You philistine!

There was a period in my life when ECM jazz inspired me. Jarrett, Metheny, Pastorius… if you couldn’t whistle along to a…

We were running open source phpBB forums in a NZ/AU only context and as we gained popularity, more bots and trolls infested us daily. There really should be switches on every admin control panel offering:

In generic terms, geo-blocking works but is a hassle, while admin approval of new signups slows genuine users. There’s no easy answer except swatting them like flies as they pop up.… ]]> Thu, 30 Apr 2020 07:27:41 +1200 Simon Lyall https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/radiation-the-immortals/?p=383610#post383610 https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/radiation-the-immortals/?p=383610#post383610 Westworld is definitely crossing over with Person of Interest, another concept show.

Person of Interested was created by Jonathan Nolan and Westworld is co-created by him.

I thought Person of Interested worked quite well, it had the "of the Week" and the arcs were slowly introduced. Other concept shows dive…

I have been enjoying Devs, found Westworld a bit chaotic, and gave up on Altered Carbon after three episodes of season 1. I preferred to remember the book for that one.
Westworld's first season played the multiple timelines card to excess, and the third season seems to have…

Though that one in the end did deliver a satisfying ending (though after a lot of muddling around).

Devs started well, and I did like the slow and quiet vibe. But I found the avant-garde music stuff to…
