So, er, does this breach the "Don't flog your tat" clause of the Rules of Conduct, then?

Rich Johnston seems to think that Neil Gaiman has been approached to write an episode for the upcoming Moffat-helmed series of Doctor Who.

Could  be good if it's true.

Looks like Rebellion have finally bitten the bullet and licenced their books out for European translations. Whilst on the scrounge for new content for www.strontiumdog.com (all-new, all-improved, tell your friends!), I stumbled across this page:

Nine Inch Nails are giving away their new album "The Slip" away for free. This is the second NIN album to be released in this way since March. Good times for NIN fans.

I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, but you can get it from...

Want to take part in a viral campaing for The Dark Knight?
The first person to go to the Tavistock Hotel Basement on Bedford Way and ask for a package for "Mooch" will get... something.

I dunno, it's all here on this site:

Just found this here webcomic, which adds an extra dimension to the aforementioned Strontium Dog story. Made me chuckle, anyway.

Yes, I am bored today. Why do you ask?

Tall order: I'm after an image that may or may not even exist.

I need a desert/mountain landscape backdrop by Carlos Ezquerra, to be used as a footer image (ie wide and narrow) on a web page. If it contains one or two of Carlos' funky sci-fi buildings, all the better.

Doesn't really matter if it's B&W or Colour, as I can always colour it myself.
I'm thinking there'll be something suitable in Strontium Dog or a Cursed Earth-based Dredd story. Possibly even Third World War?

Before I start wading through back progs, can anyone tell me where I'd find a suitable image?

Another day, another 2000AD review from Ambush Bug.
Pretty positive stuff.

So, I've managed to talk my mate in IT into sneaking a small freeware image editor onto my PC so I can fiddle with my website at lunch time.

Anybody know which one I'm best using? I'm guessing one of the aforementioned apps will do the trick, but which one?

I only really need to be able to resize existing JPEG images for the time being. A small install size is essential.

Any suggestions?

Ambush Bug provides another positive review over at Ain't It Cool News:

Er, like the title says, really. Ain't It Cool News have a review up for the Droid Life collection.

...the monthly art compos?
They were great fun (even if I generally didn't find time to enter them).

Found this Rogue Trooper, er, "homage" whilst browsing through b3ta.com's latest image challenge thread.

Um...

I haven't used my eBay account for over 12 months. When I have used it, it has been for buying/selling comic/sci-fi/geeky type stuff.

Imagine my surprise, then, to learn that over the past two months I've sold literally dozens of dodgy mobile phones, as well as buying several phones that I've not paid for.

Well, I say I did. actually, it was this guy:
   
Mark Bennet
322 Kingston Road
ILFORD London IG1 1PJ
United Kingdom

Yes, he wisely chose to leave his name and address in my account. When I regained access to my account, I found out who I have to maim.

Now, I'm not sure I have much of a case to take legal action against the guy, as I haven't actually lost any money and the matter was sorted out pretty quickly and efficiently by eBay.

Does the Hive Mind have any suggestions for an appropriate course of action?

Apologies for yet another Who thread, but I couldn't find the relevant old thread. Here's something that occurred to me:

1. David Tennant's Doctor is about to have an adventure on board the Titanic.

2. In the first "New Who" episode ("Rose"), crazy conspiracy theory web-geek Clive mentions that Christopher Eccleston's Doctor was spotted on board the Titanic, amongst other places.

So, what's the chances of a cameo from Eccleston in the new ep? Probably bugger all, but even if he was just hanging around in the background, that would be a pretty cool nod to continuity. Bet they forget...
