Resolving Time Problems
December 19, 2011 in Blogs
I lost part of today to something more on the order of a general malaise than an illness, and am looking at a clock ticking down the final minutes of my available time while thinking of all the things I wanted to do before that time expired. (I am also looking at a new version of this posting software which does not appear to permit me to type in HTML, which is frustrating me; but I remain a minority in that preference, I expect, so the fact that I can’t see how to switch to coding is probably because the designers don’t want me to. I am reminded of a restaurant that went bankrupt a few years back because the perhaps arrogant celebrity chef who created the recipes refused to allow salt and pepper on the table with which the customers might spoil the perfect flavoring of his creations.)
In any case, the solution to my time problems I fear is that I will be leaving as soon as I finish this post, and dealing with the forums tomorrow.
I have also resolved most of the time problems in Warlock (oh, look at that–it appears that the coding appears in-line when you click the buttons; I can handle that) with the penultimate Examiner temporal anomalies article in the series, Warlock part 7: return, which explains what problems Redferne might cause when he travels to his own time, and why it must not be a problem. There is one more, which will come on Thursday, and then I’ll turn my attention to Blackadder Back & Forth on Monday.
Eric Ashley continues to be prolific. We had some discussion about whether a self-destruct in a lifeboat made sense, but otherwise Practise Bits: Exile was an action-packed and compelling story. It was followed by Practise Bits: Exile 2, which is the first article to be posted in our new “Fiction” category, and I admit that I am as surprised as the character that he survived what was described and seems not to have broken anything important. Then, moving away from the fiction category, he gives us his opinions on several authors in C.J. Henderson; John Ringo; Andrew Klavan; Rick Riordhan, mostly favorable.
