It's NOT all about the benjamins!
Or why would David Letterman decide to stay with CBS when ABC was offering him huge piles of cash ?

Glad to see he's finally decided to settle down....

A Little Brimstone On A Monday Evening...
Why do I watch television sometimes ? Hard to tell.

Today's treat was the second half of the SciFi Channel's remake of the Steven King novel turned into a movie. Can't comment on the original Drew Barrymore version. It's been too long since I saw it.

It wasn't bad as SciFi channel productions go. The four hour running time gave them more time to develop the characters and plot.They picked a decent actress to play the title role who manages to look good while the special effects folks are throwing around lots of flamable liquids (Hopefully it was CGI and not real).

It's another one of those conspiracy movies where the good guys have to run for their lives because no one can help them.

They even have a contest going on for it. Too bad you can't enter all of the information required by the rules into their little form.


It says you need to enter:

All entries must contain the following information:

a) Entrant's name;
b) Entrant's date of birth;
c) Entrant's address;
d) Entrant's daytime telephone number; and
e) Entrant's email address.

which is pointless since you can't enter a phone number or date of birth and their entry form craters if you don't enter a SciFi.com membership username & password, neither of which the rules say are required.

Oops....

It's the bandwidth stupid !
One of those evenings. I'm stuck with a "56K" modem line to my ISP. And my ISP only allows 1 connection per login (Other than that they are really good to deal with). So if I'm doing something with one computer that requires the Internet I can't connect the other one. So while one computer downloads a large file I can't post this ....

No broadband or any other higher bandwidth connections to the outside world available out here in the NH wilderness.

Note: I'm not really in the wilderness but being 5 miles outside the nearest town I might as well be.

Grumble.
