As I mentioned when loony's trouble getting properly connected to the Internet, when his connection was straightened out (as it is now), I would try to get to updating the site for the first time of each day closer to midnight, to allow for more continual posting of news through the night. Now that loony's ISDN is in, I'm trying to keep to the new schedule, we'll see how well I keep it (my apologies if out of the Blue seems more (or less even!) coherent, now that it's not being written in the middle of the night).

To follow-up on something previously reported in this space: movies.IGN.com reports the Matrix to be sold on VHS after all, starting November 26 (thanks Ant). Woah!
