I love this! and also with a backstory….claiming credits units seems a little cheeky though ?
I am interested in your choice of moment. I thought about this gloved hand moment as comic too and yet did not make the link to turn it into a comic. Clever!…
After finding some old photos I dug around the apartment some more and found a page of an old comic:
Something told me this was no ordinary comic, I sneaked into the General’s room and, with shaking fingers feed it into the machine:
As the paper emerged I grabbed …
I’ve settled down in my apartment now. Poking around in different corners I found some old photos of the Village, I’ve put them on the corkboard in the kitchen. I suspect they were taken by a previous resident, the photos look quite old, maybe 40 or 50 years I’d guess, …
No dark sarcasm in the classroom.
General, leave that kid alone.…
This reminder to do the Daily Create is much appreciated.…
While certain aspects of The General seemed familiar on my first watching this week, I recall being surprised when David Kernohan tweeted out about this poster and the education-themed episode back in June. I’d certainly not remembered there was an education-focused episode at the time, and am ready to go …
All the dreaming and reflection is paying off!
This new glitch poster making will help influence residents sub-consciusly. Hmmm….sometimes the quiet ones are the most dangerous ones. I will be reporting to the hospital that you are just in your bungalow watching TV. Or will I?…
Interesting happenings in the village this week, there seem to be a lot of ‘learning’ going on. As I watch number six get into trouble I am thinking my decision to be less confronting was a good idea. However this episode is taking the committee well inside my wheelhouse. …

As I had to get up early this morning I though I might make good use of my time. I popped into the Village shop and bought a screwdriver.
I wanted to have a closer look at the TV in my accommodation after last night’s blip.
I also need …
For week two of prisoner106, one of the job we were asked to do was to take over the morning announcement for the Village for a day. Amid the recent disruptions I hope I can calm things down a bit.
Here is mine:

Announcement trumpet ripped …
As I’ve mentioned I’ve been mostly keeping to my lodgings in The Village, not going out, thinking and dreaming.
Sometimes when I am half awake, watch tv, strange things happen.
There might be a clue in this ds106 Assignments as to what is going on, and I guess that …
As we move into Week 2 and get more information, it appears that a major theme in The Prisoner is repetition (a long with reflection and recursion I hope).
Before I start thinking about the audio assignments, I knocked up a few gifs from The Chimes of Big Ben…
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
George SantayanaI’ve got news for Mr. Santayana: we’re doomed to repeat the past no matter what. That’s what it is to be alive.

I though I was hitting week one in the village running, I’ve …
Here is the village there is a constant battle to avoid giving any information away. From a ds106 Assignments should come with information, a prisoner106 dilemma?
To start making good the many assignments with a lack of supporting information here, I’ve made a few brief tests on exporting gifs and …
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 …
Last night Tina put an idea in my head.
We escaped
Then have a radio road trip:
Rocking along to #DS106Radio
When I woke up I rubbed my eyes and went to the window:
No information, this assignment is not a number.
(I miss the opportunity to change the car …
I guess this is ds106 Assignments: Say It Like the Peanut Butter.
I am not going to describe my methods, as I’ve done that before.
Tools: Handbrake, MPEGStreamclip, Fireworks.
I’ve not really touched base with others in the village, I am now 4 episodes in, head in a …
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 …
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 …
Apologies for the large size of this gif 1.5MB, but 52 frames!
The offshoot of ds106 that is #giffight has given me a lot of fun. Every so often the giffight tumble posts an image with the invite for anyone to use it to create an animated gif from. …
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 …
Now this is weird.
Given we can’t waste time I dug out a processing script I’d used before. I can’t recall where I got the original, or what changes I made, but it looks like I simplified it a lot and exported a series of frames to gifs. Stitched these …
When you have been in this game as long as I have you get a little slow. No way I can keep up with the young operatives without cutting some corners.
We were asked to keep an eye on Davey Gordon a pug without much of a chin. I looked …
You better watch your step.
Those guys over the pond are pretty dangerous, not just demanding! Make sure you get that dame Tina to watch your back.
I am watching closely and on the trail of this Frank guy……
Nice to find you and your work!…
So Burtus was on my case pretty fast last week, trying to get a fix on me. I guess I didn’t drop enough clues. The deal was I should reveal some history, some of my favorite places, that might have given her a clue. For the folk less agile that …
It’s Late, it’s Noir
I flew in from a week south of the border the other night and took the long drive home. Waiting in my messages were a couple of odd ones. Burtis, Bond and Groom making unreasonabled demands.
I was going to ignore it, not let these three …
Just a quick test of my supercutting. Logo added with Quicktime pro.
The Big Steal describe by Wikipedia as:
a 1949 American black-and-white film noir/comedy reteaming Out of the Past stars Robert Mitchum and Jane Greer. The film was directed by Don Siegel, based on the …
