23.08.2008 Science Confliction…

Good Times!

The SCI-FI channel have announced that there will be a new Stargate series starting in 2009. Entitled Stargate Universe. The show will begin production early next year, and premiere in the summer with a 2 hour movie.

This is how the SCI-FI channel describe the show…

After unlocking the mystery of the Stargate’s ninth chevron, a team of explorers travels to an unmanned starship called the Destiny, launched by The Ancients at the height of their civilization as a grand experiment set in motion, but never completed. 

What starts as a simple reconnaissance turns into a never ending mission, as the Stargate Universe crew discovers the ship is unable to return to Earth, and they must now fend for themselves aboard the Destiny.

Unfortunately, this comes hot on the heals of the news that SCIFI are canceling Stargate Atlantis! Following a 2 hour TV movie  in 2009 following the conclusion of series 5. 

Bad Times!

That said, I wasn’t the biggest fan of Stargate Atlantis – it had it’s good moments, but I just never really bonded with the characters in the way I did with the SG1 crew. That said, this announcement has spurred me on to get back in the saddle as it where and catch up with the backlog of Atlantis episodes I’ve missed, that is, once I’ve finished working my way through all ten box sets of SG1 !

05.08.2008 On the move

Finally, I’ve been able to hey blog working with the wodpress app for iPhone which is good. The bad news is I’ve had to change hosts to do it.

I’m now hosting with MediaTemple in the USA as my previous host had an annoying restriction on the use of XMLRPC for security purposes.

I actually bought my (mt) VPS for another project, but that’s a couple of months from launch so rather than pay for nothing, I may as well host my blog on it for a while!

Will probably move wifey too at some point…
