  4. Ah yes, another thrilling episode of "Firmware Follies" where hackers play peekaboo with #SecureBoot, and OEMs scramble to patch holes they forgot they had 🤦‍♂️. #Hydroph0bia, the latest buzzword, sounds more like a fear of water than a security flaw, but who cares as long as the patch notes are longer than the fix? 🚀🔒

  8. "Losing My Mind"
    Named for one of my favorite songs in “Follies,” & also because my voice actor head-canon for Prince Sapphire is Bernadette Peters.
    Here she is missing the abducted Alastor, before she goes up to his radio tower in vain hope that her song of loss and longing might reach his ears.

  9. The Abandoned Engineering TV Documentary Series

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Recently whist playing with Galaxus TV which is just free to air television, made available via Galaxus rather than a satellite dish I have been able to revert to the habit of watching niche documentaries, as I used to years ago, when I lived in a house with a satellite dish.

    The beauty of broadcast television, in contrast to streaming services, is that you have high quality content that was good enough for broadcast. The other advantage is that content is available two to three episodes per day, rather than all at once as is the case with Netflix, among other platforms.

    The Series

    Abandoned Engineering is a documentary series that explores abandoned buildings, complexes, aircrafts and more. It looks at places of interest on every continent. It covers citadels, cave cities, castles, follie, hospitals and many more buildings. Some are ancient and some are modern. Yet more are being given a new lease of life.

    For many of the places and sites you have subject matter experts providing specific information about a place, and their link to it. In other cases you have three to six people commenting on various aspects of each site.

    On Style

    In some cases the reality TV style presenting feels kitsch and that detracts from my interest in the series. It would be fine without the sensationalism.

    I also question whether those that are seen commenting on every bit of engineering have visited the sites that they are talking about, or if they're just reading their script. The background for these interventions is always the same. It gives the impression that they just read their script for each epside at once, in a studio, and then went about doing other things.

    Still in Production

    The series is 14 seasons strong so far, and has been going since 2016. New episodes are still being created at the time of writing.

    The Value

    For me, the value of such a series is that it presents us with three to four interesting bits of abandoned engineering each episode. We learn about castles with deep underground tunnel networks. We learn of a castle with more than twenty kilometres of walls.

    We also learn of hotels and palaces that thrived until a natural disaster, or government policy change. With these documentaries we might be inspired to travel more. We might even find out about interesting places that are not far away.

    And Finally

    With Netflix, YouTube and other sites, you see what algorithms think you want to see. With Galaxus TV and broadcast TV you see what is being broadcast when you're curious and this provides you with interesting suggestions. It encourages you to watch content that you would not, otherwise, come across.

    I have around four seasons left to watch. I don't know how many I already watched.

    There's a Foundation, and before COVID they had it running as a nice wedding venue.
    It was a folly, built above the Lord Haldon hotel when it was someone's house, by them or their adjacent. But it works.

    I suspect one could still hire it for a polite party, if one asked.

    The rather simpler Belvedere on the hill above Powderham Castle has recently been renovated, and I think is more or less in action. Good view from there.

  15. Musical Interlude: OK, yesterday was my sixtieth birthday. I'm not sure I feel it, and wonder if I should...you know how that goes. But, anyway....I love this song, and I dedicate this to myself and anyone else kind of amazed that they're still around.

    "I'm Still Here," performed live by Yvonne de Carlo.
