    Where are we going for Fall Ball 2017?!?!?!

    Michigan in the fall is lovely. I keep making the mistake of visiting in the dead of winter...

    Announcing Region for 15th Anni!

    My dad lives in San Jose, so we may be concocting a plan to get him to take our son for a long weekend...

    Wheel of Time TV show pilot

    Statement from Harriet here. She sounds... displeased, to say the least.

    WoT nominated for a Hugo!

    Of further interest, Tor announced today that they will be including the entire Wheel of Time in the packet of eligible works provided to Hugo voters. Wow.

    Congrats Soldier Dareth!

    Thank you all so much! I feel honored and humbled by this and by the warmth and friendship I was shown throughout my very first live event. I've never been happier to be part of this community. ^^

    White Tower and Seanchan ((Possibly spoilers))

    The White Tower and the Seanchan both face the same issue: how to make sure that the vast power held by individual channelers doesn't cause huge problems. In both cases, there are means in place to control channelers and prevent them from doing harm. But: the Seanchan approach is to strip all...

    Yeah, when I explicitly bypass the cache I get good data. When I don't... well, the request I gave you was when I was using the cache, but still had to go out to the server. Though I was getting a whole ton of cached 412 responses as well.

    Disappearing Graphics

    Alright. It started happening again. I opened up the Chrome toolkit and loaded a page, and found a few elements that were getting a 412 from my cache, and one that got a 412 directly from the server. So that's the one I'm providing data for here - the request was for...

    I don't know why the 412 is happening in the first place, but "precondition failed" makes me think that there's some kind of hotlink-prevention referrer-checking going on (that I am failing the first time each evening I try to load the site, for some reason). For whatever reason, the site...

    What accent do you hear when reading WoT?

    Seriously. I'm pretty sure Bayle Domon is basically Mr. Gibbs from PotC. Chin-beard and everything.

    Blood Drive for Boston

    I just want to mention how proud I am of Elo for overcoming her needle-phobia to give blood. She's awesome. <3

    Greetings

    Greetings! Great to see another first-time reader - and another Vorkosigan fan! (Have you read Captain Vorpatril's Alliance yet? Best of the series since Memory, in my opinion...) Two and a half books in... woo, do you have a fun ride ahead of you. :D (I just finished book 10, and it's...

    Hello

    I love it when new people show up with nicknames already ready! It's just so... convenient. :D

    Tower warders, under orders...

    Hooray, I'm a Citizen now! Thank you all for welcoming me (and making this such a great place to hang around). I look forward to someday sharing that rum; in the meanwhile I've got a barrel of my own aging as we speak. Mmm.

    Tower warders, under orders...

    Wait wait wait wait. There's a ter'angreal that produces rum? Why was I not informed sooner??

    Lord of Chaos [(!! book 6 spoilers!!)]

    It was definitely one of my favorites so far, for many of the same reasons - it was such an active book, plot-wise. Seeing the Salidar women discover things lost since the Breaking was particularly cool - especially because the biggest discoveries (Traveling, ter'angreal and healing...

    Speculations, eight books in (spoilers for book 8)

    Well, one of my predictions has already been proven... well, half-wrong and half-right. I suppose I shouldn't have spoilers for book 9 and beyond in this forum, even behind spoiler tags, so I'll leave it at that for now. (I realized that I'm not really sure how to follow up on this post, apart...

    Enjoying it when I can - between work and being sick, I haven't had a lot of time to hang out here. But I'll probably be more active once my permission request for CE goes through...
