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.

It's nowhere near that cold here, but I'm still cold.

*writhes*

No worries, Sahi. I'll get over it.

Work is tedious right now, but at least I'm listening to a book on CD - "The Great Hunt" by Robert Jordan, the second in the series.


Someday will find you.

Bleh, I wish my boss would come in. I'm stuck. I'm just not good enough at OO or generics. :(

Re: QM - The pink stables

Hmm... it's sooooo tempting...

*slurps up chicken soup* Yum!

There are so many things that I should/could do right now.... and I just don't wanna....
Although I should really go take a shower at some point...

Re: QM - The pink stables

Showerness has been achieved... and now I'm dead tired...

Well, I'll just sit here for a bit...

Re: QM - The pink stables

Sunshine, birdsong, no sort-of boss, no evil radio... it's been a nice day. Doing propagation work all on my own, with the potting machine stomping and creaking and hissing in the background... spring is stressy, but I still enjoy it.
And all the documents for the exam have been handed in.

Re: QM - The pink stables

And paper #2 is done. Now I have poinsettias and chrysanthemums. Guess I'll do pansies next, and then we have to decide which other two plants I should write about. Maybe I'll suggest Regal Pelargoniums.
