Every Thursday, Watching Telly

Print


Happy Red Dwarf Day!

Tonight's the night of Red Dwarf : The Promised Land

It'll be on Dave at 9pm, and more than likely on catchup thereafter.
There's a DVD incoming, too, so you just know that'll be on pre-order, ASAP...
Gotta keep that collection going!

The movie length special has a 2 hour time slot, tonight, though what percentage of that will be adverts is unknown.
If you want to view live, but not on your telly, then you'll be surprised to find that the UKTV app will inexplicably not do it, but their website will. Go figure..

And if you're not a Dwarfer, you might enjoy the fact that Kim's Convenience - Season 4 has recently been added to Netflix.

Oh, and the Sonic movie is also due out, tomorrow, I think..

And Curb your Enthusiasm Season 10 is also available on iTunes.

Stay in, Watch telly, Stay Safe..
It's about all we can do.

And thanks to all those who aren't, and are still out there, keeping the country as healthy as they can.

Thanks Rockford!! *distant ascii hugs*

; XOR Encryptor

Dan plays around with using XOR method to encrypt data.
It allows for some really basic forms of encryption. But isn't recommended for, for example, storing your credit card details in a way that "nobody will ever know!!"
Maybe just encrypt what's on your collection of pirated cassette tapes?
Use with caution, but if you're just playing around with data, then that's ok!

; Pokitto PunkJam

Spinal lets us know of a competition/Jam going on, for the little Pokitto devices.
You can code anything (game/demo/whatever), and use the word "punk" in any fashion you'd like. (70s Punk, CyberPunk, etc)
No purchase/Pokitto necessary, and free to join.

; Prelim

This week's word of the week is Prelim, as in Preliminary, as in "the thing before the main thing"
I've been trying, since Sunday Night, to come up with a picture to illustrate this word, but I'm all a blank.

Maybe my head isn't in an imaginative mood, this week.
I wouldn't blame it..

If you can think of anything creative that you can do with the word, be sure to pop it in the thread.

; CoronaVirus

In a crazy week, CoronaVirus is doing some serious damage around the world.
Over in the US, Donald Trump is the absolute worst person who could possibly be in charge, and seems to be more obsessed with his viewing figures than the fact that the entire country desperately needs medical assistance.
...without bills attached.

Meanwhile, in the UK, the Queen made a rare "none-Christmas" television broadcast, and the Prime Minister is currently in Intensive Care with a bad dose of the virus.

Fuxake..

; RIP Thread

The increase in Celebrity Death threads (5 this week? Fuck..) has required things to become a little more contained than usual, inside a single RIP thread.
But this isn't a flat-out rule.

If you think an RIP post is worthy of being its own thread, if the celebrity meant a whole lot to you, or you have a special story to tell about them, then please do feel free to make a special thread dedicated to them.

I know this is a painful subject for us all, so don't ever think that I'm "pushing my ideals" or anything like that.
I'm just trying my best not to fill the sidebar with a horrifying wall of RIP posts... because. Damn.. that would be depressing as fuck.

; RFO Basic

I have no idea if this is any good, but a commenter mentioned it on my blog last week, and I thought it might be interesting for others to play with.
RFO Basic runs on Android, and you can code things directly on your device.
It also has a method to compile to .apk form, too.
If you decide to give it a whirl, let us know how you get on.

Steve and Blanko both had their birthdays on the same day, just like they do every year!!
Happy birthday to them both.

; Cheep!

Steve also added another member to his growing family.
I really do hope he got his light fixtures sorted!!
