Must get out more.

Posted at 7:27 pm, Friday January 22, 2010 by rich

I was watching an episode of Chuck last night, and at one point Chuck walks into a room full of racks Dell servers with flashing orange lights on the front. My first thought was "they really ought to sort those servers out, they’ve probably only plugged one PSU in".

I really must get out more.

West Wing-fest is over for another year, 156 episodes in 33 days. It’ll be 30 Rock next, probably.

Time is an illusion, lunch time doubly so

Posted at 10:40 pm, Wednesday July 22, 2009 by rich

Tonight’s TV viewing was the entire The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy TV series. The first time I’ve seen it for years, it’s still as good as ever.

All good things come to an end

Posted at 5:14 pm, Sunday April 19, 2009 by rich

My two weeks off work is finally coming to an end, and to be honest I’ve enjoyed it so much I don’t really want to go back. However I’d soon run out of money if I just stayed at home all the time, so back to work I must go.

I’m also nearing the end of my two-week run through of Battlestar Galactica, it looks like it’ll be a good finale.

Red Dwarf: Back to Earth pt 3

Posted at 10:46 am, Monday April 13, 2009 by rich

4/10 again.

Somehow even more predictable than part 2, but not quite as bad. Did anyone not guess the ending within about 15 minutes of the start of part 1?

4/10, unoriginal crap.

Subsequently downgraded to 2/10.

The return of Red Dwarf

Posted at 7:41 pm, Friday April 10, 2009 by rich

Red Dwarf returns to our screens tonight almost 10 years to the day since the last episode aired, and just over 21 years since it first hit our screens. It’ll be interesting to see if it’s as good as it was in its prime. I’ll pause my Battlestar Galactica viewing for the evening so I can watch Red Dwarf, since buying the box set last Monday I’ve worked through the mini series, and all of seasons one and two, which seems as good a place as any to stop for a short while.

Sunday brings this year’s Paris-Roubaix, complete with 3.5 hours of coverage on Eurosport. Road to Roubaix and A Sunday in Hell have been watched in preparation, and 24 Solo also made an appearance as I found it while looking for the other DVDs and fancied watching it again.

End of a long Trek

Posted at 5:00 pm, Monday April 6, 2009 by rich

After three and a bit months months, I’ve finished working my way through all 176 (or 178 depending on how you count) Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes.

I’ve started on Star Trek: Deep Space 9, although that’ll probably take a back seat as I came back from town earlier with a Battlestar Galactica box set. I’ve just finished watching the mini series, and have now on season 1.
