I’ve been thinking about storage capacity lately. I had a couple of IO errors on my aging Synology NAS drive that caused a minor panic at the thought of losing all of my redundancy and archived media. At 6TB of RAID5 backing up all our photos, ripped DVDs and iTunes libraries, it’s a daunting prospect […]
Yesterday, I dropped a little teaser tweet: #teaser Trajectory Book 2 is near… #kindle #books pic.twitter.com/7MdeSP4rce — robcee (@robcee) April 25, 2016 That tasty morsel means that last Friday I finished the major rewrites (aka PROJECT INFILL) and some tidying up around the edges. It was a bigger project than I expected and ended up introducing […]
A couple of weeks ago my book got featured in the Science Fiction category on Wattpad. Since then, my phone’s homescreen has basically looked like the above image and the little notification blinky has been solid orange. No, I don’t want to turn those off, leave me alone. Before being featured, I thought my book […]
When I was a kid, there was nothing better than banana loaf. Or banana bread if you prefer. I like the word loaf, so that’s what I call it. I think it’s funny. My mom would make it, not very often, and the whole house would have that special delicious smell all through it. Warm […]
Just a quick note: I’ve just updated Trajectory Book 1 on Amazon (US, Can) and Smashwords to v1.5. This contains all the most-recent edits (aka “bugfixes”) and should be propagating out on all platforms over the course of the day. If you’ve just bought a copy, I recommend poking your reading device to get the […]
Trajectory Book 1 hit a pretty big milestone yesterday on Wattpad. It is now a featured story in their highly-competitive Science Fiction category. I love charts and graphs, and it’s still too early to know what this will mean for mine, but I’ve already seen a bunch of new faces adding me to their reading lists. What […]
Why should Deb have all the fun with her shiny new blog? I wasn’t really happy with my previous theme so I splurged and dressed the site up in this hot little number. Ain’t she fine? So fine. The state of WordPress themes continues to be a sore spot. Commercial themes are either spewed from […]
March has been a fairly turbulent month for me. This is painful because I was really hoping to have Book 2 ready to go, but we’re 7 days away from the end of the month and I have many pages to get through. First excuse: We’re selling our house! I’ll talk a bit more about […]
It’s Shrove Tuesday, or, as I prefer to call it, Pancake Tuesday. Now, unfortunately, I didn’t get to make pancakes this morning, but there’s no reason you shouldn’t. I have a failproof, top notch recipe for delicious, light and fluffy pancakes that are excellent receptacles for butter, maple syrup and whatever fruit or toppings you […]
This week’s tempest in a tweetpot is bubbling over because Twitter has announced they’re going to replace the current chronological stream we all know and love with a Facebook-like “algorithm-based timeline”. Naturally, people being people, the standard reaction is “OMG NO! CHANGE WE FEAR IT WTF!!!” followed by a stream of eggplant and hotdog emojis […]
