Stumbled across this today

If you are a fan of spoofs or conspiracy theory it may be of interest

In 1977 a UK documentary series Science Report was being decomissioned

So as a final episode they decided to do a spoof story using the same reporter as the genuine editions

It was due to be broadcast on April fools day - but got delayed

Anglia TV later revealed the program was a hoax (or was it!)

Hi Folks,

My name is Markus and i´m a die hard FPW-Fan for more than 3 Years now.
After i had finished reading Nightworld 1 Week ago, i had the idea of doing a pic that´s somehow is related and inspired by FPW/Repairman. And i wanted to test my new "ebayed" graphic-tablet too.

So enjoy it, my fellow-readers.

with the best regards,

Markus

If you're a collector or simply a geek who craves excruciating detail about every edition, foreign and domestic, of everything I've written, look for the download near the top of this page: http://repairmanjack.com/reference.htm#bibliography

I really enjoyed the last two repairman jack books twice after listening to the audiobook after I read the hard cover copy.

Any chance of us seeing the past books (which I have them all and already read) in audiobook cd or Mp3 format as well? I would like to enjoy them all over again this way.

I have watched the USA TV Show "Burn Notice" and was very interested on how the main character Michael, has the personality and the same traits as the Jack character in Wilson's Novels. I think this is some what a rip off of a great character in a very fast paced novel series. I still like The Jack Series over the TV show but you be the judge and check it out On USA. The new season starts mid January.

I picked up a copy of Blood Lite, an anthology of humorous horror edited by Kevin J. Anderson, over the weekend and I just finished "The Sound Of Blunder" written by FPW and J.A. Konrath. It is quite funny as well as being an impressive anatomy lesson. One question though, just how much libation was used in the creation of this story-I think you may have exceeded the recommended limit?

being a total loser and total nerd, i've started making a mix of songs that, for some reason or another, remind me RJ. ill try and put it up on a torrent site for download, and if i work up the patience to post it on here, i shall. soooo i guess stay tuned?

I've deleted this post because bits and pieces - mostly out of context - are popping up all over the net, with headers to the effect that I say the film "stole" my Joker. You here know me better than that.

This was meant as a conversation between us, in our house, not all over the web. So I've taken it down.

But you can still download the story: [SIZE=3]http://www.repairmanjack.com/support files/JOKER-set.rtf.[/SIZE]

I just thought I'd share this with the community, maybe some more folks will find it interesting.

There is a bio for F. Paul Wilson at IMDB.com. If you follow some links in that bio, you can find information about film and TV works he's been a part of.

From the respective pages about each episode or film, you can click through on the IMDb site, to locate the item via Amazon.com. If the item is currently available with Amazon's "Video on Demand" service, you can either watch the item online or download it for watching with (e.g.) Windows Media Player, or any portable device supporting the WMV format (which, I think, iPods might, if you load the thing up in iTunes first, then tell iTunes to convert it to be capable with an iPod -- using the right-click context menu, with the video loade up in itunes -- this is a guess, though).

Just some tips, on that end:

1) To get the full functionality of this, you have to download and install the Amazon Unbox player. It's quick and simple. You can get to the download page for it, by following the appropriate links starting at one of the video-on-demand in-web-browser players.

2) When you install the Unbox player, be sure to tell it that you have a portable media device, so that it will ... so that it'll do whatever that does, presumably then making it possible to download the video files.

3) Once you've purchased an episode or film with Video on Depand, it should give you an option to either watch it online or download it. The episode I downloaded, it only allowed you to do one or the other and not to change your decision later -- I presume this is probably not an unusual configation.

4) Once you would've selected the "download" link, then after you start the unbox player, the thing you just purchased should be listd in your unbox library, and should be marked as "ready to download".

5) The downloading can take a bit of time, but once it's done, you've got the video right there, right, with no possibility of drop-outs or lag as would be due to network congestion.

6) do make sure that you've got enough space on the destination disk for you unbox player download directory, before downloading. I'd recommend at least two gigs, availalbe, though I haven't seen what this service has to offer. )Two gigs does it, with space left over, for ipod-capable backup of a DVD.)

You'll have to select the download directory, in the initial Unbox player configuration, and it can be reconfigured later after right-clicking on the unbox icon in the windows system-tray, then selecting the appropriate menu options.

It's too easy.

I mean, seriously, once you're comfortable with it, it's a really easy way to get in touch with some video made after great writing ... and after the results that occur after it all goes through the TV or film production process, granted, in any single occurrence..... I guess it's all a part of the program, so to speak.
