A Surprising Oversight

Nobody on my LiveJournal friends list has yet picked up on the articles (which started appearing yesterday) that doctors have detected evidence of a heart in Vice President Cheney.

NS2 Taken Out of Service

For a few of you with geeky interests and long memories, this may mean something. NS2 was my second server, primarily a secondary nameserver, but also having various other functions loaded onto it now and then.

This was essentially the last of my servers providing public services; I relocated all that to Dreamhost after the second meltdown. (more…)

In California Week of 3-Dec-2007

I’ll be out in the Menlo Park area the week of 3-Dec. If you want to get together, get in touch! I don’t think I’m staying through either weekend this time, though.

I had to go for a second clue to get “tequila”, for some reason (it was completely obvious afterwards, and I hadn’t considered it previously).

Lucky guess on “White Russian”, but there were only two choices left by then.

Stumbled across this through several LJ posts today:

Well, it’s official and I can talk about it now, in that unless the creeks rise and/or there’s a disaster on the order of the Great San Francisco Earthquake, Windhaven Press is officially producing the Virginia Editions of the complete works of Robert A. Heinlein for the trust that oversees RAH’s work.

As of when I checked, no information on the Windhaven Press site yet.

[Edited to add: Okay, got some clarifications.  Windhaven Press is the new production company for the edition; they are not the publisher, hence are not setting the prices or controlling the textual content of the editions.  And my confusion seems to have annoyed "editrx", for which I apologize.]

Meisha Merlin was originally doing the edition, but they’ve gone under.

At least with the MM edition, the cheapest way to get into it was $2200 in advance, and they’ve somewhat front-loaded the production order with the bad books to boot, so I doubt I’m getting it; let alone the $3500 leather-bound gilt-edged edition.
