Now I need info from the Wavy Navy re your readers/devices/computers…

…so I can format the files that go into the downloads. For example are you using PC or Mac, give the OS (just in case: I don’t think I need to know, but..)—if you are using your computer as a reader? Are you using Kindle, Sony, or some other kind of reader? Are you using Palm, Droid, or [...]

More progress: I am actually building e-books…

It’s futzy. But I’m gaining on it, learning as I go. I’m going to blow up and erase a lot of copies until I get it to my liking, but my plan is to use one of my several processors to convert HTML to PDF, use Mobi Pocket Creator to create a mobi book, then [...]

Nothing like spotting a potential emergency outside when you first wake up…

I look out and all our koi are out swimming. This can be very bad. We lost Rukia to hypothermia, and random swimming is a symptom. I got online and googled “koi premature waking”, “koi wintering”, and half a dozen other phrases and finally got one article that hinted they do sometimes get a little [...]

Progress on Hellburner scan…a convenient ‘check-here’ of what’s been done.

Thank you in every case. You are keeping me sane. Dekker has nothing on me while simultaneously writing the ending of a book, handling a total file reorganization to find out what I DO have, decorating for the holidays, and trying to get the CC site online (we are soooo close!) plus get e-books in [...]

Have a good Thanksgiving…

Be it a hamburger at McDonalds, a mega-spread at gran’s, you’re cooking for 20, or just spending a cozy day doing nothing—have a very good Thanksgiving. And a special Thanksgiving to those dedicated police, fire, transportation, city services and medical folk who are snatching a hamburger while keeping civilization going: thanks to service people at home and abroad; thanks [...]

Solar tsunamis: neat stuff.

http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2009/24nov_solartsunami.htm?list213621 Wouldn’t want to be on Mercury when one of those hiccups goes off.

Coming, as e-books.

Rider at the Gate, Cloud’s Rider. Rimrunners. Tripoint. Finity’s End, Goblin Mirror, Rusalka, Chernevog, Yvgenie. They won’t be the only ones. Don’t expect them all to appear at once, and that’s not the order in which they will appear. Remember it takes us some deal of time to get them into format, working late in the evenings AFTER [...]

The filk last night…

…went pretty well. And I played about 5-6 pieces and screwed up a bit, but my fingers have no blisters, thanks to several days of noodling around and getting my fingers used to the idea. Considering I only remembered F, G, A, E, and D, D7 yesterday morning, I did pretty well last night. What [...]

a progress report…102000 words, and I’m writing the ending…and CC…

If anything can go wrong, it will, according to Murphy. But we are making progress. We have taken all your input on CC, we put it in a bag, shook it, and came out with a set of recommendations. We were getting going—and then Lynn broke her finger, of all things, walking home after having [...]

Great Western Fireball…

JCrowell sent me the link. Check out the security cam videos as well. Quite something. I’d thought it would be a larger Leonid (the current meteor shower) but NASA thinks otherwise. http://www.spaceweather.com/
