Vote for your favourite of these costumes. Use whatever criteria you please - most practical, most outrageously spacey, most of its decade!

Cover for the Doctor Who Past Doctor Adventure Palace of the Red Sun by Christopher Bulis. Picture of a domed palace with four pointy turrets. The silhouettes of two figures, one in a long dress and one in a shorter one walk down an avenue of upright trees to the palace. Everything is in oranges and yellows.

Another blank in my memory. The back makes it sound like there is an underlying quest style narrative which, as I recall, is common in Bulis' works.

The foundations of a long oblong stone brick roman building showing the pillars that once supported the hypocaust.

That's a reference to that FMV wizard game.

Skål!

I'm rewatching Les Vampires! I forgot how telenovela-esque it is lol. Still a good time. Mazamette keeps breaking the fourth wall, Musidora is perfect, Guérande gets tied up by Moréno and almost hanged and it's... interesting...

When it comes to Buster's shorts, done them all! Watching the ones I missed was a nice excuse to just rewatch them all. The Frozen North (my first time watching that one) sure was weird, but it was nice seeing that Sherlock Jr setup was always in his mind.

The award winning paper I mentioned next week, actually had a sequel. In The human factor: Addressing computing risks for critical national infrastructure towards 2040 we performed a similar exercise of asking a number of experts about risks to Critical National Infrastructure arising from computing developments and synthesising the results.

I am honestly, happier with this paper, I thought we had a better range of genuine expertise in the people we talked to, and a more focused area of consideration. We had a little trouble with the third referee, who thought our experts were wrong about Quantum Computing and that we should rewrite the paper so they gave the answer the referee thought was correct. Our experts did not think Quantum Computing was among the biggest risks to be considered in the next 15 years - but instead thought there were a number of issues relating to human factors (sophisticated phishing, difficulty tracing the cause of problems and poor incident response in complex situations).

The EU, which used to be really cool with internet privacy, wants to scan people's private messages in order to "protect the children". Of course, my country is pretty cool with it. I've done my part already, but if you're in the EU, send emails and call your MEPs. Remember the 1930s, we are doing it all over again.

tozka, this post by

dolorosa_12 about those pesky scam bots plaguing fanfiction websites infiltrating Dreamwidth.

Enjoy Die Brüder Schellenberg while it's on YouTube (the link is for a YT frontend, don't worry). It's the first time I've ever seen it freely available online. I liked it, but it's a flawed little thing. This version has some electronic music. Wenzel sucks.

The Philadelphia Story was indeed great, cracking dialogue. Dad joined in because he likes Jimmy Stewart. Ingmar Bergman's The Magician was great too. I'm having a better time with his films overall. "Primeiro estranha-se, depois entranha-se", what first seems strange becomes familiar and enjoyable (wouldn't call his films an "acquired taste", but you have to be in The Zone (TM) for them). TIL that idiom is actually a Coca Cola slogan by Fernando Pessoa. I can't escape that man.
