like having a really rich sauce on your meat when you read book 4.

I would love this to be an audio movie, I think Dirk Maggs would and has the skills to make these books into a 4 series 6 part 30 minutes episodes movie, sadly I don't yet have the money to pay for them to be made, I look to the lottery to make this dream of mine come true, I estimate that I will need some 10K per episode, yes, I am thinking that big in production terms.

Dream off........

This is my 1400th blog, not many in the big scheme of things but for me it an event, I am off to enjoy a cup of tea, and I shall have milk....

Podcasts

I wonder if the number of pod-casts listen to each day has dropped as they don't seem to make the news very much.

I suppose it goes without saying that the number of pod-casts being made must have also dropped and with podcast-fade alos present I suppose it must always mean that the number of new pod-casts is always going to be small and the number that say get to 20 episodes or so must also be small.

I wonder if the failure rate is different for what ever language you speak and where you are in the world?

Sunlight

I wonder if at this time of year the human body from my part of the world expects there to be lots of sunlight and blue skies?

Ideas

Just some ideas for the website or other places like a books or two.

Website on hot to make a largertita

Upload the DJ sets that I have produced and updated the music website to reflect the uploads.

Add chapters to the Garlic and the Citrus books

Upload the tracks for the music for audio movies project

Popular Pages

So its with some surprise that I found out that some how or other people out there in the world have read some of y posts. This has come as a bit of a surprise.

My most popular posts as of today are Cottage Pie and How to make a Largeritia

Yes Makes no sense to me.

For some thing better to do I will great a website with all the Largeria recipes I can find.

I wonder how many hits if any it will get?

Semantic wiki

So I have had some bad luck with my semantic wiki, in that while using the built in updater, complete with restore points it some how when installing an update to one of the extensions broke my wiki.

Luckily the amount of information lost is small as I am still getting to grips with the semantic markup.

The Hitchhiker's Guide Live Radio Show at the Woking Victoria a look back.

 The Hitchhiker's Guide Live Radio Show at the Woking Victoria 

Another view looking back from 2 weeks ago.

Was the show as good as I remember it?
Mostly is the honest answer to this questions. Part 1 was very good and was a lot of fun, the sound effects and the band where very good. The second part was I think in hindsight uneven, why it should be so I just don't know but that what I think.

I have seen some other reviews and there are several that mention the fact that the first part is stronger than the second, I suppose one of the problems Dirk had when writing this show was that most if not all the material is so very well known by most of the audience.

This then leads to a problem in what do you leave out?

Douglas Adams had lots and lots of ideas so there is plenty of material to choose from, do you go with a safe bet or do you chose something that will stretch all parties concerned eg the cast, the audience and the production team?

I like to think that Dirk went for let's be brave, and I think for the most part it works, the only trouble is the first part is just so good that you can not but help compare the second part with the first.

so then important question looking back at the show and also with hearing the recording is was I entertained? did Dirk do a good job?

The answer is yes to both questions.

Slow Posts

I have noticed that I am not doing as many blog posts as I did last year, I think this is due to the fact that I cant blog from my ipad as easy as I used to.

REVIEW: THE HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY RADIO SHOW LIVE! : WOKING

So I went last night (26.06.2012) to see The Hitchhiker's Guide Live Radio Show at the Woking Victoria and the question is, did I enjoy it?

The answer is that I did, the cast had fun, the drummer of the band was having fun and the audience also appeared to have fun. I think I have read somewhere that Dirk Maggs was asked what his plan was for the show and what did he want the audience to come away with, well if it was some 2 hours of entertainment with some great verbal and also visual comedy, then I have to say that he did it, and did it well.

Most of the audience got most if not all the jokes and everyone like what they saw and heard.

The great thing about a live show is that you can never know how that nights performance is going to go, and so it was with last nights, some of the mistakes were very funny and had not only other cast members and director laughing but the audiance as well, I think its great also that everyone was relaxed about any errors, if you could call bring the house down in fits of laughter an error, me I don't think so I think the errors were great.

Was it worth the money?

Yes

Would I go again?

No, Once seen why dilute something that is already great and never to be repeated exactly the same.

It makes me wonder just how good a live radio show of say comic book hero's would be?

part from the sad fact that getting permission would never happen or the costs would be so high so as to make it not worth doing I think that Dirk could do such a project, perhaps one day...

I am looking forward to being able to purchase a copy of last nights performance so that I can hear it again in the car and enjoy it all over again but in its original format.

If you can catch the tour before it ends please do so, its a treat for your ears.

I will when I get chance add some more stuff on the live tour to the Dirk Maggs website when I have the stuff I want to put on it.

Dirk Maggs Website

I have done a small update to the Dirk Maggs Productions website, mainly about the Hitchhikers Radio show Live! tour. as its a work by Dir but not a radio show it has been put in the other audio works for 2012.

as a side note to the above I shall be going to the Woking show, and I am looking forward to it.

HHGTG live show Woking

So the good news is that I am going to see the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy live in Woking next week on the Tuesday show.

It should be a great show and lots of fun as I can not see how Dirk Maggs could organise a live radio show any other way.

I shall report back on this event. It will be the first Dirk Maggs production I have seen or heard this year...

June

So here in the UK summer appears to have got stuck somewhere between March and April, I can not remember the weather being so bad at this time of year. Its cold dark and wet, in fact its more like November than June at least to me it is.

may be it will get better, as a Brit I am going to hope so.

Events from the past

You may remember from last year that I spoke about L on my blog and the things that she was up to.

Well I have just found out what has happened to her or at least someone is saying this is what happened, I don't know if it true or not that is for someone else to work out not me.

I am told that she has lost her job and that she is still out of work. That she now lives on her own in a caravan as she admitted that she was cheating on her husband. I don't know if this is true or not.

So if it's true then you really don't know just how good things are and the choices you make can have large changes to your life.

I can not check if what has happened to L is true as I have no way to contact her.

If true its sad that she has ruined her life for a bit of sex on the side.

Perhaps one day I will find out what happend.

Well blogger works but BlogPress does not, why is that?

The good news is that I have not lost any of my data, and all the hard work that went into making the sites in the first place.

I suppose when I have anything new I should update the sites.

Website

So after a bit of email here and there been new and old hosting companies my website www.dswilliams.co.uk is back up and working.

I am please that its finally all back on the internet, I suppose I will be lucky if I get 2 or 3 visits a day ....

Website Missing

Just discovered for reasons that I don't understand that my previous web host has not transferred something called a IPSTAG to my new hosting company, and that's nearly a year ago!

To say that I am not happy is an understatement, in fact I am not happy with both of the companies concerned, surly these days they can get their act together to transfer a domain from one host to another without me having to chase them.

Espacally as I don't have a clue as to what a ISPTAG is, and I really don't want to know I just want my domain transferred on the date I want it.

So I have now chased my old hosts who are in the USA for them to hand over the IPSTAG to my new hosts, I have a really bad feeling that this is something that is going to take time to sort out.

Meanwhile none of my websites work.

Not happy...

Not happy.....

Blogging changes

Not to sure if I like the new changes that google have made to the blogger website

Semantic website part whatever

As you know if you have been on my blog I did try some time ago to setup a semantic website on Dirk Maggs and all of his works, which as it happens is what one of my main websites is all about.

Now when I tried last time to set up the site I had some problems with the software that drives the whole thing, mainly getting it to work without it crashing on me.

I must say here that I am running all the software as a local server using xamp to drive the web server and MySQL as the database.

So after a few months I gave up as I was not getting anywhere with it.

So it's been some time so I have decided to have another go at a semantic website.

The good news is that I think I have found some good software in SMWplus which for individuals is free to use, but it does not come with any support, but there is a lot of information on the website, which I must admit I have used very heavily over the last few days.

The good news is that I am up and running. The bad news is that some of the extensions to the software tend to cripple the whole thing and I have had to reinstall on more than one occasion, but as I have learned this process has become an easy step to make and carry out.

No the snag that I have hit is this.

I have worked out how to mark up a page so that it has a category, that was easy, and how to make new category's.

I have learned how to do annotations on some of the items in a page.

So for instance I have done the following as an example

[[actor::dirk maggs]] this gives dirk Maggs the property of actor, I have done the same for him as a writer, director, producer and male.

I have added him to the category person.

I can search for male actors, and that works.

The problem I now have is how do I attach all the productions that he has done to him, and also to the other people who are involved in some way with the production?

I want to be able to do a search for say Shane Rimmer and see all the productions he has been in. Or do a search for all the productions made in 1990 that have 30 minute episodes.

I have as yet not worked out how to code this information.

Do I have to use category or properties? Or a mixture of both?

Maybe it's time to hit the manuals again, I have to get this to work as without it what's the point of having a semantic website?

If I can get the local copy to work then putting it on the Internet will be I suspect not as hard a task.

Gammon

Had our Easter gammon this evening and I have to say that it was great, cooked in cider and then roasted with brown sugar and mustard.

All I can say is very nice, and as a bonus it was a family meal.

Wheels day

Went to wheels day in Rushmoor Arena today, the weather was really great and it was nice to look at all the very differant cars that were on show. It was well worth the money.

There were several cars that if I had the money I would love to buy. One of them was an AC Cobra.

Even saw Tiff Nedell, luckily did not not interpret me viewing of the cars.
