So, as you're my patrons, you get a slightly more personal, self-indulgent, load of waffle from me than I tend to post on Digitiser. So, here we go.
Firstly, thanks for your responses on my last post. That was deeply gratifying. I've not gone back to the potential advertising agency yet, mainly be...
2018-04-16 10:17:22 +0000 UTC View PostHello Patrons!
Thanks again for sticking around. Now... a few things. Firstly, the Digitiser The Show Kickstarter ends in a couple of days. If you can - please spread the word wherever you can. We need that final push.
Secondly, and this is between us, I've been approached about putting adve...
2018-04-06 05:55:30 +0000 UTC View PostSo, at the minute... I'm in possibly the busiest time of my yearly work cycle. The way it tends to shape out for me is that work starts winding down over the summer, the autumn months are the quietest, there are rumblings of work picking up in December, it kicks off in Jan, and then it's flat out fr...
2018-03-27 09:39:32 +0000 UTC View PostHello, Patrons!
If you're at a loose end this evening, and fancy watching me playing a mix of old, weird, and just plain wrong games in support of Digitiser The Show, you can find me on YouTube at 8pm. Where? Here: 2018-03-25 16:34:10 +0000 UTC View Post
Don't tell everyone else, but you lot are my special favourites.
You've probably seen that the Kickstarter for Digitiser The Show is now live. If you fancy pledging, and grabbing some sweet rewards, here's the link: https://www.kick...
2018-03-09 08:10:28 +0000 UTC View PostHello Patrons!
Thanks for sticking with me for another month. Obviously it means a lot in particular this month given that I'm about to launch another round of begging for money.
However, the fact that we've even reached a point where I could consider doing a second Kickstarter - for Digitis...
2018-03-02 16:01:08 +0000 UTC View PostHello boys and girls. Been a while, so I thought I'd drop you a line.
The last couple of weeks have been manic. I'm simultaneously writing on two CBBC shows - one of which I'm showrunning, so it means reading other writer's scripts and giving notes, going to auditions, watching casting videos, and...
2018-02-22 13:02:04 +0000 UTC View PostHola!
Hopefully I'll be seeing a few of you at Play Expo Blackpool this coming Saturday. I'm only going to be there the one day, but somehow my time is mostly going to be spent having meetings about various upcoming projects, so between those, an interview, and my panel, I'm not sure how muc...
2018-02-06 10:08:53 +0000 UTC View PostHello, y'all! So, thought I'd fill you in on what's happening with my other job, as that's something I'd never usually cover on Digitiser2000.
I'm currently writing episodes for the EIGHTH series of CBBC's 4 O'Clock Club, which is quite remarkable. This series will feature our 100th episode ...
2018-01-27 08:46:47 +0000 UTC View PostHey-yo!
By now you might've seen the promo image I've put together for Digitiser: The Show. Here it is, look:
That's a working title. Somebody suggested The Digitiser Show, and somebody else suggest...
2018-01-25 10:46:53 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I thought I'd tell you a little more about where we're at with the proposed Digitiser YouTube show, as plans are moving forwards.
The aim is to make something that's rather more accessible than Found Footage - but still imbued with the spirit of Digitiser. It'll effectively be a magazine show,...
2018-01-18 12:10:27 +0000 UTC View PostHello Patrons! Thanks for sticking with me for another month. January is always a loin-watering time for most of us, financially speaking, so I do appreciate it.
Anyhow... in the wake of the past 12 months or so, and having taken some time off over Christmas to unwind from it all and reflect, I'm ...
2018-01-10 15:01:44 +0000 UTC View PostHello all! Happy new year. How was yours? Did you have a good one? My was nice, despite coming down with a cold and a cough on Christmas Eve, and my eldest daughter having real bad ear ache.
I'm back at work now, inevitably, which fills me with as little enthusiasm as it does you, no doubt. ...
2018-01-04 11:02:14 +0000 UTC View PostChristmas! I'm planning to take next week off from doing Digi, though there might be a few Memory Assistant tweets along the way. I hope that's okay with all of you.
Huge thanks for everyone sticking with Patreon through the recent Patreongate nonsense - thankfully, the outcry was such, as you mig...
2017-12-20 12:46:57 +0000 UTC View PostOne of the toughest things about writing for a living is receiving script or story notes. Ask any writer.
I delivered a draft of something yesterday, and received an email back assuring me that the producer would turn the notes around quickly. I felt a familiar sinking feeling in the darkest...
2017-12-06 10:34:12 +0000 UTC View PostHey, kids! Just wanted to say thank you for contributing this month - and to welcome the new patrons. It means a lot, particularly at the moment.
Fortunately, there is a light at the end of the tunnel as far as my monetary woes go. I've been given a date for when I'll be paid for one of the jobs.....

Hello, Patrons!
Well, I am doing this: another blog for ye, with an update on all things happening in the Biffo-verse.
Some of you might’ve seen hints at this, but I’m tentatively planning on directing something else early in the new year. It was the idea of Chris Bull...

Hello Patrons!
Well, might as well shove my words where my other words are, and give you some sort of exclusive update.
I rarely talk about my day job on Digi. There are two reasons for this…. 1) I don’t think most of what I write for CBBC will be of much interest to y...
2017-11-24 14:37:40 +0000 UTC View PostI know I don't post to Patreon ever, but I thought it was important to thank you all for your continued support. A lot of you have been backing me here for a good few years now, and I just wanted you to know that it is never taken for granted.
With Found Footage, this year has been chal...

2016-03-31 06:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostHello, lovely Patrons. After a year-and-a-bit of near constant Digi2000, I'm actually daring to take my first proper holiday in a few years, over Easter. You might not even notice I'm gone - I'll hopefully keep the site stocked with stuff while I'm away, as usual... but it might be a bit less topica...

2016-01-31 00:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostHello! It's been a while since I addressed you all directly on here. Sorry about that; feedback seemed to suggest that you were all happy to be supporting Digi2000, wanted that to be my focus, and didn't much worry about perks. Nevertheless, I'm going to try to be a bit better this year at offering ...
