Not a problem - I hope this isn't causing you too much stress. No worries on this side, it's done when it's done!

@andreworton.bsky.social Antiques Roadshow last night featured a chair that had appeared in Dr.Who and Blake’s Seven but no-one could trace its origin. I knew straight away - it’s a Luigi Colani from 1970 (see brown chair at mid-left in pic). His work was featured in many 70’s sci-fi series.

My boy sent me this last night - he’s at ’The Royal Philharmonic plays Metal Gear’ at the Albert Hall, including video clips and some of the voice cast live.

I’m not jealous at all.

We were all so concerned with Global Warming we missed the onset of the current ICE age.

Alan Moore's run on Swamp Thing with Bissette and Totleben's art was mine.. Then Watchmen, of course. Then Mills / O'Neills Marshall Law, then lots more - my goodness, what a time for comics.

I've just installed Linux on a ThinkPad laptop and added some apps with the terminal.

This is hopefully the start of at least a little freedom from corporate tech.

Feels like I'm back on my 486, in a good way.

Looks like the scammers who were going this all on various Mastodon servers a month or two ago have found a new target: Bsky.

Ironically for me - that final update fixed a lot of crippling UI errors I'd had for a loooong time.

Sadly too little, too late.

Not watched the video but that middle image confused me - how can the light be bracketed by the window frame BEFORE going through it?? THEN I read the caption and, oh, 'lasers'. :)

RIP the legendary Drew Struzan (1947-2025) 😩

Even though we were expecting the news any day now, it makes me very sad. What an artist.

Mostly setups for '321 with Ted Rogers', and a series called 'Room at the Bottom' where I met the then relatively unknown Vas Blackwood. Countdown and Emmerdale had standing sets there IIRC. It was a very enlightening experience, though I really wanted to set up a VFX shop - which never happened. :(

Loved this thread, thanks for posting. I was at YTV Leeds for a time, mid 80's and remember there being 3 camera positions in Studio 4 with a studio audience rostrum on one wall. Each operator had their own camera script detailing which lines to cover and in what format (close-up, two shot etc).

I needed a palette cleanser today and this was it.

I started in this industry in the late '90's and for me this was the benchmark for some years after it's release.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.
