everything label sundances with the tv...

So I finally got round to uploading the pictures from our trip back to the UK a couple of months back - Hampton Court Palace, Harlech Castle, Portmeirion, Oxford, and various other picturesque places that you never go to if you _live_ in the country, for whatever reason, hah.

Got a chance to wander up to the VA Software (parent company of OSDN/Slashdot) offices earlier in the week and met up with mon ami Nate of Everything2 'fame' (he got the second E2 webhead back online when he was back in CA, so we can now learn about 'The Curse Of Colonel Sanders' with much swiftness!), and got a chance to say hi to Hemos too.

I've been helping add some more net.labels to the Internet Archive free-to-download audio collections, and we now have Enough Records and Kikapu up too, as well as 8 Bit Peoples, Kahvi Collective, and my own, shameless Monotonik. Bandwidth is still the major limiting factor, but we'll be doing lots more shouting about the collections when download speeds are a little better.

On the 'what media I have been consuming' front, I finally caved and got the Sundance Channel, so I'll try to comment on a few of the good indie movies/documentaries on there. In the meantime, I've been perversely digging the _very_ infrequent repeats of That's My Bush, which only ever had 8 episodes, but is as good/crazed as most of the stuff the South Park guys do, watching the Sci Fi Channel re-showing of excellent, gritty UK supernatural police drama, Ultraviolet, goofing on the ever-wacked Saturday morning MST3K repeats (go, 'Invasion Of The Neptune Men'!), plus playing a little Game + Watch Gallery on GBA and, well, actually doing nothing, occasionally. That's the most funnest.
