Wikipedia scandal

My opinion of the Wikipedia just went down a notch. From the BBC Article:

Using Sketchup with my Comics

I've been playing around with Sketchup, using it to create a background for my web comics. The illo below is a not yet completed model of the Phrygianum in Rome (a fiction version, that is, though it is based on Roman Villas):

And the following is a web page comic based on that (ok, so I hand drew it from what I saw on the monitor):

Well... ...it's a start.

 

A non-coping day

Today's been very frustrating.

I decided to dilate for the first time in three months this morning. Just got started and then Hallie turns up, jumping on the bed and me (she normally stays in Kevin's room with him in the mornings). Then she made a constant nuisance of herself looking for food and wanting to play. That's about normal, but Pegasus was off his food this morning and his stomach was making "I ate something I shouldn't have" noises. Lost my temper more than once and disciplined her severely (for me, at least).

Been attempting to edit the Modern Gallae page at Wikipedia, but with Hallie being up early that was extremely difficult to do.

It's been pouring down with rain, and not a good day to go shopping, but we had to as: we'd run out of toilet paper; Kevin had run out of tobacco; and we did need to do a decent amount of food shopping. Only, we missed the 3:40pm bus by 3 minutes, and Kevin's leg was playing up, and we got there too late for him to get a motorised chair. Also, he was fazing out on pain killers, mumbling, and generally vague. I had put off going to the toilet until the shopping was done and tempers were frayed in the final rush to catch the last bus home.

When we got back I had a phone meeting for the Apana Management Committee. I've lost faith in this. I spent four phone meetings saying (apart from initially connecting) nothing and no one noticed. It dragged on and on.

Just not coping today.

Star Trek Fan Videos

After posting about the Trek-UFO video, curi_oz_wolf pointed me to the New Voyages Website.

Hmmm, looks sorta interesting. Trekfans producing more Old Trek episodes. I haven't downloaded any yet, only the trailers, but after watching seasons 1 and 2 of Trek the other month, I can tell that look like the "real" trailers on the DVDs.

There's also a site called Hidden Frontier, and Star Trek Intrepid, which also seems to be advertising fan videos. Never heard of these before - must be leading a sheltered existence out here since NovaTrek folded.
