PEP! Update

I’m in the closing stages of putting together PEP! issue 2, as well as (FINALLY!) getting issue 1 out in print form (1 and 2 will be coming out simultaneously in print). It will contain: Bill ‘P(il)lo(c)k’ Ritchie on Thomas Kuhn, synaesthesia and peer-to-peer sharing Gavin Burrows also on peer to peer sharing Gavin Robinson [...]

Linkblogging For 16/03/10

Firstly, an update on Print PEP! for those who are wondering why it’s taken so long: Simply, my Scribus problems escalated – at some point a system update replaced a load of my fonts with similarly-named ones, and confused it enough that I didn’t just have to redo the last 15 pages and add in [...]

PEPlans!

I know the paper copy of PEP! 1 has not yet come out (due to EBKAC problems at my end – it will be out within a couple of weeks), but plans are well underway for PEP! issue two. A short list of what’s been proposed for the issue – bear in mind that *NONE* [...]

PEP is here!

This is a ‘beta’/proof version – the authors have yet to give feedback (and there’s one article where I had to cut a handful of words and the author may change that before the final print version), but it’s finally done. Click the image to read it.

PEP!… THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS!

I have just finished typesetting issue one of PEP! and, after I’ve watched a Doctor Who story, will be uploading the PDF to the site, so expect it sometime between midnight and 1AM UK time. I’m uploading an unproofed version, which will be freely available for download to anyone who wants to read it, In [...]

Quick PEP! Taster

Twenty random, out-of-context lines from PEP! 1, which will be appearing in a day or two (I’ve almost finished the typesetting): History is, to fundamentally disagree with Alan Bennett, very much not “just one thing after another”; it is a method of organising events into patterns and as such is at least as dependent on [...]

PEP! Cover First Look

This might change, depending on reaction, and how it looks in the finished PDF/print copies, but I thought something like this… (Part of the problem I’m having with this is getting all the good material into few enough pages while leaving it readable and well-designed. At the moment it’ll require charging $16 for the paper [...]

PEP! Progress

With a couple of days to go til the deadline for writers, the articles for my new magazine PEP! (Politics, Entertainment and Pthings) have started coming in, so I thought I’d give you a rundown of what I know for certain will be in there. I’ll be writing linktext throughout, and I’ll be doing a [...]

PEP! Politics, Entertainment And Pthings…

I was going to leave announcing this a little longer, but the Mindless Ones have announced their new format and I didn’t want to look like I’m copying them – or indeed Alan Moore, who is also doing something similar to this… For about a month now I’ve been planning a new colour glossy POD [...]
