  1. Heh. Cheap SF flicks, eh? Nah, I think the boring mobile phone mast shadow
    is probably the truth.

    I think you need to look more closely. It's definitely an earwig.

    Welcome to my world.

    I know what's going to happen - grumpiness will finally be recognised
    as an art form, or somebody will invent a way to bottle it and sell it
    on ebay for thousands - just after I turn back into the little ray of
    ginger sunshine that I oughter be.

    You either need to get your eyesight tested PDQ, or buy a new screen.

  7. Hey, I'm defending my employers' honour here. <snort> I think I shall rattle
    some cages in Vancouver and see what happens. They'll probably say it's one
    of the small chunks we didn't do.

    Can you ask them to give me a job please. I used to work at the British
    Film Archives restoring old reels[1] if that helps, & quite fancy
    moving to Canada.

    [1] 'Dial M for Murder' was one of mine.

    It mostly was, but also depressing when you popped the lid off a tin &
    found it full of dust/water. They were originally stored in a leaky old
    warehouse in Aylesbury, & many didn't survive.

    Some went straight in a skip, the rest went to the lab in Aston Clinton
    where we restored them, then off to a huge climate controlled vault in
    Berkhampsted (paid for by John Paul Getty).

    Isn't a more likely response to be "Who are you?"

    No, I hadn't made *that* particular connection.
    Oh come on, how likely is that?

  13. Stretching it a bit, I know. But it does look a bit spiky Shadow sort of
    thing, that bug. To a vagule deranged mind that wishes it was still in
    Sitges.
    On a Friday afternoon? No chance. Brain's gone for the weekend.

  14. Wotcha.
    I used to have a real phobia about Earwigs - a few years back, if there had
    been one on the tank
    of my bike I would have twatted it with whatever came to hand. . . . if that
    happened to dent the tank, then so be it.
    Now I can actually pick the little buggers up - though it still gives me the
    willies to do so.
    In true Sod's law fashion, my tent turned into Earwig central when I went to
    the Bacon Slicer rally earlier this year.

  17. Which means this particular image ain't ours, I think. Unless we have *real*
    software bugs, of course.

    I'm trying to figure out why *any* satellite image would need scanning....

  19. Well, yeah. I suppose that someone might still be using those quaint Fox
    Talbot type things taken from an airship.
