Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

Eggnog is made with eggs, cream, milk, brandy or rum. And sprinkled with nutmeg.

That recipe sounds good.

Re: [QM] Deeper and deeper we delve....

*snuggles in*

Yesterday was a stupid day - missed my train, because they changed the schedule (or rather, I was on the right train, but got off again before it left because I thought it was the wrong one, and by the time I'd figured out that it had been the right one, it had left.)
And then I had to leave early as well, because I didn't feel well. Came home and fell asleep.

I hope today will be better. I still don't feel too well, but I think I've done well on the floriculture test, and I feel like writing again (yesterday I slept through all my free periods).

Wow, I just compiled a list of female speakers (on topics related to programming) and there's a lot more of them than I thought!

Re: [QM] Deeper and deeper we delve....

Gah, I'm cold. It's not actually that cold in here, it's just that I'm sitting still. And the other people in the building walk to and fro quite a bit, so the heating in here is not adjusted to people like me. :(
