I’m a member of Triggerstreet.com. It’s an interesting film website set up by Kevin Spacey amongst others. The primary purpose seems to be to generate good scripts. It has a system of feedback and ratings and you aren’t allowed to submit your own until you’ve fed back on five others’ scripts.

Triggerstreet.com recently found itself on Moviemaker Magazines’ 50 Best Websites for Moviemaking. There’s so many websites on there i’d never even heard of. So that’s another fifty excuses to procrastinate when it comes to writing.

I’m not linking to 50 individual website, good as it would be for me and Google to be friends that way. Luckily Moviemaker have kindly linked all of them for you:

Firstly, sorry. It’s been quiet on here forever. I’ve just been pretty busy. But not as long Josh Friedman.

Rant commences: I went to the Apple Store today for a Genius appointment. My beloved macbook is failing to charge the battery. The problem is intermittent but when it charges the battery lasts for a good 4 hours. At other times it won’t charge at all but will run off the powerpack. So it sees the power but doesn’t charge. I’ve reset the management unit and the PRAM and it’s had no effect.

So here’s the diagnostic process we go through:

The internal diagnostics tells us the battery is fine.

A rather swish little programme called Coconut Battery tells us the battery is fine.

The Apple specialist diagnostic tool tells us the battery is fine.

Apple Genius conclusion: “Hmmm, we’ve had a bit of a chat upstairs and we all think it’s the battery. That’ll be £100.

300 charge cycles is average. I’ve had over 800. Apparently I should consider myself lucky.

Well screw you and gargantuan marketing behemoth you rode in on.
