Neal Stephenson is not sparing his readers of the many grimy, gutsy details of Real Life in the period. Nonetheless, it's a fascinating read....

Better put R on to this. Go ahead and write a novel anyway, just for the hell of it.

For real commercial/publication use, editors want beaucoup pixels. Besides, I discovered when I got my new camera & wasn't paying attention to picture size that I was chewing up all my Picasa storage space at a rapid rate. Believe me, I cut back fast.

I mean, it's a problem, but why FERRETS? That seems like such a weird, technical, cold thing to insert (ahem, sorry) into a bodice ripper. I do kind of worry about the Flickr thing and then I remember that my photos probably aren't worth stealing. :-) Hot ferret love… that’s hysterical. I mean, it’s a problem, but why FERRETS?

You have discussed the content with the requesting parties and have discovered that their desires for a web site are very similar to the site that your instructor has shown as an example ... http://www.st-andrew-augusta.org Would you "borrow" the coding from that site for your application? Why?" Weeeeelllll, everyone in my class pretty much said that they'd write their own code. Can you believe that this instructor said, "Why re-invent the wheel? What is published on the internet unless copywrited is 'open source' aka 'free ware'." What a lazy world we've come into.

Due, I have been laughing my butt off since I started down the trail of hot ferret love. And I have always hated me some Cassie Edwards so this seems particularly just, in my opinion. We need to talk offline at some point about romance books, or you could just become one of my friends on goodreads. then we could have discussions over there. I will send you an invite based on the last email address I have for you. later gator. Hee! Due, I have been laughing my butt off since I started down the trail of hot ferret love.
