Celebrating the Letters of Samuel Beckett
The Laney Graduate School and the Letters of Samuel Beckett Project are pleased to celebrate the publication of The Letters of Samuel Beckett, 1966-1989 by Cambridge University Press, the fourth and final volume of the Letters editions.
Each volume spans critical periods of Beckett's work. Volume IV reflects increased media and personal attention and, with it, a huge influx of letters from old friends and new correspondents. Nonetheless, Beckett found ways to retain the privacy necessary for his writing. This period is one that sees the publication and production of many new works. He explored the possibilities of television as he worked closely with technicians in Stuttgart and London to realize Ghost Trio, ... but the clouds..., Nacht und Träume, and Quad. In his stage plays, Beckett found the dramaturgical means to focus audience attention analogous to what the television camera would permit. He expanded the presence of the personal interior through recorded sound, in such works as That Time, Footfalls, Rockaby, Ohio Impromptu, Catastrophe, and Quoi où. Beckett also continued to write poetry during his final years, ranging from the brief, often witty, "Mirlitonades" to the open-ended musing of "Comment dire." Although he became increasingly impatient with his own physical limitations, Beckett's letters during this time remained responsive to the needs of others.
The project
In 1985, Samuel Beckett authorized founding editor Martha Dow Fehsenfeld to publish his correspondence. Lois More Overbeck was asked to join the project that same year, and from 1985 until his death in 1989, Beckett himself helped to facilitate their research through access and interviews.
In 1990, the project became affiliated with the Laney Graduate School at Emory, and, with Laney's support, received funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities as well as the Florence Gould Foundation to the project. In 1992, the American University of Paris became a center for the edition in France. The editorial team also expanded to include George Craig and Dan Gunn.
Says editor Lois Overbeck, "For Samuel Beckett, letters were first of all a human exchange: they were a means of keeping in touch, of spanning distance and time. Both the tempo and immediacy of contemporary communication suggests that Beckett's Letters may be among the last great literary correspondences."
Indeed, Beckett's correspondence is copious, totaling more than 16,000 letters. The letters, however, are scattered across the globe in both public and private collections. For nearly 30 years, the Beckett editorial team consulted and transcribed all extant letters to make the selections included in all four volumes of The Letters of Samuel Beckett. The complete edition comprises letters selected for their bearing on his work, including some 2,500 letters with another 5,000 quoted in the annotations. The edition also contains all of Beckett's writing – published, unpublished or abandoned: his criticism, reviews, essays on arts, descriptions of paintings that are later transposed into stage images, and observations on musical composition that inform the patterns of his prose.
The students
The Letters of Samuel Beckett is a treasure for scholars, artists, critics and diverse audiences who hold Beckett's work in highest esteem. But the project has also been professionally important to graduate students who credit their involvement in the project for developing a breadth of transferrable professional skills that have continued to shape their careers.
Says Dean Lisa Tedesco of the Laney Graduate School, "I appreciate the opportunities that this project has presented to students at Emory University and the American University of Paris. The graduate experience is devoted to rigorous research and meticulous scholarship. The discipline and focus required to cull, analyze and translate the incredible body of Beckett's correspondence has developed skillsets in our students that go far beyond literary research."
For Laura Barlament (01G), the Letters experience helped her to develop communication and collaborative skills. "I learned about establishing relationships…. I have seen how to ask questions astutely. I have experienced how a community of scholars from different disciplines can work toward a common goal." For Brian Cliff (01G), the experience exposed him to a professional network. "My work with The Letters of Samuel Beckett not only helped me to develop and refine essential critical and research skills, but exposed me to a web of contacts that will be of great help to me over the course of my career. " And for Jennifer Nesbitt (99G), her participation shaped the way that she conducts research. "The most obvious benefit I have derived from the project has been greater knowledge, skill, and resourcefulness in research; it has taught me to follow threads of information to a larger picture and to develop a key scholarly aptitude: the hunch."
The future
Beckett's letters are pivotal for scholars and students of Beckett's work, but at the same time, they are also very human and accessible. As David Sexton recently noted in the London Evening Standard, "every one of them, however brief, is a considered act by Beckett. Each is an example of how he conducted himself. Taken together they constitute a substantial addition to his body of writing."
Dean Lisa Tedesco agrees. "The importance and influence of Beckett's work to the arts, culture and thought is well known and specially regarded. One of the beautiful things about the Letters project and the editions created is to see Beckett's work – and Beckett himself – illuminated in an entirely new way. The Letters have breathed immersive life into Beckett's philosophies, his artistic processes, his keen and critical observations of himself, the world, and other work, and much more."

Puzder nomination could be the end of overtime rules
The president-elect's nomination of Andy Puzder for secretary of labor may very well be the final nail in the coffin for the new overtime rules.
Puzder, CEO of CKE Restaurants, has been an outspoken critic of President Barack Obama's employment initiatives for years. Several of those efforts, especially the overtime rules, are dead given Puzder's appointment, says John Husband, a partner at Holland & Hart LLP and an editor of Colorado Employment Law Letter.
The overtime regulations, which would have required employers to pay overtime to all employees earning less than $913 per week ($47,476 annually), were scheduled to take effect December 1. With just days to spare, a federal district court judge issued a temporary injunction halting the rules' implementation. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) appealed the injunction order to the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, which agreed to fast-track its review. Still, the expedited schedule puts final briefings after the inauguration.

Reuters UK is reporting that the US government database of suspected terrorists has grown from fewer than 75,000 in 2003 so that it's now in excess of 325,000 individuals. An official from the NCTC -- speaking under conditions of anonymity, of course -- says that most of these people are "non-US persons who do not live in the US".
Most. Not all. So that means that the converse is also true, that "US persons who do live in the US" are also on this list. Makes you wonder who is on it. Like you, maybe? Like me? That shifty-looking Apu-wanna-be down at the Quickie Mart for sure -- watch him closely the next time he makes you a Slurpee. Chances are he's going to poison you sooner rather than later.
Jesus, how many people can we possibly put on this list? At 325,000 it's already out of control; why not add another million or so, just to make it interesting. It won't make it any harder to maintain and work -- it's already impossible.
How about adding every Muslim on the face of the planet? Easy. Then we can go to work on the Basque Separatists, the Sendero Luminoso, the Girl Scouts and finally wrap it all up with the Bokononists. But those Bokononists are an untrustworthy lot -- chances are they're already on that list.

When I flipping through a new cookbook that I bought recently, the chopped shallots sprinkle on top a braised spareribs photo was attracted me. I have no regret to try out this recipe, it was very flavourful with melted shallots (braised with a lot of shallots) mix with the soy sauce mixture, juicy , tender, and we especially love the chopped shallots on top, it gave extra spiciness and aroma to the ribs, yum yum !

Hainanese Chicken Chop 海南雞扒
From what I know, Hainanese chicken chop was invented by Hainanese people who worked for the English people during the British colonisation era. Hainanese people put Eastern touch to this Western cuisine, like example marinate chicken meat with soy sauce & etc. My version of Hainanese chicken chop was inspired by a very old restaurant located at Port Klang where they served good Hainanese chicken chop, roti bakar, Hailam mee and etc.

Fall Foliage at Sounkyo 層雲峡 (Daisetsuzan National Park), ropeway , Hokkaido 北海道 2013 (Part 1)
The main aim of the trip to Sapporo was to bring my mother to see autumn colours. When we were at Sapporo, there was not much colours to see since it was still at early stage of autumn, you may check here for the autumn colour report. We have to go northern part at Sounkyo to see the colours. When we saw the beautiful colours, the long hours (90mins by train, 120mins by bus) spent to travel here, it was too worth it!!

Easy Castella Cake (cold eggs method) 蜂蜜长崎蛋糕 (冷全蛋打发)
I was accidently broken four eggs when I tried to close the fridge door on last weekend. Then I asked to Jane what to do with these four eggs, then Jane suggested me to make a castella cake since she just done one. I recalled a castella recipe that shared by Helena earlier, so I immediately make it. But i can't use her method which using separation of eggs since four eggs were mixed up together. So i use back the cold eggs method (you can refer to orange sponge cupcake) . To my surprise, this easy castella recipe yield very nice cake, light, moist, little QQ texture (texture like cross between sponge cake and bread), very nice honey aroma, no oil and no SP or ovalette is added.

OpinionCan we (please) teach entrepreneurship? Entrepreneurship has become a symbol in our capitalist society, yet it still remains an elusive goal for the majority. 22 Dec 2012 14:21 GMT Entrepreneurship is perhaps the unwavering commitment to live or die by your own persistence and abilities [AFP]By Goutham Bhadri Goutham Bhadri is the CEO of Marketing Samurai, LLC, a New York digital marketing agency. He also helped launch Switch2Health. He is a graduate of the LSE, and completed his MBA at Columbia Business School. Story highlightsEntrepreneurship has become one of the most recognisable words in the world over the last 10-20 years, and with good reason. It has become a symbol for the premier achievement in our capitalist society; that of owning, creating and running your own business. Almost everybody would like to do it, but yet it still remains an elusive goal for the vast majority of the world's population. When you hear the real life stories of people like Sir Richard Branson, Bill Gates, or Mark Zuckerberg, you realise entrepreneurship is not just something you can claim on a resume to describe the time you sold T-shirts on your college campus. True entrepreneurs would never think of putting the E word on a resume, because it would be anathema to theEntrepreneurship has become one of the most recognisable words in the world over the last ten to twenty years, and with good reason. It has become a symbol for the premier achievement in our capitalist society; that of owning, creating and running your own business. Almost everybody would like to do it, yet it still remains an elusive goal for the vast majority of the world's population. When you hear the real life stories of people like Sir Richard Branson, Bill Gates, or Mark Zuckerberg, you realise entrepreneurship is not just something you can claim on a resume to describe the time you sold T-shirts on your college campus. True entrepreneurs would never think of putting the E word on a resume, because it would be anathema to the very idea of entrepreneurship in the first place. True entrepreneurs would never think of using the title as a status symbol, because they don't have to. What is entrepreneurship? So what does an entrepreneur do that sets them apart from a baker, mechanic or graphic designer? Entrepreneurship, in its purest sense, is perhaps the unwavering commitment to live or die by your own persistence and abilities. It is the fire to wake up every morning and be excited about doing what you truly want to create; it is the ability to bypass drama and wasted energy, and instead focus all of your intention on your true purpose and career goals. It is the fearlessness to trust in your own ability, your own creativity, and your own resourcefulness when others would ask a superior for help, or consult the closest manual for direction. It is the entrepreneurs who are not afraid to write their own manuals, and who are not worried about whether or not it will be accepted by the majority of the population. "At an entrepreneur's core, that's what they do: they make it happen. Bakers might become entrepreneurs if nobody's hiring, but only to serve their passion for baking " Magazine publisher Jim Warren was the pioneering entrepreneur behind legendary publications like Famous Movie Monsters of Hollywood and Vampirella. In his heyday, Warren was able to take an unpopular product - horror comics - and transform them into something marketable and lucrative through a simple repackaging effort. Warren's strategy involved selling comics in magazine form and selling his own stock of novelty items through ads in the back of the book as opposed to pursuing advertisers reluctant to jump into bed with a horror publisher. He hired the best artists and writers he could afford and, along with editor Forrest J Ackerman, ushered in a new era of fandom that made it okay to call yourself a geek. In his office you'd find a framed plaque reading "Somebody has to make it happen". At an entrepreneur's core, that's what they do: They make it happen. Bakers might become entrepreneurs if nobody's hiring, but only to serve their passion for baking. In some cases the entrepreneur will hire the baker, rent out the storefront and buy the ovens. In other cases the entrepreneur might never even see the bakery in person. They might simply put together the funding and hire a good business manager. What an entrepreneur also shines in is ideas. Every business they launch might not be based on an idea of their own and they might not be just an idea-man working behind the scenes. There are entrepreneurs who put someone else's idea into practice before putting more sweat into the business than any of the people they hire, but at the core of the entrepreneurial spirit is the drive to take a good idea and bring it to life. When we think of entrepreneurship in this way, then it becomes clear that the unmistakable ethos of entrepreneurship usually becomes visible at an early age. We can all imagine mid-level managers in a company, who, although they may be good at their jobs, lack something that can sometimes be visible in children as young as 13 or 14. Yet that spark, that spirit that drives you to start your first lemonade stand, is in all of us. The problem is we're taught to do what's safe, what's guaranteed to work, rather than risk our time, effort and money on ideas that might fail. So often entrepreneurship can be the difference between one person who follows the rules, goes to school, gets good grades, gets a good job, and gets a decent salary, and the person who shuns school altogether, listens to no one and ends up creating a brand new product that goes on to change the world. So why isn't everyone an entrepreneur? Public schools, colleges and your first job teaches you to keep your head down and do your work. Much of our society is built around an outdated industrial model where anyone can be taught to do your job, where you essentially serve as a cog in a machine, and where showing up on time is more important than any of the insights or creativity that you can bring to the table. The difference today is that unlike generations past where you could get by quite well just by doing what you were told, the world's top companies are constantly looking for people that do just the opposite; they break the rules and innovate beyond conventional training. So can we teach entrepreneurship? And more importantly, how? In an interview with a documentary maker, Sir Richard Branson's mother reveals that Branson was actually incredibly shy in his early childhood. In an effort to push him to be more outgoing, she came up with an entrepreneurial idea of her own: Dropping her son off three miles from home and telling him that he would have to talk to people and ask directions to find his way back. Extreme? Frost Over the WorldA new kind of capitalism Sure, but this sink or swim approach to child rearing turned a shy child who literally hid behind his mother's skirt into one of the most daring entrepreneurs of our time. The habits of a successful entrepreneur are also being taught in MBA programmes across the country. As Dean Hubbard of Columbia Business School puts forth in his speech about the 21st century MBA, "the goal is not to have a data dump of functional skills, but to create a process that teaches people how to recognise opportunity - and capture it" (full disclosure: Columbia Business School is my alma mater). Unquestionably there seems to be an un-teachable element in the spirit of entrepreneurship that has driven many great success stories. Some may argue that schooling can, at best, only be described as prepping the canvas for the painter. You can tell the artist where to buy the paints, give them some tips on fundamental art principles, and then provide examples of what people have done in the past. But the actual act of launching the initiative and coming up with the idea that will live on beyond even the creators life itself, is something that just cannot be taught by any stretch of the imagination. Perhaps you can call it creativity, imagination, or pure passion, but the fact remains that, although you can have the largest canvas and paint collection on earth, it still takes an artist to create something beautiful. Those exceptions aside, many people are left with no choice but to learn how to be entrepreneurial. The pace at which the number of doors are opening, and that are continuing to open throughout the world, is staggering. As the economy and the idea of a career evolve over the next decade or two, "entrepreneur" may be the only job title left. As pointed out by entrepreneur Scott Gerber, according to a 2011 survey, some 23 percent of young people who have started a business have done so simply because of difficulty in finding a job. We're already in a sink or swim scenario with youth employment at a sixty year low. Parents may get the ball rolling; high school may get the aspiring entrepreneurs feet wet; universities may lay golden fields of opportunity, connections, and resources at ones fingertips; but the most important part of the journey will always remain with the entrepreneur. We may build the bridges, pave the roads, and open the doors for you, but it is you, the entrepreneur, that will always have to be the one to walk through. Post-war education was designed to place people in large companies where they would find a secure salary.

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
kosher salt
8 ounces whole wheat elbow noodles
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk
6 ounces gruyere cheese, freshly grated
4 ounces swiss cheese, freshly grated
2 ounces parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease an 8×8 inch baking fish
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-low heat. Add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and caramely, about 40 minutes.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the directions, reducing the cook time by 1 minute. Drain and set aside.
In a large pot, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add the flour, whisking until combined to create a roux. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until it's golden and fragrant. Slowly pour in half the milk, whisking constantly so they mixture can thicken, about 5 minutes.
Slowly pour in the other half of the milk and whisk until thickened. Reduce the heat to low and add the gruyere and swiss and all but 2 tablespoons of the parmesan. Stir with a large wooden spoon until the cheese melts. Stir in the paprika, cayenne, nutmeg, mustard and any salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the cooked pasta and the onions.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with the panko crumbs and remaining parmesan. Bake until the top is golden and crunchy, about 25 minutes. Cook for a few minutes

Puerto Rico A Puerto Rican nationalist wanted in a 1983 robbery of an armored truck in Connecticut was shot and killed by FBI agents in a shootout, ending the fugitive's 15 years on the run, the bureau said Saturday.
Filiberto Ojeda Rios, 72, fired on the agents Friday from a farmhouse in the western Puerto Rican town of Hormigueros, said Luis Fraticelli, the special agent in charge of the FBI for the U.S. island territory.
Ojeda Rios had been on the run since 1990 when he cut off an electronic monitoring bracelet and went into hiding while awaiting trial for the robbery of $7.2 million of the Wells Fargo depot in West Hartford, Conn.
The robbery is considered an act of domestic terrorism because the money was used to fund activities by the Puerto Rican nationalist Macheteros, or Cane Cutters. Only about $80,000 of the $7 million has been recovered.

Her third novel Grandmother Wolf also boasts robust characters, and examines blood ties, loyalty and love. Into the mix, Tyrrell has added the brutalising chaos of the 15-year civil war in Beirut. Thousands of Lebanese vanished or were killed, yet life went on - as Tyrrell shows in this involving, if not wholly successful book.
Madeleine, a French-speaking Maronite Christian, occupies a house on the "green line" dividing East and West Beirut. The walls are cracking, but this elderly widow won't move. She still has two of her four grown-up children dancing attendance on her - angry, unmarried Brigitte and Georges, a Phalangist militiaman and jeweller.
Cynical, caustic and implacable, Madeleine surprises herself by agreeing to a visit from her American grandson Rick, an 18-year-old orphan. But although Rick is about to encounter lives "shaped by necessities he couldn't imagine", it's not just the naïf kid who will change.
Tyrrell creates a credible vision of the "bony lovely ruined city", which cannot function without its fixers; where the car bombs that detonate daily send drivers careering backwards at high speed. Twists in the plot keep the reader surprised, and Tyrrell's strength lies in characters who embrace the moral expediencies of war. Rick's gold-digging girlfriend Solange shocks Rick with her amorality. Madeleine, meanwhile, recognises a kindred spirit and applauds Solange's apparently heartless opportunism.
Rick longs to belong, running errands for his uncle, delivering copper wires and ring settings to colleagues. But when he joins an ambulance crew and Georges goes missing, Rick has his innocent principles blasted from him. Once tested, he feels as corruptible as the next man and knows he could do anything to stay alive.
Although Grandmother Wolf starts strongly, the writing occasionally lacks finesse. Tyrrell hits some targets but misses others, and tries too hard with flamboyant metaphors. More difficult to ignore are various solecisms, which an editor should have spotted. When the author sticks to energetic, brisk sentences, she's at her best.

Few things match the ride quality, feel, and durability of titanium, and the masters over at Foundry chose this wonder-material for their road frame. The Chilkoot proudly features Foundry's modern performance geometry; it stays off the front in fast, technical crits, remains comfortable on long rides on smooth and not-so-smooth roads, and ascends your local climbs like you've lost 10 pounds. Enve's tapered carbon fork offers precise steering so you'll hold your line in all situations. The Chilkoot is fully Di2 compatible thanks to hidden ports on the frame and a sleek, removable cable guide on the downtube. Use the guide if you're running mechanical or simply remove it for a clean looking electronic setup. The frame can even handle tires up to 28mm-wide so you can feel confident wherever your ride takes you.

I found a situation today where someone had registered a domain and pointed it at one of my customer's websites who has a dedicated IP. By default, cpanel will allow any host header to bring up the website. It was drawing quite a bit of traffic to the server with visitors and crawlers to this fake website.
It could be blocked at the application level, but it's simple enough to do with .htaccess:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example.org RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example.org RewriteRule .* - [F]
I had the pleasure of installing video cameras over the last couple of weekends. Overall it was challenging work but a welcomed break from sitting in front of a computer screen. Most of the job wasn't too difficult and wasn't too time consuming.
I had struggled with a very frustrating problem when printing to my USB HP Deskjet printer using Ubuntu. The printer would sometimes print an entire job then refuse to print any more after that. The documents would show in the queue but you could not cancel or release them. Another symptom of the problem would be tasks on the machine, owned by a user lp, that you could not kill. These were USB print jobs that also caused a high load average although the machine performance was not affected. These conditions would sometimes persist between reboots.
In being so busy and wanting to achieve so much, I have managed to find more time to work towards my goals without sacrificing time with my family who are the most important to me.
Time management is an art and a habit. Rarely can I take time to type up a blog or watch TV, but I have never been so productive and so filled with purpose. Of course it means cutting out activities like Facebook, Google+, blogging, some home improvement, most TV, and playing my Xbox but I do not miss them.
The latest Firefox update broke the kioskfox plugin. Well, not really broke it, but Firefox says it's incompatible and it cannot find an updated version. It's an easy fix that seems to work well. If you are using the kiosk build from this website, use the command:
I ran into a problem whereby my SQL Server jobs wouldn't run. I received this warning in the log:
The program sqlservr.exe, with the assigned process ID 4724, could not authenticate locally by using the target name MSSQLSvc/dev2.[DOMAIN]:[PORT]. The target name used is not valid. A target name should refer to one of the local computer names, for example, the DNS host name. Try a different target name.
I also saw this message:
The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication.
This is an excellent, easy way to have a consistent user interface. You can use display templates to default values, or give all the values of a specific type the same look and feel (or do both). For example, creating the view String.cshtml inside Views -> Shared -> DisplayTemplates will affect all strings that are rendered using:

Welcome to my httpsite, as the yoof like to call it...
I'm looked after by Nick Ranceford-Hadley of NRH Management for writing, acting, presenting, voiceover etc, and by Greg at The Comedy Agency for live stand-up, so if you'd like to throw some work my way, please get in touch with Nick for writing etc, Greg for stand-up, or me via the Contact Me link on the left for any other business.
2017, baby! A perfect time to explore my new podcast - there are chats with the famous, the infamous and the unfamous, from Miranda Hart to Jimmy Cricket to Tim Vine to my kids. Please listen, subscribe via iTunes, rate us and review us nicely to boost us up the ranks... or we're on www.heptagonclub.co.uk if you're not iTunesy.
Best way of keeping in touch with my ongoings is to join the mailing list - I only send stuff every month or two, and you won't be spammed or owt. Join up if you'd like updates, and you can unsubscribe easily and automatedly without the embarrassment of having to say it to my face (though you can do that too).
I'm working on my 4th book right now - the first 3 are of course available on Amazon etc, but here's a less tax-dodging website you could get them from instead Do peruse and buy if poss, because if enough people do, I'll write more, and I love writing them. If you have bought up, give us a nice review on the afore-mentioned Amazon etc. Thanks!
I'm touring stand-up ongoing, sometimes on the comedy circuit, sometimes doing solo shows, mostly at churches or festivals or other places. The Gig Guide link will tell you where those are. The solo show is a mix of stand-up, multimedia PowerPoint nonsense, songs, Q&A, and of course the obligatory 'Buy the book and I'll sign it from J. K Rowling to make it worth more' bit at the end. I've you'd like to book the touring show for your venue, please do: the Contact page is on the left. You can have just me, or a support act too. It's a nice evening. Get in touch and I'd love to come by. Details are also on the Churches link above. I also tour a delightful December show, 'Comedians & Carols'. It's a right festive knees-up. Details on the Comedians & Carols link on this page.
You may occasionally hear me on BBC Radio 2's Breakfast Show, with a Pause For Thought at 9:20am. You can hear all and any Pause For Thoughts, from me and others, chronologically amassed here. I try and put when these will be on my Twitter and Facebook pages, and also on my monthly email updates.
I'm doing less stand-up lately due to lots more writing work. While I miss the thrill of live stand-up, I don't miss the Ginster pasty meals, so I'm embracing the writing jobs, including Top Gear, TFI Friday, Not Going Out, Miranda, a few Sky comedy pilots, and a raft of my own ideas in different stages of development hell/purgatory/heaven (and journeying through these stages a lot slower than Dante ever implied they would).
The best way of keeping across these projects, what's on when, what's commissioned/broadcast/in the bin, is to follow me on Twitter, and on Facebook, or joining the mailing list. I blog seldom, but it's there for reading if you fancy, see the above links.
Other general current projects:
- Co-writing Not Going Out for BBC1. It's back!
- I wrote for various shows this year inc. Top Gear and Buble at the BBC.
- More coming up include some entertainment shows for BBC1 and ITV... more info on Facebook/Twitter/my mailing list when I can say!
- I've got a sitcom pilot for Sky coming in a few months too, with a tip top name - again, more info when I can say...
- Occasional Pause For Thoughts on the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show
- A non-fiction Christmas book in the offing.
- Two young children's stories equally in the offing.
- Gigs.
- Childcare.
Have a look at my other trivia site too - The Movie Timeline. It's a timeline of every event in every film ever. I didn't do it all myself, but I did have the idea and set it up, so I feel no guilt at claiming the low amount of advertising revenue for myself.
I must give credit to my good pals Jon and Russ for making and feeding this site, and while I'm here let me reciprocate by plugging moviemistakes.com's Movie Trailers section, for trailers of upcoming and classic films.
Thanks for visiting the site. You are now free to wander round. Don't touch the exhibits.

- The writer of the first joke on the last episode of the longest-running topical sketch show of all time...!
Ok. The News Huddlines on BBC Radio 2 is the longest-running topical sketch show of all time. Till it stopped, as soon as I joined. But on its last episode - the 2001 Christmas special - the first joke was mine. Hence, record validated.
- The only bellybuttonless comedian in the world!
Ok. I have no navel. Neither did Alfred Hitchcock. Neither did Adam. Long story. So that's for another day. As far as I'm aware, no either stand-up comic in the world lacks a bellybutton. A navelless maths comedian. I've found my niche. Hence, record validated.
- The first person in 20 years to beat the gong at London's Comedy Store!
Ok. The Comedy Store was one of only 2 clubs I ever went to as a comedy punter, so I thought it would be cool to play there, say, within my first 100 gigs. It was gig no.99 - the revival of the infamous Gong Show, previously banned because of its detrimental effect on comedy. Still, it's a good way of seeing lots of new acts at once, no matter how shit they are. There was about 40 of us on that first night in January 2002... I was on about 15th. So the audience had had some blood, seen some dross and were ready to be tickled. Five minutes of quick-gags/no-long-build-ups later - job done. Hence, record validated.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, 2014/01/17 - Increasing gap between water demand and supply, coupled with ground and surface water contamination is driving the Brazilian wastewater treatment plants market - TechSciResearch.com.
Brazil accounts for about 18% water supply globally, but the distribution of water resources is highly uneven. North Brazil, with lower population concentration, has availability of about 70% of the countrys water resources, while the southeast region has only 6% water resources and the regions population is much higher. This uneven distribution and increasing demand for water, especially from regions with scarce water resources, are augmenting the growth in wastewater treatment plants market in Brazil. According to recently published report by TechSci Research Brazil Wastewater Treatment Plants Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2018, bio-refining, mining, and paper & pulp industries to drive wastewater treatment plants market in Brazil. Sewage utility companies such as Sabesp, Sanepar, Copasa, Embasa and Cesan are the key customers for municipal wastewater treatment plant installers. These companies are expanding water and sewage coverage in order to enhance water facility for the Brazilian population and at the same time, creating market opportunities for the system installers. Improper sewage facility is also one of the key challenges being faced by the country as about 65-70% untreated sewage is directly disposed into rivers. Brazil has large number of municipalities. The total number of municipalities stood at about 5,565 in 2011, with only 28% municipalities having implemented a municipal policy of sanitation and about 47.8% municipalities failing to have adequate control over the quality of water. The TechSci report offers an insight into replacement of conventional clarifiers with Bio Mag, Co Mag and DAF (Dissolved Air Floatation) clarifiers, a driving factor that is contributing to the growth of wastewater treatment plants market in Brazil. In addition, production of bio-gas with the help of sludge discharged after wastewater treatment is gaining ground. In 2000, about 33.5% households in Brazil had access to public sewage, which is anticipated to rise about 65% by 2018. The anticipated expansion in the public sewage network would be on account of increasing investments by the government of Brazil to improve water & sewage facility in the country. Further, the Brazilian government has voiced plans to invest USD1.68 billion by 2014 towards development of water & sanitation facilities which would further drive the market growth, said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director with TechSci Research, a research based global management consulting firm. Brazil Wastewater Treatment Plants Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2018 has evaluated the future growth potential of Brazils wastewater treatment plants market and provides statistics and information on market structure, industry behavior and trends. The report includes wastewater treatment plants market projections and demand forecasting. The report is intended to provide cutting-edge market intelligence and help decision makers to take sound investment evaluation. Besides, the report also identifies and analyzes the emerging trends along with essential drivers, challenges and opportunities available in wastewater treatment plants market in Brazil.
