Speaking of cool TV series, the BBC series Life On Mars is great, I've been watching it all this week. The cool thing is that they're voluntarily ending it at the end of Season 2 which is a refreshing change from dragging plots out for ratings á la Lost. Plus it's 'so good' that there's a remake of it for American TV underway.

On things I never get around to finishing, there's Miami Vice the series which I keep meaning to watch

Seriously. I love Michael Mann's work. Also there's Kebabtray.com which has been going nowhere for a month now. Soon.....

I honestly can't say what seasons I've seen of Red Dwarf, since it only came on every other weekend growing up and I didn't always catch it. I did read the 2 books though by Grant Naylor and they pretty well encapsulate everything I saw in the series.

Alas! There are so many things...

For most of my life I have had an interest in robotics, automation, and other control systems centered areas of electronics/computers/etc... I honestly don't think I could even begin to list the projects I would like to start... There are others that have been started, but are far from finished...

So many things to design and build...

So much code to write...

The responsibilities of life seem to have a way of suspending and preventing so many things from ever being achieved...

I can understand starting websites and not finishing them. For me, it's nothing to do with coding / workload, and everything to do with not having a real need to complete the work. I began one called 'Fingal's Cave', but the scope was too broad so I didn't finish that.

Then someone commissioned me to create an information focused site around a medical theme, but that fell through owing to unreliable people.

Now if I was developing a site I would make sure I had one very narrow subject. I would spend a month or so gathering content, then I would buy the web hosting / domain name.

Following that I would publish a very basic (probably crap) site containing the content, and polish it up week by week. The coding would come last rather than first. Any further content could be bolted on later if need be ...
