 Raumpatrouille, the Movie. On the Trailer website are a lot of new MP3s to listen to. Dialogues are German, but the music is here to stay; check out "Title 31 - Invasion"(7.1MB, MP3). The startup sequence (2.3 MB. MP3) isn't bad either. This is fun.Update. Interviews with the actors (Dietmar; Eva!) and Peter Thomas, the best (Film) composer ever; he's ranging shortly after Beethoven. Also: Götz Weidner and Werner Hierl, the guys responsible for the SFX. Back in 1966; and I still like them. The SFX of course. Not necessarily Götz and Werner. The spaceship still looks funny. They really should have used my version of the Orion VIII. Thanks, Marc. I have to link your BASIS 104 now ... Done! Oh, and their 'Links' page is now working. They're never going to mention me though, thanks to the (almost) lawsuit. Buggers. I know! My RSS Feed is going bonkers. Sorry about that. But this is important. I'll stop now, ok?

 Feet. People keep asking me whether Bishops actually have feet, they seem to be hovering above the ground. Well, I don't know; their feet are covered by the black robe they're wearing, so I have no idea. But I managed to get a snapshot of a Bishop getting caught in something smelly & nasty, and I believe I can see a foot there. Hidden under a black robe.

"The BBC will present fresh details about how the Iraqi weapons dossier was allegedly "sexed up'' by Downing Street and accuse Alastair Campbell of giving "inaccurate'' evidence to the official inquiry into the affair." Publication of the claims, in the next 48 hours, will reignite the unprecedented row just as the Blair Government appears keen to damp it down. According to senior sources, the corporation has decided at the highest level not to give in to the relentless pressure from the Government."

 The Night of Lead. How strange. Here we have one of the most important expressionist German authors of the 20th Century, and then there are basically no German websites about him? Typical. Here is a short English page about Hans Henny Jahnn; a French one here; and finally, a German page, where the author writes in the first line of his text that Jahnn was 'bisexual'. Now that is important. Good grief. "The Night of Lead , published in 1962, shows Jahnn at his darkest: man is portrayed as the toy of supernatural powers, where his only certainty is a bodily existence which, in turn, is blindly bound to the laws of growth, death and decay and procreation [~] the major themes of Jahnn's writing."

 Hal Croves. Ret Marut. B. Traven. Little is known about the author and anarchist who wrote 'The Death Ship' and 'The Treasure of the Sierra Madre'. Was he an American? A German? Who in fact was he? Anyway, he was a writer. And a good one too.More here and here. "B. Traven is one of the most mysterious figures in the 20th-century literature. His exact identity is still subject to much doubt. Although Traven claimed to be an American, his most important works were first published in Germany during the 1920s and 1930s, before some of them appeared in translation in England. Nothing definitive is known about Traven's origin. However, Traven's novels have been translated into more than 30 languages, sold more than 25 million copies, and they are required reading in Mexican schools."

 Dry Bones. I've blogged The Prisoner before, but that doesn't matter, because I found some new links and it still is the best TV series next to Raumpatrouille. Anyway - here is The Prisoner at Retroweb; and a better Fanpage is here."Dedicated to Patrick McGoohan's cult TV series "The Prisoner", this site offers an extensive range of information, graphics, original artwork and music, plus information and graphics on Patrick McGoohan's other TV hit "Danger Man" ("Secret Agent" in the USA)." And if you think you can download the amazing version of 'Dry Bones', in the last episode performed by The Four Lads , which is now unavailable anywhere, you are mistaken. Not even for 24 hours. And it's the best version of 'Dry Bones' ever.

 Dear Programmers. Software Developers. Hard code specialists. RadioGods.Is it not possible to develop a weblog software where you set up a certain template in, let's say, Photoshop (or any other imaging software), import that into your blogging software, get a free space for your entries assigned and - off you go? You can then upload it to any ftp server you like. And you can easily add navigator bars, blogrolls, links and whatnot somewhere in the template. And of course, everything with an WYSIWYG editor. Now is this really so difficult? Why do I have to cope with buggy software? Why with xml and html and opml and rss feeds? For God's sake, this is 2003 and not 1979! Guess I'll have to practice more on the LM computer simulator.

 Brrrr. I've got an archive now. Great. But I'm still not happy about the typography in the NavBar. I've tidied it up a bit, ok, but still - I don't like it. The paragraphs are terrible. I've got to learn proper HTML and XML. Maybe next weekend. Got other stuff to do than this. Frustrated.I'm now absolutely fed up with Radio UserLand "a hrefuckoff, if you want to go their webpage, click on the bloody coffee mug in the top left corner!". I'm fed up with this! There surely must be an easier and less buggy way to publish a weblog? For God's sake, I'm a designer, not a programmer!

 Let's start this lovely day with a quick one from my sketchbooks.And a question to all of the UserLand RadioGods out there: How do I get proper paragraphs (or, even better: Divider Rules) between the items in my Navbar on the right? Between the link "Orion pictures" and the title "Blog reading" for example? Any ideas? So far I've tried paragraph tags, break tags and even 'empty' lines with no text in them. Nothing seems to work. Update: Found it! On The Shifted Librarian's site: here. All I had to do was to insert an
<item name="<hr>" pagename=""/>. So if you ever need to edit the Navigator links, look no further.

"Jose Guadalupe Posada's work is internationally recognized today. Yet, in his own time he was considered a mere artisan, a commercial illustrator producing images on short deadlines for the penny press. After his death in 1913, he was largely forgotten (though his work continued to appear from time to time in the popular press whenever a publisher found it convenient to reuse his printing blocks). His work was rediscovered a decade later by Jean Charlot and the artists of the Mexican Renaissance, who recognized a predecessor in Posada and acknowledged him as "the artist of the Mexican people."

 Aspen. The multimedia magazine in a box. Aspen magazine was published by Phyllis Johnson from 1965 to 1971. Each issue came in a customized box filled with booklets, phonograph recordings, posters, postcards - one issue even included a spool of Super-8 movie film. Artists included JG Ballard, Peter Blake, John Cage, Ira Cohen, Philip Glass, David Hockney, John Lennon, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol... And here it is reborn as a web version, with the recordings as MP3 files, the movies as Quicktime movies, a full documentary and lots of other stuff. Enjoy. It's ... FAB.

 Frxcksz! Have to ring Apple again. The new CRT - there are some bright 'spots' in the upper part of the screen. Pinholes. Distracting stuff which I can't get rid of. Seems to be 'burnt in' into the tube itself - strange. It's really annoying when doing work in Photoshop. No- it's even annoying once you've realised there's something annoying on your screen... spots, bright spots. Like scratchmarks? I think I'll get a G5. Or no, a Dell, just to annoy Apple. How annoying. Am I getting an award now for using the verb 'to annoy' at least 54876 times? No? How annoying.

 Orion X. You know Roland Emmerich, don't you? He's the director of Independence Day (which is about to be celebrated in the USofA soon!) and Godzilla. And several other famous movies. He's German. And (most probably because of that) we have something in common: Raumpatrouille, still the best SF TV series around. Roland was working on a remake of the old series, together with the German TV channel PRO7 (Their website is crap, don't go there). That was in the late 90s. And it never happened, because of the costs involved. Shame. Well, I managed to get hold of the script of the pilot. It's great, and you can't download it right here as a PDF. It's a very dark and almost cynical version of the original first episode, 'Angriff aus dem All' (Attack from Outer Space) and it's written by Terry Black. Terry: Good work! I'll keep it on the server for about 2 days, and then it'll be gone. After all, the copyright is with Emmerich/Black/Pro7/Bavaria and whatnot. Enjoy it while you can. An interview with Terry was published on a website which I can't find anymore (Google sucks anyway, what the heck has happened there?), so the raw text is here in it's entirety and archived forever: SAVING THE WORLD BY MONDAY by Terry Black "Good news," says Anne, my agent, in a tone of immense relief. "Treehouse is giving you a third meeting." It's good news indeed. Among free-lance writers, the third meeting is a cherished goal, a sort of Holy Grail - because according to Writer's Guild rules, if they bring you in for a third meeting on a project they have to hire you. For good reason. So much time is spent on those Gadfly pitch meetings, so much effort with no promise of return, that if they bring you in not once, not twice, but three times then they'd damn well better pay you for it. As a veteran of numerous meetings numbering two or less, I'm overjoyed. Treehouse Films is producing the new series Orion, based on the German classic Space Patrol that ran for only seven episodes but became a staple of European broadcasting. (One of my students reports seeing it in England in 1986.) Among its German fans are producers Oliver Eberle and Roland Emmerich, who want to do a revamped update with high-tech special effects. Roland's involvement is great news, because he's co-writer and director of the sure-fire summer smash, Independence Day. Last time, I pitched half a dozen story ideas and got a favorable response to four. This time, Oliver wants to talk about the direction of the series, how to make the aliens scary, and what elements of the original Space Patrol will still play in the nineties. They're planning thirteen episodes, with more to come if the ratings are sufficient. "We've got all thirteen assigned," he says. I'm crestfallen until he adds, "And two of them are yours." Ah, sweet mystery of life... The two they like are Storm Center, where the Orion and an alien ship are grounded on the same backwater planetoid; and Second Guess, where young Officer Zed develops the psychic ability to predict not the future, but its exact opposite. The alien story will need reworking because they've hired a consultant to "design" the aliens - their diet, physiology and mating habits - and the update makes most of my story obsolete. Not that I'm complaining. Shay Roberts' The Secret Life of Frogs describes the deadliest alien menace since Michael Rennie's robot came THAT close to frying the planet in The Day the Earth Stood Still. The alien encounters will play like horror scenes; no cuddly Ewoks here. The bad news is that the series is on hold until they've got a shootable pilot script. The first draft has a clever plot but the characters and dialogue are a little stale, and Treehouse wants a rewrite. The good news is that I'm up for the job. It's a big deal, because a series won't work without a compelling pilot. It's the first glimpse the viewers have of your show; done badly, it'll be the last glimpse. Episode Two can be an aesthetic triumph, but nobody will care if the first one sucks egg yolks. Show of hands: how many people saw the second episode of Cop Rock? What the pilot needs most, I argue, is to establish each of the characters clearly. It doesn't matter that we're in outer space, ten centuries from now - whether it's about cops or cowboys, dynasties or dinosaurs, the only reason viewers will tune in again next week is if they care about the starring leads. The Honeymooners was made with minuscule production values (at least, by modern standards), but Ralph and Alice were so vivid they became cultural icons. On the other hand, the first episode of Battlestar Galactica had a feature-film budget (it was actually shown in theatres), but the characters were so forgettable that I can't name them. The plot in Orion's pilot script is fine. Mostly. Well, there's an odd bit in the third act where Commander McLane is captured by aliens and then shows up later without a word of explanation, but any writer worth his mouse pad can rattle off a dozen escape devices (he slips the ropes, picks the lock, crawls through the air vent, plays dead until the dumb guard comes to investigate, etc.) without breaking a sweat. A tougher question is, what can McLane do that not only serves the story but reveals his character? What can all of them do? Because the pilot should give every cast member a moment in the footlights, a word of introduction to the folks at home, or it hasn't done its job. So that's how I pitch the pilot. I downplay the story and instead go through the characters, suggesting ways to make each and every one of them memorable and unique. When I'm done, they seem impressed. This is Thursday. I'm sweating bullets all weekend long, until on Monday it's all I can do not to call up the agency and gasp, "Well...?" I figure if they knew anything, they'd tell me, and I don't want to seem desperate - even though I am desperate. Finally, around 5:00 PM, I can bear it no longer. I call the agency and Anne comes on, sounding a little breathless. "I can't talk now," she explains, "because Treehouse is on the other line, negotiating your contract. You got the pilot." Just like that. And that's the story of why I'm no longer unemployed. The script was rewritten in about two weeks, and submitted last Monday. Tomorrow I get notes on rewriting the rewrite. They seem delighted by what I've done so far. My working title is Baptism By Fire, which describes not only the story but the process of creating it. Keep watching the skies, boys and girls. The adventure's just begun.

"Recent cataloguing work has turned up a new discovery of engravings and etchings by William Hogarth (1697-1764). The collection appears to have belonged to the Manchester collector John Legh Philips, whose library and collection of prints and paintings was sold after his death in 1814. The collection is contained in a large scrapbook measuring 63 x 47 cm. A total of 190 prints have been pasted onto both sides of fifty leaves on paper which has now become acidic and brittle. The prints themselves have been cut down, but in most cases without affecting the impression of the plates."
