Trivial amounts of sleep

Ever get the impression that everyone else is working far harder than you?

Well, I did today upon discovering that almost everybody did far, far more work over the holidays than I did. That's a worrying discovery. Nevertheless, I shall soldier vaguely onwards and hope I manage to scrounge together enough facts to get the grades my ego and I require.

That said, I've also done nothing tonight, mostly due to just being way too tired. I got out of bed this morning while the hours on the clock were still in single digits. That's just plain wrong. Still, as always, more sleep is what I need and less sleep is no doubt what I shall receive.

I could just keep rephrasing the fact that I need more sleep for the rest of this post, but since I feel I owe you (whoever “you” might be) slightly more than that, I'll give you a random piece of trivia.

When TV shows don't simply have a magical database for characters to get their answers from, you may sometimes see search-wise.net popping up on the hero's laptop. It's been used in Doctor Who, Torchwood and last night I spotted it in New Tricks. Thing is, it's not a real website. It's just a simple front (as clicking any link on the site will tell you) created to allow TV producers to show characters running searches and get the tailored results they want. The things you learn from browsing Wikipedia.
