On 7gen.com I am running a podcast about sane uses of technology and am using the RSS Remote Enclosure module to handle creating the podcast feed. A podcast is merely an RSS feed where the items have enclosure tags referencing audio or video files which are the podcast episodes. Out of the box Drupal creates enclosure tags if you upload a file, but the server on which 7gen.com is hosted doesn't have much disk space.

On the planet Telos, an archeological expedition uncovers a hidden entrance in the side of a mountain. When a member of the expedition touches the doors, he is electrocuted. The TARDIS lands nearby, and the expedition is joined by the Doctor, Jamie and Victoria. Parry, the expeditions leader, explains that they are here to find the remains of the Cybermen, who apparently died out centuries before. The expedition is funded by Kaftan, who is accompanied by her giant manservant Toberman and her colleague Klieg. Hmm says the Doctor...

What do you do when you're the Doctor and you see your TARDIS being hauled away on a truck. Why, you give chase, but when you can't chase down the truck you return to the vicinity and do your best Sherlock Holmes impression. In this story we have the Doctor and Jamie still in Gatwick Airport, the TARDIS has been stolen, and for a couple episodes the Doctor is playing Sherlock Holmes looking at minute clues that lead him on a trail which ends in his capture. Seems someone has set a snare for the Doctor, and they wish him to go back in time to 1866 and to do a little experiment.

Back to Tibet we go except it was probably really the Scottish Highlands in disguise. We have here a most interesting adventure about myth. The Doctor, Jamie and Victoria land in Tibet and its too cold even for Jamie's bravery and he ends up wearing a jacket despite his Highlander blood. The wimp. The adventure involves an anthropologist / explorer hunting the elusive Yeti, a monastery full of Tibetan Monks, and space aliens bent on destruction. Oh, and the Doctor gets to return a holy relic, a Ghanta, to this monastery which he had visited 300+ years before.

What happens when a police box materializes on the runway of Gatwick Airport? Why the police come over and retrieve it. The Doctor and Companions arrive in 'modern' Gatwick Airport, leading Jamie to believe they're being attacked by flying beasties. As they're running around Polly discovers a murder. As the story progresses it gets weirder and weirder. The murder was conducted using a weapon which electrocuted the victim, leaving burn marks and scorched fabric, and why was an unused Spanish postage stamp in his pocket? Curiouser and curiouser my dear Commandant.

The Doctor and Companions land on the Moon. It's fun times flying around in low gravity. But the situation soon becomes very grave. On the moon is a moonbase housing a weather control station. They are using a kind of gravity control device to control weather, but the station is having problems and the people on earth are bitching up a storm. To make matters worse some of the crew is coming down with a strange sickness. And by coincidence the Doctor and Companions arrived at the same time so it must be them who caused it, though there's no proof.

One of the issues with correctly configuring a shared mercurial repository is to prevent there being multiple heads in the shared repository. Multiple heads? Does that sound like Zaphod Beeblebrox? Maybe, maybe not. In Mercurial history can be a convoluted thing, just like in real life. The series of changes a team has in hand may end up at a place where there are multiple lines of history.

The Doctor and Companions land on an unnamed planet in Earth's colonial future and find a man being attacked by a huge clawed insect monster. They are greeted by Medok, a half-crazed colonist, who is promptly arrested by Ola, the Chief of Police. It seems everybody who professes to see these monsters are made out to be crazy paranoids and are sent to the hospital for readjustment of their thinking, and if they do not conform they're sent into the gas mines where they tend to die.

In Jamie's inaugural voyage in the TARDIS we travel to Atlantis. It is not an Atlantis of ancient times, but one which has been buried beneath the ocean until modern times. A modern day mad scientist, Professor Zaroff, has made his way to Atlantis and has a crackpot crazy scheme. He's told the Atlantean's that he can raise their city from beneath the ocean, and to these people who have been buried for centuries having their city above the ocean again is appealing. However Zaroff has a different plan, one which will involve destruction of the planet.

In the early history of the Web I had a twinkling of an idea to build dynamically generated web sites. One in particular I built, http://reiki.7gen.com/directory/ -- well, it is an overwhelming success of sorts allowing Reiki practitioners to register and announce themselves as Reiki practitioners. At the time I had formed the idea to build this kind of web site (1997) the tools to do so were either nonexistent or very primitive (cough, perl, cough, cough).
