Another classic:

Great, thanks! Omnivore looks interesting 🙂

Not entirely sure how much stuff I’ve got saved. Sadly, the old Google Reader archive was lost some time ago when that HDD died and I didn’t back it up first (really should have). Got other bits and pieces lying around, as well.

Yeah, I always like to manually save the links when I can instead of…[Read more]

Yep! They had various multi-part episodes and they’d have ongoing storylines across a season. The early seasons were mostly self contained episodes, though

I think I may have that issue in a box somewhere! I distinctly remember it 😀

Yep! Luke’s plan never did make sense! What was he thinking? 😛

Got the e-reader back up and running! Still…[Read more]

Neither do they focus on Ley Lines, Te lapa, Fairy Circles, creepypasta, or things that go bump in the night!

Yeah, the 45 minute episode formula, even the original X-Files was no more than a bunch of lightly serialised single episode stories – ever come across anything that spanned more than one episode?

We did mention Starwars – so came across…[Read more]

They also sometimes send takedown notices for YouTube videos. There have recently been attempts to make Ocarina of Time in Unreal Engine and I keep expecting Nintendo to shut it down.

Nintendo is also investigating the Paleworld assets for plagiarism as they feel it may be a bit too similar to Pokemon for their liking. Some of the models do look…[Read more]

Ooh, missed that, or misread it. Or they have changed the wording- here’s plenty of mods for Palworld just loaded up today. A couple for yesterday though. 🙂
Yep, because Nintendo never chose to make their content available cross-platform, it’s sour grapes when someone else “does it.” 😛

Shallow Grave was a fun one. Acting was hilariously bad, which gave it a certain charm. It also focused on the two dudes just driving around a lot even though they played no role in the film 😛

Yep, Dodgeball was fun!

Going to plan to see Night of the Lepus soon. Should be fun! 😀

Not in the games but in the other media it has. Originally, Mewtwo was a clone of Mew by Giovani’s scientists, aiming to create the ultimate Pokemon. Mewtwo got pissed at the experiments it was subjected to so it broke out, and destroyed, the lab. In Red, Blue, and Yellow you can actually explore what’s left of the lab (not much). As a result,…[Read more]

Is it possible for the captive Mewtwo to escape? It seems that once he was used by Giovanni, so he is one to watch as well!
Nexus won’t host content for Palworld. The level of hubbub in controversy is sacling up, there’s the question of ripoff, do you think that’s fair?

The Children Act is a classy piece bringing to sharp relief the folly of adhering to rules of religion, and, spoiler alert, it has a rather depressing outcome.
OTOH, the opposite effect tonight after the screening of Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, a cracking cast and script (highlights).

The extra…[Read more]

Might be best to consider open source alternatives like Omnivore or Wallabag where there’s a facility to port data over. How big is your database? Some cross platform rtf files can have a tendency to bloat – is it possible to convert them to something else?
Not quite the same thing though – certain sites which provide personal favourite sections -…[Read more]

I need a new way to keep track of articles that are of interest. I had been using Pocket but they made some changes under the hood so it’s now extremely slow on mobile (sometimes it takes over ten minutes to launch if it does at all). Any ideas? Been saving things as bookmarks but that quickly gets out of hand. 😛

Still need to sift through them…[Read more]

Twice Dead was a fun one, if a tad slow. Usual horror plot holes but the acting was surprisingly good!

Yeah, I skipped Year One as it looked a bit silly 😛

Ooh, Donovan’s Brain looks right up my alley. Really do like those types of films. Speaking of, I still need to rewatch the Brain that Wouldn’t Die. That was a fun one!

Yeah, we can add the…[Read more]

if we moved posts back to the beginning of the forums era, it would be like having Windows 98 books on the shelf.

I strongly disagree! Even old content like that can be useful. Often, Microsoft removes documentation for features that still exist but not used very much. Also, there are a lot of features they don’t document at all. It’s also…[Read more]

Checked the IA for the time, no dice – even posted the links to them, the only response was from our ever present friend Mr. Nokandu.
At first spec FindMyPast has quite a few nice features albeit somewhat intrusive, did a search for a name on their site while logged on, and promptly in came an email entitled ” We’ve discovered something just for…[Read more]

🙁 The Internet Archive may have some of them!

Yeah, old records like that are generally free if digitized. If not digitized yet, there’s usually a very small fee for tracking them down (small as in 5 USD or about 1 GBP) with the alternative being to go to the Hall of Records. I do wonder if I can track down some of my ancestors. Some of them did…[Read more]

Remember well the Ripping Yarns a hoot when they were first released:



Another dose of Portlandia for good…[Read more]

The forums migration at CPanel still burns hot in some memories, the post formats were not carried through in every case, and a few posts that were made around the time of migration were lost forever!
Signing up with FindMyPast probably won’t help as much as desired, even with a subscription. Their free services include:

1881 England, Wales &…

The series currently screamed is Bang!, comes with a slow burning drag on for a bit too long kind of vibe, watchable though. There is a bug in the streaming channel where the option for (English) subscripts doesn’t work if there is multilingual content, fortunately there is not a lot of (English) mumbling so we are good.
The critics were rather…[Read more]

And the Mouse on the Shelf could also be useful!

Their website is still using old share links? Cool! They don’t go searching for Bigfoot. Pretty sure that’s the realm of cryptozoologists, though 😛

Kind of surprised the organization wasn’t featured in The X-Files. If it was, I missed it. Probably should watch the series again, anyhow. 🙂 Didn’t…[Read more]
