14th
4:31 p.m.
If a lifetime is 100 years, a Full HD recording at a bitrate of 44Mbit/sec would be about 16.5 PiB. Only three orders of magnitude above consumer accessibility.

9:45 p.m.
Red Dwarf X: Trojan. This, on the other hand, was fantastic! Perhaps low expectations are the key.
8:50 p.m.
Red Dwarf: Back to Earth: 3/10. Painfully self-conscious, empty and fanservish. Then it goes and downgrades parody to imitation, and again to Family-Guy-esque acting out scenes and lines from Blade Runner. All would be forgiven if it were more than slightly funny.
8:16 a.m.
Homeland is good; new Red Dwarf tonight!
12th
9:27 p.m.

24th
