I'm up to it and have nothing better to do except the reviews lined up ahead of you. Problem is, I don't have a keyboard. I'm working on the phone's touch screen. I'd hoped to get that fixed today, but there's a good chance it can happen tomorrow.

This time it's Vancomycin. The ER added Nosym, but the ID specialist dropped it.

I'm not sure you need to change Orson. Maybe change the second vowel, or double the 'n'?

I'm waiting now to be called for surgery: ultrasound via a probe through th veins to see if I need stents in either of the big veins draining my legs. That might explain why I've been so prone to these infections--and why this one is responding so slowly to treatment.

I am EAGER to do reviews. Remember, the patient gets bored! I need a break from investigating threshold crossing in exponential decay as the asymptote is varied.

Re: Hello (8 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Not social media, though there's a fair amount of banter. We're here to work. Many of us hope to have fun from the learning and sharing, and many of us do find pleasure in it. But the center is working together, not hanging out.

Re: The Sorcerer's Progress (1,528 replies, posted in Fantasy/Magic & Sci-Fi)
I am finally ensconced in the hospital. I'm on my second bag of vancomycin and a perpetual bag of neutral saline. I also had a bag of zosyn in the ED before the Infectious diseases specialist could cancel it.
I didn't bring my computer and reviews on the smartphone are impractical. I might get that rectified in a day or so, and if so I will begin reviews in earnest.

Re: Readers of THE HUNTING GROUNDS - I need some advice (19 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
I'm still a bit woozy with sickness, and there is some prejudice in my opinion.
If you have a light or redemptive outcome, blunt the sex scenes. See how much they want. But if the ending is dark, consider the erotic romance side--if they don't ask you to lard it with too much more sex than you had planned.

48 hours seems excessive, though. With all the terrific work the IETF has done, why would they create an "unusable or unsafe for two days" scenario?

Login fields aren't the issue. It's within the Secure HTTP machinery.
I just feel there has to be provision in the rfcs for pushing critical changes through. The site becomes unusable if your browser refuses to make an encrypted connection because it's not as sure as you are about the site.

On my mobile, Chrome won't allow the connection while the Android native browser allows bit. Unfortunately the native browser can't pour water out of a boot with instructions written on the bottom when it comes to fields you type in.

Re: Discussion of NJC's novel, The Sorcerer's Progress (22 replies, posted in Alpha to Omega - Review Group)
The current two volumes in The Sorcerer's Progress are Children and Beasts and Earth by Fire. (Titles are officially provisional, but the first two given are pretty solid.)
The first is in need of editing, and has some inconsistent edits. The second is collecting chapters and ideas. Right now the two timelines in book two are separated, lying in different chapter sequences.
There's a character name change in edit process: Mellaen => Melayne. No change in pronunciation; it's to help the reader's eye.
The first few chapters have been heavily reviewed, so although you may want to read them, you shouldn't feel the need to review them. The chapters a little after, that bring the characters into contact with a fellow named Erevain, have got to be cut severely.
The reviews that will help the most are those of what I've just written. That's a lot to ask, since you'd be dropping in without knowing the world or the backstory.

While I'm the new guy and the cause of the disruption, I'll risk a modest suggestion. You have a workload of 11%. If you increased the rotation time from 20 days to just 21, you'd have a 5% increase in time, and you'd put the schedule on an even three weeks.

Tick tock. I don't see Charles writing cameos for you. Unless you're Abbix. She's in deep Bantha poodoo.
Actually, I think she's deep in the bantha, without a banthyscape.
