Catching up with the Time Lords

Recently was quite fortunate to get access to some Doctor Who (the official BBC site, and public-contributed information on Wikipedia) videos – all episodes of the Ninth Doctor as played by Christopher Eccleston as a matter of fact. After an absence of more than 15 years, interrupted only by presence of the 1996 telefilm, Doctor Who finally made a return to the air waves in 2005 in its ninth incarnation. I may add, after all these years, the Doctor has not really lost his charm on me!

For those who are unfamiliar with the BBC TV series Doctor Who, it “is in fact the longest-running science fiction television series in the history of broadcasting, a series that began on the BBC1 network in the United Kingdom in November 1963 and ran until 1989.”, according to Outpost Gallifrey which is seemingly the most comprehensive site on Doctor Who at the moment. It was eventually returned to TV in early 2005 for all new adventures.

Digital archiving

Following the recent upgrade of all my blogs to :wp: 2.1, I felt it was also time to have a face lift. However, if I simply replaced each site with a new theme, it seems a shame that all the effort that went into the customisations of each theme would be wasted, no?

This is how :myhistoryurl:As They Were was born! Here I will keep copies (but not the content, of course) of the :wp: sites I have set up.

Upgrading Mac OS X

Recently, I was helping someone to upgrade her Mac – not that I am an expert by the way, but simply because I have been using a Powerbook (yes, the obsolete machines… 🙁 ) for the past year and have taken more interest in Macs consequently. The following are some resources I found, which hopefully can help others from getting lost in the updating/upgrading maze.

YouTube top 10, kind of

Unless you have been hiding in a cave for the last couple of years, YouTube should not be a foreign name to those of us familiar with the internet. Well, here is a “top-10” list for 2006 of some of the wonderful talents on display.
