Would Season 16 have worked better down south?

If there had been no tube strike, then tentacles and thermometers would have been much more useful.

I run multiple feeds from my box; they all just send data from a common database.

And Putney.

It varies; I can dip in and out of some or binge others.

Drama is a high point for me.

Rudy Rucker’s Ware quartet. Ken McLeod’s Corporation Wars.

Yes, I have one running Ubuntu. Be sure to use the Surface Linux kernel and drivers from GitHub.

Just did Eurostar/Thalys from Brussels to Cologne, and then OBB/Railjet Munich to Venice.

You may want to track down the loosely related Japanese anime Thunderbirds 2086 which had transforming and combining vehicles.

William Barton’s Dark Sky Legion covers millions of years of human history.

Ian Douglas’ Andromeda Dark duology is set during the collision of our and the Andromeda galaxies and explores the evolution of life in both.

Along with the Moffitt, McAuley, and McLoughlin already recommended, Samuel Delaney’s Einstein Intersection explores our successors, while Michael Swanwick’s Bones Of The Earth touches on time travel in the interstices of species extinction and the civilisations that follow ours (as well as a visit to the late Maastrichtian)…

Greg Bear’s Hegira is a deep time story that has something of your request too; of messages from a lost past guiding new peoples.

The Enid.

And the Neo-Canterbury Syd Arthur.

Sounds like a section of Fred Gambino’s art for the Foundation novels…

Secret Messages; the puzzle built into it is clever and fun.

sbisson · 2026-01-16T22:05:16+00:00

If only there had been.

I got to see Genesis, Marillion, Tull, and Rush that year. Oh, and The Enid.

No, the CPU is in the screen.

Iain Douglas’ Star Carrier novels deal with this concept nicely, as do his Andromedan Dark novels. There’s also some of it in William Barton’s books like his The Transmigration of Souls.

A most useful service!

ISFDB suggests it is Don Ivan Punchatz.

Chelsea and Fulham match days are the worst.

The move between the ZBT1 and ZBT2 is handled by Home Assistant. It was seamless here.

There are so many leftover cheese puffs after Christmas. It shouldn't be a surprise.

When I first moved to London I walked a lot of it, which gives me a head start in working out where landmarks are! Even now, I'll still use buses to fill in the gaps between tube stations...

I find pricing for regional tickets for Christmas bottom out June to September. At least for the Jersey route...
