Hello World!

I've had one of those days. It feels like I've spent most of the day in a queue.

Woke up this morning. Had to wait for someone else in the bathroom. Shuffled off to doctor's appointment, and predictably, got into a queue. Clutching my Hayfever-busting prescription, I got into another at the pharmacy. And then another at the supermarket where I went to grab some lunch.

I came home to call my ISP, to end up in a seemingly endless phone queue. To make matters worse, the "on hold" music was some vile early 90's Euro-Rave stuff.

Thankfully tomorrow, I should be in a queue of a slightly different nature. I'm off to a barbecue.

Trek Two Years Ago

Below are a selection of the most important headlines from TrekToday on Thursday June 22, 1999:

  • Berman Talks Trek's Future
    Star Trek Executive Producer Rick Berman was interviewed by The Star Trek Communicator:

    The next film has not been planned significantly enough to say that it will definately not be a Next Generation movie. I can't imagine that it will take more than a couple of years to get another film in production. I don't think the fans have to worry about not getting another Star Trek movie and I think they're going to get another Star Trek series in the couple of years. We are in development on it now. The new series is going to be substantially different from what we've seen. My instincts tell me that the new series will come before the next film.

    Two years later, we know that the next Trek Movie will indeed feature the TNG cast, and is set to start shooting this Autumn. Shortly before filming on Trek X starts, series V is due to premier on UPN as Enterprise.

  • Patrick Stewart Attends Film Openings
    The Captain Picard actor was seen attending some high profile fim showings including 'Disney's Tarzan' and 'Austin Powers II.' You can find a great phot of Stewart at the Tarzan premier, with Brian Blessed here.
You can find more stories from this day in our June 1999 archives.

Happy Birthday!
