Recently while chatting at work I was doing a joke about klingon style software engineering and test management.
I recognized that I needed to explain this more than 20 years old stuff. Fair, how should they know, some of them have an other professional background.

Beside that: I had long time #chuck on my terminal for creating some text for testing Linux pipes.

Miranda Hart riding Kez into battle? We got overexcited. Wizkids Rising Tensions expansion actually adds Miranda-class cruisers and Klingon Birds-of-Prey to Star Trek: Into the Unknown. Though i think i may have pre-ordered the miranda + kez version... https://l.d20.ninja/3e2u9app #sciFi #wizkids #klingons #starTrek #starFleet #ussDefiant #sciFi #miniatures

Dear Friends of #Yama, :ablobblastoff:
I like her #unexpected #scythe, her #dementor type #garb. Her angry #stomping.As we may know, #death comes in #unexpected #forms, not always to those who deserve; The #innocent, the #pure, the by stander. The scythe cuts #wheat,
#chaff, #trees and #everyone.#Today is a #good day to #Live, as the #Klingons might say (not in this #fantasy)
Just a #reminder to #prepare. We won’t be bringing what we stand up in. Your coin for the #river #Styx is #invalid currency. You can try #offering a #fish sole, shoo sole, soul solo. No use. The row is over. The furthest shore empty.
#Rest In #Peaces

Retro SciFi Film of the Week…
Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)
This film is about a bald, long-legged alien… and other stuff.
It’s hard to convey how anticipated this film was when it was released. The original TV series had been canceled a decade prior, which disappointed loyal fans and by time this film was made, the series had been widely syndicated and gathered a huge fan base. It was a really big deal. The first Star Trek movie, ever.
Production for the film was a real mess. The suits at Paramount thought the thing was some kind of Star Wars knockoff and the script was rewritten several times before production began. They even wanted to turn it into a new TV series at one point. When production finally started, the script was still unsatisfactory to everyone. Creator Gene Roddenberry and director Robert Wise struggled over the project throughout. Leonard Nimoy, William Shatner and other cast members, and even the special effect guy were contributing to the script as the production was going on. The final script at the end of production contained only a fraction of what was in the original script when shooting started.
In the end the narrative wasn’t the tightest story ever produced, but it was original. However, it lacked any contemporary social commentary, which was a hallmark of the original series. The special effects were fantastic (for 1979), as was the score.
Douglass Trumbull (2001: A Space Odyssey) did the special effects which were almost entirely done with models, lighting, hand-painted mattes and photographic special effects; only a few simple computer generated images were used. The score was done by Jerry Goldsmith who continued on with the franchise, providing it with it’s distinctive theme music.
Because the film was so rushed, Wise was not totally satisfied with it and a directors cut was eventually made years later, which he thought was the best edit of the film.
Even with its flaws, I highly recommend this film.
