Regular Aardvark readers already know of my activities in the area of jet
engine design and most recently, my DIY cruise missile project.
Well it seems that the mainstream media have also discovered the website and
after the NZ Herald published a story yesterday, just about every news organisation
in the world has picked up on it and either rung or emailed me.
When I staggered from bed on Tuesday morning, having managed to catch just a
few hours of sleep, I found myself besieged by film crews and reporters, all
eager to get an interview and more information on a story that seems to
have grown like wildfire.
The Aardvark PC-Based Digital
Entertainment Centre Project
Yes, at last, this feature
has been updated again! (31 Mar 2003)
CNN, BBC, MSNBC, Associated Press and dozens of others have been on the case
and it looks like I'm not going to get very much else done today so this column-propper
will, out of necessity, be somewhat late in hitting the web.
As soon as the TV cameras have gone and phone interviews are over I'll
update the headlines and post today's column so check back later
today.
My apologies for the inconvenience.
If any Aardvark readers have an opinion on today's column or
want to add something you're also invited to chip in and
have your say.
Yes, You Can Donate
Although the very kind folks at iHug continue to generously sponsor the
publication of Aardvark, the bills still exceed the income by a fairly
significant amount. It is with this in mind therefore that I'm once
again soliciting donations from anyone who feels they're getting some
value from this daily column and news index. I've gone the PayPal
way of accepting donations because the time involved in processing a bunch
of little credit-card billings sometimes exceeds the monetary value they
represent. Just click on the button to donate whatever you can afford.
NOTE: PayPal bills in US dollars so don't accidentally donate twice
what you were intending :-)
