Welcome to the new-look, 24-7, it's not a blog - honestly! - Tachyon TV. You'll never have to wait a month between issues ever again!
News stories will appear as they happen! You wouldn't believe the amount of out-of-date Pope dying/Eccleston resigning stories I had clogging up my hard-drive in the run-up to the next regular monthly issue. This way I can report in real-time, rather than wait like an antiquated, albeit quaint, publication like, oh, I dunno; SFX.
You can still contribute to Tachyon TV and each and every news report will be fully credited to the author. So I'll have to stop pretending that all the good bits are mine...
Anyway, I hope you like it. We hope to give you at least a couple of news stories a week. Or your money back.
Given the (hopefully) rapid-fire exchange of bad puns it also means that we won't be running a mailing list anymore. If we did we'd probably end up annoying the hell out of you. However, you can still subscribe to the site via RSS and other new-fangled stuff like that.
This probably means it'll be the last time we'll get a plug on BBCi as well, but we'll just have to roll with the punches.
Enjoy - and feel free to post any feedback in the comments section of this post. Thanks.
Neil Perryman
Editor, Tachyon TV
Yo, where can I do the clicky-clicky to get an RSS feed of this to my Livejournal? 'cause that'd be "Fantastic!", et cetera, et cetera.
Looking forward to submitting stuff.

I'll sort out the RSS feed thing by the end of the week - I think Typepad generates a feed automatically but the help files aren't very, well, helpful.

Apparently Typepad doesn't offer an automatic RSS feed but you can use something called an aggregator to facilitate the same thing.
To quote the typepad help file:
"any desktop or web-based aggregator which reads RSS feeds is appropriate for use with TypePad"
Apparently you subscribe via the Syndicate this site link on the left.
To be honest I've never dabbled with RSS before. If anyone can offer any advice or confirm that they can subscribe to Tachyon in this way, then I'd be very grateful

A friend of mine has already created an LJ feed:

If you are using Firefox as your browser you can automatically add the RSS feed by clicking the icon in the lower status bar and saving the link as a Bookmark.
Hope that helps in the short-term

It works automatically in Safari 2.0 too.
I think anyone with a news reader or aggregator can subscribe to the xml rss feed (see link to left) but if anyone has any problems just let me know.

The new format looks great in ie but is dead in firefox :(
