Still here, still doing stuff.  Just thought you’d like to know… (taps desk and gazes out window in a pensive manner)…

This fellow has made an interesting film:  Link   Something strangely familiar about it though…

And it’s only May! I better slow down before the whole internet clogs up with my blog.

Just thought I’d better point out that I do in fact still exist, and have been busy on another external project which has kept my own projects dormant long enough for the Desktop Cleanup Wizard to pop up and try to persuade me to put my shortcuts in the bin. Little does Mr Cleanup know, I’ve been opening the files from their original locations and chipping away at them from there. Take that, Wizard of Desktop Cleanliness!

So what this means is that while progress on the DVD is now moving even slower, I’ll actually be able to afford to put it into production… just in time for holocube players to come out! Hooray for progress!

Welcome to the murky greenish grey of WEBSITE MK II. The old one wasn’t much fun to maintain and I needed a front end that would allow for expansion into other less “Passengery” things. Consequently it’s got more buttony thingamabobs, searchy whatchamacallits, RSS dooverlackies and other high tech …stuff.

Don’t be alarmed though, The Passenger is still high priority and the original pages are still mostly intact and viewable by clicking on the image above.  They took me ages to do (believe it or not) and I’m not about to go dragging all my good work into the recycle bin. Besides, I don’t know how to do those spooky glowy buttons and things in here.

The site is somewhat empty (again) for now, so consider this a replacement for what was previously known as “Newsy Bloggy Thing” until I’ve come up with some material to populate its pages.

I discovered today that my email address had been malfunctioning, causing mail to bounce back to the sender. It seems to have been fixed now, so please repost any messages that were sent since the start of the year. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Now that I’m starting to get a handle on this fiddly business of web designing, I’ve noticed what a diabolical mess I’ve made of setting up the directory structure.  So, I’ve pulled it all apart and put it back together again.

In the process I’ve made all the pages a bit more uniform and finished looking, and now you can navigate to any page from any other page (except the front page) - convenient!  It’s almost enough to create the illustion that there’s actually a lot of stuff in here.

Let me know if anything’s broken.

It’s not Passenger related, but here’s a glimpse of what I was up to a month or two ago. It’s a “behind the scenes” look at a feature film pitch by Jon Dixon. I did the opening title and establishing shot for the teaser as well as some other minor effects shots.

I’ve just finished another job, so with any luck I’ll manage to get some Passenger stuff up before the next wave hits.
