Orbital covering the theme to Doctor Who at Glastonbury 2004. A little less than a year later we would get Murray Gold’s significantly more prosaic orchestral version for the reboot.

Maps – The Mid March 2023 Update
I’ve added 572 additional map images of Brecknockshire from the ‘Ordnance Survey Maps – Six-inch England and Wales, 1842-1952’ series to the mapping project.
Interesting places covered this update include:
Tours of Old York #2: The Streets of York, 1988 and Now
And, having found another old video of York on YouTube, it’s time for another Tour of Old York. Alas, the the YouTube video doesn’t seem to be embeddable on any old random website but – in better news – it does seem to be tagged with a permissive licence that allows me to rehost it here…

A fun little 43 seconds exploring the idea of Uber for Zombie-killing.

Jamie Zawinski’s notes on the early days of the Netscape/Mozilla Transition
Continue readingOn January 20th, 1998, Netscape laid off a lot of people. One of them would have been me, as my “department”, such as it was, had been eliminated, but I ended up mometarily moving from “clienteng” over to the “website” division. For about 48 hours I thought that I might end up writing a webmail product or something.
That, uh, didn’t happen.

Death By Chair
Possibly my favourite ever Doctor Who death – the man-eating chair from 1971’s Terror of the Autons. It’s great fun with 70s Doctor Who remaining true to it’s nature – spending almost 30 seconds on inflating a plastic chair – and, as always, Roger Delgado remains the consummate professional through out.
2001: A Space Odyssey – As directed by George Lucas
I’d have watched that.
