We know there’s some work being done on the server, —one chap had IE unable to find the site and we want to be sure it’s a fluke, not a major problem.
Has anybody had any difficulty getting onto Closed Circle or downloading?

No problem using Chrome to front page and then to Closed Circle. Back to frontpage and then to this blog and comment.
Perhaps the user should not use IE!
The site is much quicker than previously showing the work that has been done.

Got in just fine just now.
No problem using FF 10.2
Downloaded your Freebies OK.
Previously reported hang on the imagerotator appears fixed.
No others issues.
Same as bob, no prob.
I just brought up IE8 and had no problem. Closed IE8 again. I’m on Vista 32-bit home premium and haven’t updated IE beyond version 8.
No trouble on FireFox 10 with surfing the site; haven’t tried downloading yet.
And Jane has fixed the pictures!
All the Closed Circle titles are showing their covers in the top left, and the anti-piracy page now has the right pictures of Jane’s books showing clearly.
It just loaded fine for me from the sidebar – I use Firefox (3.6.8).
Upgrading sites seems to be nearly as complicated as updating bathrooms – tho perhaps less messy!
More Messy believe me!
Files, Folders and Directories scattered all over the place. And if you get interrupted in the middle of it … it can become a nightmarish untangleable tangle or like trying to Humpty-Dumpty back together again … scrambled egg everywhere!
I had no problem either!
Pretty, Pretty, Pretty! I log in from your sidebar or Jane’s as a matter of course, using IE.
Using latest Firefox, I got the Freebies with no issues.
I just this now bought a copy of Intruder from the website through Paypal and had ningún problemas.
Still working great as usual, with chrome. Either that or I don’t happen to be here when things go wonky. 🙂
Everything looks great here
THank you all—has to be a fluke.
We’re in good shape.
I’m using my evenings to get Yvgenie in shape, and Chernevog is in production, ie, being formated. This is a lengthy process involving checks and rechecks. We try, with intermittent success, to produce more glitch-free, prettier copy than some of the big publishers do.
CJ,
I just finished Intruder – and loved it. Can’t wait for the next one – I need more Cajeiri. Baen sells ARC copies of some books online for $15, so the die-hards get to read it 3-4 months before the release date. Any chance your publisher might go for that?
Yay! My hb of Intruder arrived a day ahead of Amazon’s shipping schedule.
I just reached ch. 15 of Invader (hah) so it’ll be awhile…but I’m back to reading and wanting to read and actually doing so again. Good, I’ve greatly missed it and I have a large stack of books besides the Foreigner series to read or reread.
BTW, re Amazon, I’m really not quite sure how a tribe of warrior women went from marauding the countryside to being shipping and trading magnates, but hey, everybody has to keep up with the times, right? Hahaha, I wouldn’t mind a bit if they *were* Amazon warrior women, though for myself, I’d prefer a nice warrior guy.
The Intruder cover looks very good. I liked the Whelan covers a lot and liked David C.’s covers for the Chanur books too. I’ve been trying to figure how I’d draw the atevi, and have decided I’d need to do a lot of sketches to get a truly alien look. They’re humanoid and yet, quite not, too.
Now that I’ve been reading the books, I see the atevi as sometimes a blending of nearly every oxy-breathing species in the Compact, in a way. Atevi can be fierce, elegant, thoughtful, “associative” (can’t say “friendly”), and so much more. A point on costuming: I feel that any artist (or movie costumer) would need to make sure the atevi clothes are not simply 18th century European wear, but very much something else, despite a few superficial similarities. (I’ve taken that, though, as intentional pointers to the French philosophes and English Enlightenment writers, with a generous helping of Japanese tradition, possibly Meiji era, thrown in. But…that would be a naive shorthand for what’s there.) The atevi are as or more alien than the Vulcans or Klingons, a very welcome depth of alien-ness.
