ABOUT THIS RESEARCHER

Created: 13th May 1999 
James Casey

IRL

Have a shufti at the 'official' James Casey site de web.

To Do List

These articles are probably going to get some attention:

  • The Bible (still far from happy with the 'official' version, which I note has in my absence been renamed 'The Bible: A Perspective').
  • Maybe do some more on this Latin Project
  • Do some stuff regarding places I've been to, or things I now know more about. The sort of stuff the Guide is - to me - really about; raw information.

Problem of course is one of time. Rather busy these days with writing.

Another problem is how irritated I still get at the urban myths that surround some of my favourite subjects (usually acting or ancient history-related) on the Guide's Edited Articles.

Lordy Mama

It has been pointed out to me that a relatively new acquaintance, young Miss Juliette Losq, has a rather excellent website wherein she exhibits, virtually, if you will, a remarkable set of samples of her artwork. It's an online gallery.

There's Still Life, portraits, landscapes and something else... oh, yeah; life studies.

The biography page tells you about her time at Newnham College, Cambridge and the Courtauld Institute.

Why can't the Guide be a little more like the Guide in the books insofar as entries seem to be trying too much to be factual and lacking character?

Opinion is nearly always inseparable from 'fact', so all the 'according to this researcher' stuff dotted around this website's official entries seems a bit too... I dunno. It puts a wall between the Guide and the User.

I mean, the Guide doesn't always have to be RIGHT, of all things, does it? Can't someone use the Guide to find a restaurant, but disagree with the Guide on whether the Beluga caviar is exquisite or not?

If a User reads on the Guide that the food in such-and-such a place is very good, that User's going to be a twit if they think 'Well then that's indisputable fact'.

Tomorrow, that is. Hoping to watch X-Men 2 at around 12; Leicester Sq with any luck. Then a meeting at Alomo Productions in the afternoon.

A company likes it and is taking out an option on it. Hooray.

Going to see this tonight - the evening before it opens worldwide!

I think it goes without saying I am rather excited.

On the tube back from seeing 'Gladiator' this evening, Michael Portillo got on the train from Oxford Circus to Victoria. I suppose that makes him famous.

He clearly wanted to introduce himself to me, but was too shy.
