Our world, our little world, not the big one, the one everyone inhabits, but our little world is totally upside down. The
COVID-19 has reached our shores, everyone's shores, and thus life has changed for everyone, for me, for you, for everyone. In our case, the
Pygmalion's premiere we've been working for all these months has been postponed until much, much later, probable July or August, even that cannot be a precise date. We must remain indoors for most of the time, that's what I know. It doesn't matter if we're in Seattle, New York, La Paz, Milan or Zürich. It is practically the same. We're all in this together. Right?
As I said to
Ralphus in a recent exchange,
things have gone medieval on us, like the worst days of 1347 but affecting the entire planet, our main concern now is to survive, period.
To make matters worse, one of our favorite sites, The GIMP site, has suffered a terrorist attack by mother hackers, they are worse than mother fuckers.
As you can see, if you go to
The Gimp Forum:
http://ralphus.net/thegimpforum/index.php
it is coming back and it will be back in full force.
Some years ago, the
GIMP site went through a big setback. Amy went to the rescue and set it up all over again, from scratch. The preferred Guestbook system was respected, many fans of the forum wanted it that way. It was not Ralphus resisting the change. Once again the site is going through a total revamping because of the activities of useless human beings who have no other purpose in life but to fuck things up for others.
Maybe the time to change the format has come. The Guestbook format that was in use is, still, part of hundreds of thousands of websites. It is basic in its format, even though with time there were some improvements and additions and it works well, as long as hacker fuckers don't fuck with it. The Board/Forum format, such as the Crux Forum, have the membership system which allows administrators to either accept, reject and delete members and approve or reject posts. It's more difficult but not impossible to hack.
Hosting services, in some cases, are open to hackers. It means, their firewalls are not effective or in place. That's something The Geeks at work are looking into. Let's hope for the best!
I keep all my posts to the GIMP and elsewhere in archive, with the discussions therein. Sometime ago I was experimenting with a section at
Red Feline Pictures, I called it
Margot's Chronicles I think I'll revive that concept. The link below will take you there so you'll know what I'm talking about.
Well, at this very moment
Amy is in
New York to present her first film,
Sirwiñakuy, at the
CineKink NYC festival.
She left Thursday morning at 5 AM, via Bogotá and arrived, safely into JFK at exactly 8 30 pm. She spent seven hours in Bogotá ... She's very excited, of course, to the point that the whole idea of going to New York to show off her first baby made her forget the rough three days she had shooting the public flogging scene in
Dead But Dreaming. She still has the marks.

Thank you for the comment!
As the entire planet knows, everything came to a dramatic halt. It happened to us too. So, the third part of the
CruXtreme Series is at a stand still. No shooting. Both, Dani and Jac, are staying at their respective homes, taking care of themselves, their families and critters. All production work has been postponed indefinitely. We will concentrate on the work that is in post production and we will take advantage of this time to release many of those shelved productions.
Since most people must remain indoors, with nothing much to do, I'm thinking that maybe the time is here for some binge watching of our films... So:
