Thanks. Whatever system you have you're going to have glitches. The last one was actually caused by changing MySQL configuration an an unsafe way, which would have killed any master-slave replication system, whether or not MySQL was virtualized. What we need, I think, is redundancy. But thanks for the note.

Hi, Kris ~ Looks like we both snagged the same ER title in the July. I haven't read anything by this author yet, but I saw that Harlan Coben praised "The Killing Circle," so I'm hoping it will be really good.

Enjoy!

I agree with your review of The Yiddish Policeman's Union. Although I kinda like the metaphors.

However, I do have an answer to your question, "Would a modern populace still go to these absurd lengths to force their ancient, cryptic texts to come true?"

Your Slayer comment reminded me of this video. I don't know if anyone besides a room full of graduate composers would find it funny, but here you go: Slayer, MIDI style:

Hi

Glad you agree about Invisible Prey. I emailed John Sandford's website yesterday and spoke to the webmaster. Apparently Sandford has considered killing off Weather but he has discovered that 50% of his fans LOVE Weather and so he thinks that by killing off Weather, he would alienate half his fans. I told the webmaster that perhaps an attempted murder and a permanent coma might be in order instead!!!

Actually Brave New World is on the back burner so to speak, I was having real trouble with it so I've put it to one side while I read a couple of others and then I'll get back to it. It may be because it's a re-read I don't know, perhaps I'm craving utopia instead of dystopia.

As for P. K. Dick I think the only one of his I've read is Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, which I found enjoyable. Not sure if I would in my present frame of mind though.

Hi fellow Stephen King Fan!

I just noticed that you completed the Series field for Fethering Mysteries. Unfortunately you didn't put the book in brackets i.e. Fethering Mysteries (book 1) and so the books each received a Series page. I was so bold to correct it ^^.

Happy reading!

hello there.

I just wanted to let you know that we share a love for Pete Steele. I saw the comment (and wonderful pics) you left in the GD thread. Several years ago I saw them in concert and a friend of mine got back stage, sadly I did not. However, he told Pete that I was a little obsessed with him. Pete asked my friend to give me a present, it was a signed copy of bloody kisses that said "Kelly (my name), kiss these lips. love, Pete Steele. I'm older and married now...but still sigh when I see a pic of him, especially if it is from his playgirl layout :)

have a good day!

Hi!

I saw we had a lot of books in common, so when I have time I am going to look for some recommendations in your library!

Have nice day!

Thanks for the comment! I haven't started the book yet, my dad's reading it first. I'm going to see Crystal on her book tour though, on the 22nd, I can't wait!

Preludes is pretty awesome :)

Hey Kris,

Read your comment in Happy Heathens. Just wanted to say well done. I was lucky not to be born into a religious family. Whilst I am pleased about that now it's also a bit scary not knowing if I could have worked things out for my self if I had been.

Kudos to you.

Regards,

Mark

You can find out more about Helge and sign up for the newsletter to find out when he'll be in your area with his slide show. It's worth it to go. Check out his website.
