will be working on a masters presentation at home today

presentat completed

Now I just have to present it later today. Catching the 2:05pm bus to Wallsend and then uni, for this week's seminar that starts at 4pm at uni.

If I have any energy left when I get home (just before 8pm), I might even work on a web comic.

Successful Day

Got my presentation done, and though it bored one other post-grad (who'd seen the first half of it two years ago) I went quite well. Moreover, the process of putting this together has clarified what the whole work is really about and the (more or less) topic of my Research paper. Below is the opening slide:

Make of that as you will!. I I must do now, or very soon, is a summary of the presentation, to keep this clear. Tonight's too late (didn't get home until 7:15pm), but tomorrow morning, yes.

TV rotation

The changing of the guard happened. I'm now watching Samurai 7 for breakfast and Eureka for lunch / dinner. Samurai 7 is an anime take on Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, but updated in an SF / outer-space setting. Sounds terrible doesn't it? A couple of episodes in though, and I'm enjoying it. There's a simple but good story here and one that will probably be remade (as per The Magnificent Seven and Battle Beyond the Stars)  again. Eureka is sort of Noerthen Exposure meets X-Files, and I saw part of the 4th season on TV last year, but now I have the first two seasons as well. I love the mad science element!

So, I watched Farscape from start to end, and thoroughly enjoyed it. One mystery remains however - I have a clear memory of an episode where a large version of Jool and cohorts are on a planet with Rygel fighting a battle, and later  what looked like Zhan giving up her life force to save both Eryn and Crighton. But - all the characters looked slightly different - and it wasn't in the series!

So what was that? Stargate SG-1 did an episode called "200" where (along with Trek and the Wizard of Oz) they parody Farscape, but it was a 30 second clip, and I remember this being a full episode (but may be mistaken). .Anyone know anything about that?

get the detail right!
