Pope Trek

Wednesday, April 20th, 2005

A post on the *Star Trek Enterprise* BBS: The new Pope’s first official statement contains a call for Viacom to produce a 5th season of “Star Trek Enterprise” and describes “Star Trek” as “a beacon of hope throughout the world. Legion are the stories of youth receiving their first moral and vocational instruction from the […]

Feed Your Inner Fanboy

Tuesday, April 19th, 2005

Monday got away from me, so the post about *Hard Time: Season 2* will have to wait a day or so while I catch up on work. Meantime, allow me to plug a project with which I have no association at all, except as a reader. If you’re a fan of Golden or Silver Age […]

I’m testing a new anti-comment spam plugin that doesn’t require entering a security code. If it works, this will make things easier for everybody.

Most of those stories have […]

Long Day’s Journey into Ambien

Saturday, April 16th, 2005

It’s late. I’m tired. It’s the weekend. Will that handle it, or do I need additional excuses? If so, that’s okay. I’m a freelancer. I’ll have a batch for you by end of business.

Hard Time: Season 2 – A Few Quick Notes

Friday, April 15th, 2005

Some days you go with the flow, some days the flow eats you. Or something like that. Thursday was an “eats you” day. I won’t dwell on it. As promised, some information on *Hard Time: Season 2*: First of all, yes, there definitely will be a Season 2. *Hard Time* is the lone survivor of […]

Time…

Thursday, April 14th, 2005

It’s short tonight. So let me use this entry to thank everyone for their comments on this effort. They’ve been very informative and entertaining. (More so than the blog, if you ask me.) And it’s been great fun to read posts from people I haven’t heard from in years. Guess this Internet thingy still has […]

Correction: The Kaypro 10 computer was equipped with 64K of memory (not 16), the maximum amount the CP/M operating system could address. CP/M was quickly supplanted as the favored operating system for personal computers by MS-DOS, because DOS could access as much as 640K.
