Traveler

    
    

Traveler was a great show!


It had all the makings of a show that would pull you deeper and deeper until there was now way out. I know it did me.. and it was only on the air for eight episodes!

ABC, in all of their ultimate wisdom, devised this strategy to help the show:
1) moving it from a fall release to summer. STRKE 1!
2) Little to no promotion. STRKE 2!
3) Cutting the show down from 13 episodes to only eight. STRIKE 3!

And for some inexplicable reason, ABC didn't feel the show had enough viewers.
What else could they expect?
Alas, it's all over now, the fat lady has sung...

Rest In Peace, Traveler


On the positive side, the creater of the show, Dave DiGilio, wrote a celebrity blog, which you can read at TV Guide.com, as well as huge amounts of postings on the Internet Movie Database boards. I found his blogs entertaining, and the last one made me wish sooooo much the outcome would have been different.
It truly was an excellent show, and it's really a shame all the campaigns to try to save it didn't work out.


I guess there's always something new coming around, and it might be good.. but I have a feeling I'll be watching it on a different network.

Upgraded to Sandbox v. 1.2!

With a few trials and tribulations getting it installed and having it properly upgrade, it's in place.
I've added my emoticons and am working on the .css file so I can have it display the way I want. All in all, it's coming along ok, though I think I need a few more additions I put into the old-er version.

Only time will tell, but I have faith in myself :)

I know.. great title for a blog entry :D

Seeing as how sendmail doesn't lend itself to a 'quick and dirty' setup, especially with a dynamic URL, I thought I'd post a little something.

1. Sendmail working exactly the way I wanted it to, even though I have to relay through my ISP. I think it's because they block port 25, but I'm not certain of that.
2. Now have a pop3 and imap server running so I can actually access my e-mail from elsewhere
3. And to make matters even better, I've installed a php webmail client so I can access my e-mail without setting up an e-mail program.

A couple of other odds and ends too, enabled my SSH and made some changes in Sandbox, so if I create a post that's NOT published, it will not send out any rss feed info.
When I eventually edit the post and make it "published" it will then create the xml for the rss feed then.

Nothing too much other than that, just hadn't put out anything in quite some time. Didn't want to keep my faithul readers hanging on for too long! ;)

Wanted to make sure I'm blocking RSS also!

Ok, no rss feed came across. I'm going to publish this and see if it comes across now, or if I have my variable setup incorrectly.

Following Conner's lead, I took the RPG Class test. These are MY results :D:

Smart Paladin
59% Combativeness, 10% Sneakiness, 64% Intellect, 63% Spirituality
Valorous! Noble! Or possibly just a self-righteous jerk (but with the brains to keep you alive!)... You are a Smart Paladin!
Paladins are holy warriors. They are valorous defenders of the light. Unfortunately, most of them are so ardent in their defense they tend to meet sticky ends faster than you can say "rampaging red dragon." Many people look up to Paladins, while others just consider them stuck up, overbearing, or self-righteous.
Fortunately for you, unlike most Paladins, you're pretty smart. Which means that you're more likely to fall into the "admired" category, rather than the "obnoxious" or "dead" categories.
Much like the crusades, you manage to combine violence and religion, though unlike the crusades, you add a healthy does of intelligence. You may be a staunch defender of the faith, a valorous champion of the weak, or the stuff that jihads are made of. Which ever one you are, just be happy that you’ve got the smarts to back it up and make it work.
