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 - Let's Go Hunting!

What a day! Forgot half my lunch, so I only had an apple since breakfast (which was over 12 hours ago), and then worked 1.5 hours longer than usual.

I was astonishingly un-hungry, actually. But very glad when dinner was ready!

Spring is in the air here too -- in the form of pollen! Our black cat came in the other day, with a coating of yellow pollen all over her. Odd looking.

Technology is great when it works. When it doesn't work ... it is very useful as a paperweight.

Re: QM - Let's Go Hunting!

Hmm, glad it works then, cause that adapter is so small it would easily be hidden underneath the paper.
