It's the wrong utility belt, Gromit!

Apparently Aardman animation are going to be making short Batman movies for Warner Bros.

I wonder how Wallace meets Clay-Face or Gromit V The Joker would work...

River's Story

The Doctor Who Confidential version of River Song's story (told as she saw it in her time line) is here:

I'm not sure it works as well as the original, a bit too sugary, but interesting.

Can someone with a smart phone please test that this links to my web site - I've somehow lost the file from the one I made a year or so ago.

Many thanks!

Thanks everyone - it works

Backing up OSX applications

I've been running into some problems with my iBook (including several crashes) that make me feel that the system is getting a little flaky. The trouble is that it's running OSX-10.4 and can't use anything later, so the only way to fix things will be to wipe the hard disk and reinstall OS-X. I don't have a backup that's recent enough to be even slightly useful, because I don't keep anything important on the laptop.

The main problem this gives me is a few relatively small applications that I don't have master disks for - mostly shareware I've registered etc., like a webcam app I use for my digital microscope.

The applications I want to save are not involved in the crashes, as far as I know.

Is there any simple way to back up individual applications and reinstall them? Can I just copy them to a memory stick or DVD-R and put them back later? Or is it more complicated?
