Spam and things

I had to clear out the 285 spam comments that have come through to this site.  Less dirty stuff, and the words they use I don’t want to understand, more torrents and plenty of drugs touted.  Some of it was almost relevant but I put that down to chance.

Getting a nettop to continue the building of the story site.  A fine plan, I think, as the carbon footprint should be smaller.  As is the machine.

Considering whether to go and see the Road and/or Book of Eli.  The Road is right up my street, and I’ve read the book first (I don’t think it’s going to be quite like the book), so that’s a definite.  Eli has Mila Kunis in it and Denzel, and Gary Oldman, but it looks a bit like a film Jean Claude van Damme would star in.  (Not that I don’t mind a film with JCVD in it, I rather like the Belgian, but I wouldn’t pay to watch one at the cinema.)

Just read a story by Walter Jon Williams which reminded me of the sort of stories I should be writing.  Too much Whedon and Battlestar has led me down an introspective cul-de-sac, though I like that my prose style is getting a bit wilder again.  Especially in the last story.  Expect change.
