If you naven't reviewed it, go ahead and do it.  I haven't had time to do much more than think and make a note or two.  If I'd had time, I'd have put another entry into the contest: what happens when Midlich and Forsa go into The Academy to withdraw some of Kirsey's gold.  The scene I envision--which might not happen--has Threckesrom rescuing them from his bed.

Whether I could do it a thousand words is another matter.

I just remembered what a physicist once told me: the difference between a physicist and a chemist is that a chemist washes his hands before he goes to the bathroom.

There are internal inconsistancies in the MS file formats.  If you try to use two different sets of controls on the formatting, you can get very unexpected and unreasonable results.

This, by the way, is why many people in the Open Source community believe that Penfield Jackson was right and Kotter-Kelly was wrong.  The MS file formats are not as precisely defined as a standardized programming language, and are effectively defined only by the MS proprietary programs that write and read them.  (The new C++ standard will be over 1300 pages and, in spite of 100,000s of hours of work, will surely have a few hundred holes.  It's hard to cover all the cases.  Look up 'Koenig Name Lookup'.)

Thanks!

I've probably soldered 5,000 connections, and desoldered maybe 800, and I've never had to put a fire out.

Part of the credit goes to the electronics industry and the safety standards they meet with self-extinguishing and flame-retardent materials, but the point is made.  Landlords should forbid deep-frying chicken, not low-energy hobby electronics.

What I'd like to argue is that nothing I have or do is as dangerous as frying chicken.

I just looked at Rosebud Lives by Adrian Langford.  I opened the first inline review (mobile interface).  About the first half of the items showed up with expansions.  The others I had to click on.

What, you never saw Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House?

Nice.  'X' for eXpanded?  I think I'll take off my request to others not to inline their reviews.

Have the problems with overlapping comment zones been fixed?

Now, can we have a setting to put the X-display up as a personal default?

Followup thought on the last review you did for me: When you find a logic bomb or plot hole, treat it like a lemon and make lemonade.  Or make it an error a character must learn from.

Kickstarter is already used for publishing.  The Girl Genuis people (Professor and Professora Foglio of Transylvania Polygnostic U ) use it to finance their print collections.  They've got a vid out on the GG site now for their next volume ("We must buy great big barrels of Perfect!").

I've heard of something called something like MacKinson Triple Stout.  The fellow who described it said it was a bit thicker than motor oil.
