Thanks on the cover! No, I've never been to the UK but often dream of it. In fact, the way things are going here, I've extended that dream to "visit the UK and maybe not return..." >.>

I kinda thought that too. In a way, you can see how I went from something I had a lot of experience in (programming) to something I had almost No experience in; marketing. :) But, the only way to get better is practice so this is just a first "go". Thanks for the props everyone too!

Here you go. Keep in mind it involves computer programming so it might be of little interest. Just go easy on me- first time I've been interviewed like that. :)

Thanks! The interview went really well. He was effusive in his praise and suggested I start a channel myself. I was flattered but I don't know that I have enough focused content, time, or a unique hook for a channel. At the last minute, I made a prop book with a printed cover to display on...

Good stuff all around! I'll see how it goes. One good thing about this is that it forced me to sit down and think of a real title for my WIP. After coming up with a handful of choices, I bounced them off my friends and the winner was "The Shadow Cabal". Not really related but I've learned to...

If so, whats your thoughts on it? A gentleman on the web wants to interview me for his youtube channel. The channel is not book related- it involves careers in computer programming and I have been such for almost 20 years with 5 more in game quality assurance ('tester', that is). My comments on...

Working in Lancaster now at a financial processing firm. :)

Carol Rose...that name is familiar to me. At least I think it is. Were you a member of the previous Litopia from some years back? Happy T-day too!

I believe it was "Shackled" back then too, but it has been years. I took this name originally because my work was the absolute polar opposite of creativity, innovation, or any other kind of intellectual progress; processing tax data for a State Govt. A place where proposing changes is considered...

Hi. I was part of the olde Litopia colony that mysteriously disappeared for awhile...or at least, I couldnt ever find it after it became a pod-cast "station"...or something. Its been a while....years in fact. Does this Colony have any attachment to the old? The old one had this tiered system...
