On Friday morning I signed up for the online version of the Gone Fishing seminar. An hour or so later, I got an email from Chris Jones asking if I was coming to the follow up seminar at Ealing Studios the next day. I declined at first because Saturday already involved other plans but a [...]

I’m confused – who owns my data?
Just a quick one.
The recent furore regarding Facebook’s ever changing TOS and whether or not they own data you upload to that site coupled with shocked outcry about the story regarding last.fm’s alleged handing over of user listening data to RIAA has got me thinking. All this happened in the same week as much publicised [...]
Home Invasion
I engaged in a rather bizarre double bill back in December – bizarre not only because of the astronomical difference in quality of the two films in question but also because I saw them on different days. Well, alright, it wasn’t a proper double bill but whatever. The point was that I watched two films [...]
You wait – time passes
August has been a slow blogging month. Not sure why – as usual I’ve got a lot of nothing in particular to be verbose about. It’s more of a “can’t be arsed” phase. My Blog Reading has also fallen victim to that. So, dear diary, what have I been doing? Well, I have been…

Weathergirls and wankers
So I’m watching tonight’s installment of The Apprentice and more so than any other episode I’m extremely fucking irritated and frustrated at the total incompetence and fucking fuckwittery of the contestants. Except for Lucinda who is right about everything for a change. Why? Because it’s all about film-making and advertising. Now [...]
Tapas
My wife, her obviously visible pregnant bump and I went for a lovely meal at a local tapas restaurant last night. While the patatas bravas probably lacked that spicy kick you’d get in a bar run by a genuine Mardrileño, it was flavoursome and congenial enough that I’d want to go back. The [...]
