I have posted, and it's not showing up. I'll have to goose Sol again. (But first, I think, more edits.)
No, Chapter 2 on book one, the one with a very plain and enigmatic cover. (Your grandmothers might be able to read it.)
BBcode doesn't seem to be italicizing, either.
I'm a long way from that. Just trying to scope out what's out there. Thanks.
I wonder if there aren't two different motivations between the notion of a group: the ability to gather and share with people of like interest AND the ability to create closed communities with their own rules. They seem like the same thing but when you look at what they entail, the one building bridges and opening communication and the other building walls and closing gates they don't seem quite so similar.
Sol, this is the rewitten chapter: http://www.thenextbigwriter.com/content … /version/2 . Thanks for taking a look at this.
On the list of new works for review, could we add the date when it was put up and the chapter and revision, if any? Just to help us keep track?
Okay, I've edited a chapter of Sorcerer's Progress Book 1: Children and Beasts, creating a new version. Now I don't see it listed as updated anywhere. Is this because I don't see my own work on the highly personalized lists, or is there some magic utterance that I'm not seeing? I tried to follow the 1=>2=>3=>4 buttons, even creating a cover image (and the website did not respect my minimal print/display size) but I have no indication that the revised/reversioned chapter 2 is being presented to anyone.
Sol, do you mind if I send you two more screen caps with display anomolies?
Chapter 2 rewrite done and posted. I'm not sure I've done all as needs be done on this site, so let me know if you have trouble reviewing it. I have to catch up on a bunch of reviews in the next day or so.
I don't know if there's a way to upload an image to show here, an image that's not for a cover or an author pic.
If you're going to offer downloads, how about an open document format?
So Saundon and Behira became gods. Is that Faulter's goal? Mages were almost gods, except those who became gods? Was the Guildhouse the product of one mind and one Power, or of several? Is it a Genius Loci, or even the embodiment of some mage who forewent apotheosis?
Why do people who serve the Horrors call them "creator"? I have to think you're giving us a three-foot pie-in-the-face clue here.
Back to work. I finished the revised circuit layout before noon, and spent some time on shorthand practice reading. Now I'm working on Ch. 2. I'll do you Ch. 7 when I open the flaptop later.
Can/will Createspace allow both ebook and paper? With paper and Amazon who actually fulfills the orders? Does Amazon do it, or do you have to handle the individual orders?
It looks like the logout issue is fixed. Thanks, Sol, to you and the team!
No. It's now bloated up. I have to write it down. With luck I'll have two four-hour sessions today, if I don't spend more than about three on circuit layout. (The MOSFET output works. It does hit limits, but I can live with these.)
I'm a writer and a reader. A well-structured and well-indexed manual is far better for me than a video. With a video I have to keep my attention glued until it comes to what I need. Then my attention is fatigued and what I need goes by too fast.
Working Border Collies can run 100 miles a day, subject to weather. They need something to do. I don't know if Shetland Border is a different breed.
If you haven't read it, you might want to check out Eminent Dogs, Dangerous Men.
Some of us don't see it that way, JPL. The old site was perfect; the new site is the Vasa, which sank on its maiden voyage because of feature overload.
Sol, that unsorted list can be presented in pages, preferably with 30 to 100 items on each. The old way had given and received on the same page; I don't think it would be a great loss to split it.
I've just emailed you images for the angle-bracket bug, the summary-behind-image problem, and a cursor oddity that occurs using IE. Using Chrome, the cursor flips between arrow, text bar, and finger very quickly as you move it through the region in question.
Please let me know if the email doesn't show up, or if you need more info. I suspect that the two HTML-related problems may originate in the same area, but that's a guess from the outside.
Afraid of someone who's characters can kill entire cities and rip holes in the earth?
Nah.
And I have that loss of saturation on the brain. With a MOSFET output that wouldn't be necessary. I didn't think it would work, both because of circuit topology and because of the inherent capacitive load ... but it might. The numbers seem well within range.
Okay, something to work on, AFTER about 6 hours on SP ch 2, which has swelled to about 4k words.
Then I test the MOSFET approach. If it works I save 4 parts and 3 nodes, at the cost of laying the LED driver astable out again and maybe tweaking some values. But I could really use that space.
Not on the mobile interface, unless I'm confused about which is 'home'. Which might be.
The notice is not the same as the agreement when you join. Yes, I know that you don't have to open it to the internet, but I see that people are doing it and I'm concerned about whether that's wise.
Question for Sol: When you make something available on 'the internet', does the reader have to click on something acknowledging that the work's copyright is held by the author? If not, might any work made visible in that way later have its copyright challenged? Does the site put up any warning to the author?
What-- you don't write it? Or it's not creative enough?
Ah. A little hard to find. Still only 13 items per page, so if I'm away for a few days I have to click again and again.
But it's good to have it. With the forums I have to navigate to the group page where I see a list of forums, but not any indication of which have new messages. I need another click and another wait to get to the forum. It used to be one master page, which would tell me where I needed to look. Now it's a click to a page that lists a few forums, but does not let me see or do anything useful with them. (It might as well not be on that page.) Then it's a second click and a second page load to get to that subset of forums.
When you're not in the same building as the servers, page loads sometimes take a while. Sometimes they need to be retried.
Consider this a wish: a page one click away from home that shows you all your forums, with the ones with unread messages at the top. The restcan be organized by group.
Oh, quite right. I forgot they added that. Shows how long it's been.
Did they ever get rid of the blockdata statement? That was one of my interview questions for people who claimed to be Fortran aces. I don't recall one candidate who even came close.
I think the fairest way would be remember-the-max, but I won't argue too loudly. Remember, though, that some 'complexity' is unpredictability, which is why remembering and announcing the max would probably work well.
Now, a different question. When I've done six inline review items, I'm told that have now satisfied the requirements for the points payment. I don't know if the number depends on the size of what I'm reviewing, or whether what I put in the 'final' box will count towards my minimum. What if I want to call out two grammar oddities or one oddity and a hapex, and then bare my curmudeonly soul down below? Can I still earn review credit?
