Well, it’s been video week, and I finally made a quick little video at the end of it. This was made by clipping some frames from The Prisoner episode 9 “Checkmate” using MPEGStreamclip, exporting them to a folder. I first tried them as a GIF, but didn’t like a GIF that stopped. But I recalled […]
While watching the various episodes of The Prisoner, I’ve noticed that the Village newspaper, “The Tally Ho”, usually has nice clear headlines, but it is difficult to read the stories. Since it would not be reasonable to read while the video is running, I have clipped several examples from individual frames. First, one must realize […]

It was easy to get started and get going. I want to understand something about the overall structure of a web page, else I am never going to be able to make my village hideaway cosy and comfy.

Yes, Jim. You are on the money and John is finally getting me to do more than just copy and paste code I kind of understand but not really! Cheers, John!

Melanie Barker’s post about the many possible Prisoners and Villages #prisoner106 might be referring to reminded me of a similar experience I had during the Christmas of 2001. I come from a very large Irish Catholic Long Island family. There … Continue reading →
