Somebody from Slough SL1 (Good afternoon 68.183.36.111) is desperate to hack my blog; numerous attempts and lockouts all from the same IP address.

Before I model this in Blender, I have to understand how it was wrapped in real life. So a bit of A4 and a Rubik's Cube...

If I don't get my Christmas decorations made now, I never will. Thanks to a lovely off-screen picture from @transdiffusion.org , here's how it's going so far. This being 60 years ago is truly terrifying. #blender3D

3D model of the BBC1 Christmas Symbol from 1966. There are two rows of snowflakes at the top and bottom of the screen. There is as caption at the bottom of the screen saying "Christmas BBC1". There is an orange and lemon coloured horizontal bars across the centre of the screen. In the middle of the bars a circle is cut out, through which you can see a lit candle against a purple glittery background.

Video editing using Kdenlive is something I haven't done in a while. I really think Test Card D looks good in widescreen - it seems so much less cluttered. I'm still heavily into 1968 so I don't know if I should be listening to the White Album or The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter.

Can't sleep so I'm playing with my globes. Interesting how the Himalayas becomes "random polyfilla" on the original.

Dave Jeffery @kecskebak.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

It's getting there. The main reason for this is I've always wanted to be able to use Ronnie Hazlehurst's "Guitars".

I got this t-shirt to celebrate getting a new job. Then, yesterday, after a long silence they told me they didn't want me after all and had given the job to someone else. #oneforsorrow

My goodness, special Apollo symbols seems to be a regular thing on BBC1 network presentation. I should have checked Dave Baldwin's YouTube channel before writing my article. Here's a look at the Apollo 14 symbol in the Noddy room. youtu.be/agKiATDgdBs?...

Prospero of the great globe itself – Stupid Rubbish

Dave Jeffery @kecskebak.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

@aswiseman.bsky.social sent me a scan of Alan Jeapes' Prospero typeface, so I've been playing about putting it into FontForge, via Inkscape. Still some work to do, but hope to be releasing this soon for anyone to play with. The typeface was used with 1985's COW BBC1 globe.

A screenshot of Inkscape, with test text written in the Prospero font by Alan Jeapes. It's a 1920s/30s inspired serif font. The text says "PEBBLE MILL NORTH SOUTH EAST WEST BBC1 BBC2 BBC3 ALAN JEAPES PROSPERO AERIAL 1985 REITH LONDON CEEFAX 888 SUBTITLES FOR DEAF"

My old TSW t-shirt lasted six months and 70 washes, which is pretty good. They do make me feel a little less homesick.

Hungary has just got rid of Thatcher only to replace her with Tony Blair. I'm sure it'll all go splendidly.

Everyone here already knows about this, obviously, but for the stragglers just getting back from a month in Ulaanbaatar, please go to Mark McMillan's brilliant Project Pendulum NOW. Yes, put down that fork, leave the table and just *glory* in it. Thank you. www.mcmweb.co.uk/project_pend...

Listening to Paul McCartney's new single today. It sounds both musically and lyrically like it could be a @tawalker.bsky.social track, which is very high praise indeed. The UK's Eurovision entry is bloody good too.

I will never, ever get used to the fact that sometimes you can write a blog post about something you adore, and then the person who created it pops up in the comments. Like this morning, when I noticed Ian McKim left a comment on my blog post about the 4 Square Maze music. www.kecskebak.hu?p=483
