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.

Re: QM - The pink stables

Halfway through my journal, and afterwards I get to write about hydrangeas or regal pelargoniums. Such fun. Aren't you jealous?

Re: QM - The pink stables

Now I've spent practically forever trying to figure out what the correct name for regal pelargoniums is. I guess Pelargonium Cultivars Grandiflorum-Grp., but can't be sure.

Re: QM - The pink stables

I'm copying all the questions from that wretched multiple choice test (they spell it "choise". No wonder the questions are so horrible!). When I have the time, I will mark all the questions I want to complain about, and then, I think, I'll hunt down whoever is responsible and whack them over the head with the list.

Re: QM - The pink stables

Maen Mint!

Just had a fun day playing board games (longest game of Munchkin ever; 'course, we played Super Star Munchkin Booty with Clerical Errors and More Good Cards - made to seem even longer by a bard drawing the theme song and following up on the suggestion of continuously humming hers in order to annoy people).
Now pondering if I have the energy left for parsing this letter I got from the German tax office (a mere year after trying to claim back VAT from them in the first place)...


Mozilla developer comment of the however long it'll be this time:
<Mossop> run for the hills!
<Boriss> i can't, i'm at a local maximum!


Just Imagine...

Re: QM - The pink stables

*waves*

I've completed my daily bit of Latin, now I should do some writing, but my brain feels very fuzzy after all that journal-writing, paper-writing and multiple-choice-test-cursing. Not exactly the best condition for writing.

*waves at anyone around*

Considering that it was freezing earlier this week, it is in the 70's. Stoopid weather.


Someday will find you.

Re: QM - The pink stables

Hey! Just want to be part of the Pink Stables before they are gone and vanish into history.
Popping in and out now. Going to bed.

Hello everyone. Sitting here, scanning and cropping pictures.

I was a weird lookin' child. Which explains a lot.


Someday will find you.

Re: QM - The pink stables

Not too good. Got a bug I can't figure out how to fix. And the Wicket mailing list apparently doesn't know the answer either. (So far anyway.) It's totally annoying.
