mtemplar_ficLate to the game on this one, but just in case you haven't seen them yet, here's the covers/synopses (courtesy of Outpost Gallifrey) for the latest round of DW BBC novels, due to be released in September:
The Taking of Chelsea 426 by David Llewellyn
The Chelsea Flower Show: Hardly the most exciting or dangerous event in the calendar, or so the Doctor thinks. But this is Chelsea 426, a city-sized future colony floating on the clouds of Saturn, and the flowers are much more than they seem.
As the Doctor investigates, he becomes more and more worried. Why is shopkeeper Mr Pemberton acting so strangely? And what is Professor Wilberforce’s terrible secret?
They are close to finding the answers when a familiar foe arrives, and the stakes suddenly get much higher. The Sontarans have plans of their own, and they’re not here to arrange flowers...
***
The Krillitane Storm by Christopher Cooper
When the TARDIS materialises in medieval Worcester, the Doctor finds the city seemingly deserted. He soon discovers its population are living in a state of terror, afraid to leave their homes after dark, for fear of meeting their doom at the hands of the legendary Devil’s Huntsman.
For months, people have been disappearing, and the Sheriff has imposed a strict curfew across the city, his militia maintaining control over the superstitious populace with a firm hand, closing the city to outsiders. Is it fear of attack from beyond the city walls that drives him or the threat closer to home? Or does the Sheriff have something to hide?
After a terrifying encounter with a deadly Krillitane, the Doctor realises the city has good reason to be scared.
***
Autonomy – Daniel Blythe
Hyperville is 2013's top hi-tech 24-hour entertainment complex – a sprawling palace of fun under one massive roof. You can shop, or experience the excitement of Doomcastle, Winterland, or Wild West World. But things are about to get a lot more exciting – and dangerous...
What unspeakable horror is lurking on Level Zero of Hyperville? And what will happen when the entire complex goes over to Central Computer Control?
For years, the Nestene Consciousness has been waiting and planning, recovering from its wounds. But now it’s ready, and it’s deadly plastic Autons are already in place around the complex. Now more than ever, visiting Hyperville will be an unforgettable experience...

I'm guessing these will be our last novels with Ten - I hope not, but I think they will be. *sniffs*

lucyd3, here's your link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1110263/Wheres-Tardis-need-David-Tennant-gets-mobbed-hundreds-fans.htmlEeeeek! Poor DT! I'm assuming you've seen the pics of fans blocking Georgia Moffet's getaway car from (I think) Friday night? And tonight is the last night of Hamlet, and it's looking like there will be no DVD. Part of me is clinging to hope that this is because they're taking the show on the road, but no word yet. I can't even begin to imagine the insanity that will occur outside the theater today/tonight.
And this is from some insanely bored browsings yesterday in designated 'safe' areas while waiting for some tests to come back: http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20090109/sc_livescience/womencansmellamansintentions
Someone must write a fic about this. Just not me! XD
And finally, it looks like the sprained left wrist will be requiring surgery. *headdesk* Unfortunately, my mother will be undergoing a bilateral knee replacement in February, and I'm already going to be flying home for that to help out/provide moral support and whatnot. Maybe I'll be able to get it fixed in March, if it'll wait that long.

Date: 2009-01-10 06:22 pm (UTC)I had heard it was an issue on the end of the potential broadcaster, but who knows? If Sir Ian McKellen was willing to do Lear, I don't know why DT wouldn't be willing to do a filmed Hamlet or LLL.
Dunno. I have no idea what the hangup involves, but it looks like there's going to be massive finger-pointing.
The Easter special starts filming 19 January. I've seen/heard nothing to indicate anything other than the Easter special is being filmed at that time, although I certainly don't work for the Beeb.
I dunno - it really wouldn't make economic sense to break up the filming, or have two units working after filming starts in July for S5. *ponders*
That's supposed to be Jack's line! ;)
Har, har. At least it's the left. Life was pretty miserable when my right hand (I see another pun coming in my very near future - actually two. At least two.) was out of commission.

I would be astonished if S5 starts filming in July. They don't appear to be doing this year's Christmas special.

Not a southpaw then. This must be particularly frustrating in your line of work!

Looks that way, unfortunately.

Isn't that because one of the specials with Ten will be shown at Christmas?

Nope. There's several lefties in the family, but I'm not one of them. And it's not particularly frustrating, I just have to be careful. As long as I don't turn or bend the wrist while lifting something heavy, it's doable. If it's surgerized, it'd be splinted up big time for two weeks with no weight whatsoever. Having the right wrist out was worse, as I have to sign my name a few zillion times a day.

*now picturing Ten hauling himself up out of the hot springs, fishing a wheeled blackboard and pointer out of the jacket, and offering to conduct a lecture if they're all so interested, still standing there dripping wet and nekkid with his hands indignantly on his hips*
*after he finishes his strop, angry dimples included*
"Blimey, there's a bit of a draft in here!"
Isn't that because one of the specials with Ten will be shown at Christmas?
That is quite likely to be the case, from the looks of things at the mo. Given that the last Special is a two-parter (and whether that means one extra hour of Special, or it's replacing one of the other specials I don't know), best guesses at the moment have it two-partering either on Christmas and then New Year's, or somewhere thereabouts.

Have you deactivated the program on your computer that you're no longer using? Transfer activation
If you are transferring an activated copy to a different or new computer, you can transfer the activation to the new computer. Go to the Help Menu of the application and choose Transfer Activation. You will need an internet connection to complete the activation transfer process. Upon completion of the activation transfer, your existing product installation will be rendered unusable, and you will be able to install and activate the copy on the new computer.
Have you been doing your install as an administrator on your machine? If you're trying to install it as a regular user, you probably don't have sufficient privileges for everything Photoshop needs to do.
Have you tried copying the install folder to the desktop and running it from the desktop (again, as an admin)?

The only problem with having the left wrist/hand out of commission is not with work (I have staff and can dictate if I have to), but more with the kidlings, esp. the baby. She is a mommy's girl and is going through a stage where she wants nothing to do with daddy. It's sad!

*hughug* I'm sure she'll love Daddy again...someday... when she's forced to carpool with her sister and still can't date until she's 83... on second thought... ;) jk!

I think you're the first person who's missed it! Ok, maybe the second.
Me, I was thinking you have a husband who can wait on you hand and foot, but mebbe that's just me.
I'm already very spoiled. He made duck empanadas last night (yes, from scratch) for dinner last night. He isn't the best at cleaning up after his cooking extravaganzas, but they were very good, so I won't complain.
We had the niece visiting us earlier this week, and she's now hooked on DW (it's my duty, right?). We just happened to be watching 'Bad Wolf' and her reaction to Cap'n Jack and the defabricator? "Ewwwww! He looks like Uncle Paul! Ewwwwww!" She ended up watching from between her fingers. *grins* And, of course, the hubby happens to walk in at that moment, and we're both dying laughing at him. Classic.

He made duck empanadas last night... He looks like Uncle Paul!
Okay, your husband makes empanadas from scratch and looks like John Barrowman? Somebody's very lucky!

Yeah, I agree. He's still going to have his OWN fans to deal with... but some of them may reduce if he sticks to just theater. *thinking of what you and Prin discussed earlier with RSC Hamlet DVD's* And, XD; If he's anything like me? I'd probably refuse to put a play I was in on DVD as well. Not for any particular reason... just because of my own silly belief. For me? Theater is theater? The passion and wonder of it is because it IS fleeting. You can only catch it at a certain time/place... which is why it's so energetic and special. As much as I'd love to see that show on DVD... it just wouldn't have the same passion as it did on stage. BUT... if they did a film? Something "different" but similar? Oh hell I'd totally do/buy that. If they released RSC's Hamlet on DVD I'd buy that too... but... The memories I have from it are so much more than the DVD can do.
XD;;; See below! :D

It's a bit tricky to post pics/links when I'm away from the regular computers - esp. when I'm doing the corporate gig. I don't want to leave tracks on their servers, so I have to be a bit sneaky. That and I get interrupted All The Time there. Makes it a bit difficult.

Date: 2009-01-10 08:53 pm (UTC)No. They just need to clear the restriction on the activation server. You should be fine. The current problem appears to be that the temp file the script uses for activation is missing and that your partition information has changed so the second process (activation server validation is failing).
You can't activate too many times. You can trigger activation too many times with a different partition makeup but as long as you can prove you bought the software, you're legit. You bought a license, not a license for a specific machine.
You're legal.
The only time you run into trouble is when you buy OEM OS licenses which are tied to hardware.
