SOME GOOD NEWS AND SOME BAD NEWS

So the latest thing to happen is a really very nasty virus has attacked one of my machines taking it completely out, it seems to have got into the system files. So we're going to try taking the hard disc out and putting it into another computer with all the latest virus software install. Don’t fear, we will be building a special machine for it...well, resurrecting one for the job.

The good news is that I noticed Studio Tacitus has come back. Meaning that Chris must have just been reshuffling things or updating. I would imagine that one day I'll get a bill for it all...just wondering how much that is gonna cost, but anyway its really very good that its back because I genuinely feel that I get traffic from the site because I’ve carried out experiments to prove it.

V FAN FILM

I'm making a attempt to do a promotional short (though really I probably shouldn't have chosen V to do this with probably because the numbers on the fan facebook pages aren't as high as say Star Wars or Batman) if I do a star wars one then the potential publicity factor is huge. The thing is though, I really love V!...I love the idea of the entire thing. I know it sounds like I'm doing it for the wrong reasons...but I'm having a blast here and across the whole of art is important that you have fun whilst you create somthing.

Also...to my knowledge (at least I cant find one on youtube) there has not been a V fan film made. Please if you know of one contact me and show it to me cause I love seeing these things.

I love science fiction and so it really doesn't matter what I work on...(as long as it's science fiction) plus the amount of people who see my work is so very, very tiny that I feel I need to do this.

Here's the first image.

STUDIO TACITUS WEBSITE GOES DOWN

Well I just want to put out a huge Thank you to a man called Chris McNeill who was a really nice guy (really intelligent too) who moved to New Zealand (but myself and my father knew him locally) he had a company that did all sorts of things (one of which was web hosting) and well I decided to go there and get the hosting for www.studiotacitus.co.uk with his company. So I did and it happened nice and fast...

...and he never charged me for www.studiotacitus.co.uk and I don’t know why exactly he never charged me but maybe he knew I wasn’t making any money. My site appears to be gone now...but I don’t know...it may or may not come back….but I was very, very lucky to have a site that didn’t cost any money for such a long time. I don’t know if this is wrong on my part or not...it’s a bit like a creature attached to a huge whale perhaps. But I’ve not earned any money in seven years now...so basically things are done on the extreme cheap side...I even buy VHS tapes now for 20 pence in order to see new films.

In the meantime I think I’m just going to have this blog as the main place and if I need to direct somebody to a video I’ve made then I can post it on here and tell them to go to the top of the page...I’m thinking that the huge banner at the top of this blog is a bit too big though and I do believe it causes confusion.

I think people despise me for this sort of a story that I tell and want me to get a job...but you cannot work a nine to five job when you are chronically ill.
