kallistiiSorry I haven't been doing much here lately, but I have been doing two jobs. And my primary job knows about it...you see, a friend of mine who runs a computer security firm in Toronto introduced me to the people who a couple of years later hired me and brough me down to Charlotte. His firm had done some security work for my current employer...so, they needed some help on their Linux system...and who do they call? NO! Not the Ghostbusters! Me!
So have not gotten a lot of sleep...well, good sleep...I have been sleeping on an air matress, but it developed a leak....ARGGHHH...gotta replace it...then, I will have good sleep again!
But what I want to write about is something that is going to make our friend the Friar very happy...
"Producer Gale Ann Hurd (Hulk, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines) has signed a deal with the SCI FI Channel to produce the six-hour miniseries, Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars. The announcement closely follows another high-profile deal made recently by the SCI FI Channel with filmmakers Dean Devlin (Independence Day, Stargate) and Bryan Singer (X-Men, X2) to develop The Triangle, an eight-hour miniseries centered around the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle.
Based on Robinson's best-selling novel of the same name, Red Mars chronicles the epic adventure of the first hundred colonists on Mars and their perilous mission to create a new world. Author Robinson, a member of NASA's Mars Committee, will consult on the project, which will be written by Gregory Widen (Highlander, Backdraft). Currently in development, the project is slated to air in late 2004."
Maybe not as good as getting into the space program, but it's a good start!
