Copenhagen

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 22:12:22 GMT

It’s hard to find a suitable historical precedent for what just happened at Copenhagen. There have been abject failures of leadership at a national level, and huge regional mistakes like the Treaty of Versaille, but I can’t think of any case as comprehensive as this. The leadership of the world has met in the face of a very obvious collective threat, and betrayed every person on the planet.

We’ve known for years how this has to work. Emissions trading, binding caps, and investment by the developed countries in cleaner infrastructure in the the developing countries. It’s been thrashed out many many times.

I understand the politics, and all the pathetic excuses for why this country can’t do this until that country does that, but you can’t reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere by whining at them.

In what will hopefully be the last of my acting adventures for the year, I am hanging around on a film set waiting to play Mr Crud.

All done with Prometheus Bound, and I got to bring my mask home. It will come in handy should I ever need to impersonate Hephaistos again.

It’s nice to walk downtown and keep passing the poster you designed.

I have my mask on, and my apron, and my limp. Chains are ready at hand for all to see. Metal spike, check. Let’s do this dress rehearsal.

Prometheus Bound

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 22:10:07 GMT

If you’d like to see me limp dramatically up and down some stairs, now’s your chance. Plus, you also get a crucifixion, birdpeople and an overwrought cow-woman. All the great things that have brought people out to the theatre for over 2400 years.

Prometheus Bound runs 8pm 9-12 December, at the Old Queens Theatre on Hereford Street.

More information at the Facebook page.

In a disturbing development for my productivity levels, it seems I can IM Second Life from my phone.

Second Life Cardiff is the same as Real Cardiff, but with more Doctor Who memorabilia, and a statue of Captain Picard falling on his bottom.

Bike lock

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 22:14:08 GMT

My bike lock stopped working. I bought a new bike lock, with four keys and a special bracket to attach it to the frame. The next day my new bike lock fell off the bracket in transit and is now lost. As a temporary measure, I went back to using my old bike lock as a prop. You can pull it apart without a key, but it looks like my bike is locked. Yesterday I forgot to take my old bike lock key with me at all, which wouldn’t have been a problem except that my old bike lock has unaccountably started working again, so I had to walk home. Now I find that I can no longer locate my old bike lock key.

As is so often the case, Plan D involves a hacksaw.

I’ve finally found a usable Mac client for Second Life. Is anyone out there using it, or is something else cool now?

Theatre rules.

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 21:11:35 GMT

I am rehearsing two plays. In one I will be required to crucify a dude. In the other I shall be an aeroplane.

It is very important I do not get these parts mixed up. The Little Prince’s themes of yearning for lost childhood and the suffocating banality of adult society could possibly survive the unexpected introduction of a crucifixion scene, but I’m almost certain that Aeschylus (if the author was indeed Aeschylus) did not intend for Hephaistos to bear Prometheus around the stage on his shoulders making neeeyaaaaar noises.

I know this theatre piece isn’t intended as a literal interpretation of The Little Prince, but I think the nudity sends mixed messages.

After some research, it appears that Sketchup has secret keyboard shortcuts that are different from the ones in the menus.
