    The end of week one is drawing to a close. Though it is only Tuesday, I must wrap up and pause. Teaching two five-hour classes on Wednesday, rendezvous in small-town Virginia Thursday, retreat in rural Tennessee Friday and Saturday, and long slog back on Sunday. But, prisoner106 will be on my mind, like a briefly […]

If you’ve seen GNA’s original photo with her Goonies coin, and if you understand the “Be Seeing You” reference from The Prisoner, you can see where I’m going with this one.

    Since I arrived at the village, I’ve done little but stayed in my room dreaming and listening to the radio. Today I visited the office for the first time, picking up my badge, rather hynotic, and essential supplies (fonts and the like). I filled out my information card too (click to expand), taking the time […]

    June 14, 2015
    My interest in revisiting The Prisoner and #prisoner106 this summer has also been somewhat piqued by the coincidental arrival of a new television series, Wayward Pines (Wikipedia entry, Official website) on Fox. The first episode has a Secret Service agent awakening in a remote town with limited memory of how he arrived there and where everyone seems […]

    In a continued attempted to find meaning in Prisoner106 I am continuing to analyse the first reel of the surveillance footage by various means. I had previously downloaded Videogrep a tool for making supercut videos from video and subtitle (.srt) files. First I had to find a subtitle file for the video. As usual with […]

    I’ve resigned myself to Prisoner106, this looks so far like an interesting twitter account and lovely webpage. No schedule or anything else I’ve seen which give us free range to explore the village. I decided to go all in for £17.90! Given I want to watch this on my commute I am afraid the first […]

    The DailyCreate Bot I’ve always liked random and automated random things. While these are not strictly part of storytelling I’ve managed to bring them into DS106 whenever I can. A while back I set up @DailyCreateBot for some reason or other. Obviously a Twitter bot of some kind to do with the Daily Create. I […]

    With all the great in-browser software emulation emerging over the last few years I thought I’d take a cue from Jim regarding The Prisoner game released for Apple II and see if I could find an emulated version. 30 minutes into my search I not only found .dsk files for both The Prisoner and The Prisoner […]

    I’m thrilled Talky Tina suggested the 1960s U.K. TV series The Prisoner as the theme for this summer’s open version of ds106 for two reasons: 1) it’s a brilliant show, and 2) it’s a welcome opportunity to get back in the … Continue reading →
