Don't we have some sort of understanding on this list that we won't cast aspersions upon our listmates, especially in their absence? I've wondered what happened to these two of our erstwhile alpha mails of late, too. I don't have to agree with them to hope that they're OK. Things have been fairly quiet from brother Goodall, as well. Maybe he joined a monastery :-). Dave ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

Nothing has aroused my ire sufficiently lately :) I would say that last week's _Battlestar Galactica_ was exceptionally excellent and it looks like S2 is going to end on a high after a dodgy patch of episodes recently. And I'm reading Dan Simmons _A Winter Haunting_ which is a sequel to _Summer of Night_ (1991). The protagonist has unclear memories of what happened in the previous novel - and so do I since I read it so long ago, so I'm half-remembering what he half-remembers which is interesting. And I got a new camera (Canon PowerShot S80) so I've been playing with that. -- William T Goodall Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web : http://www.wtgab.demon.co.uk Blog : http://radio.weblogs.com/0111221/ How long a minute is depends on which side of the bathroom door you're on. ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
Weekly Chat Reminder
As Steve said, The Brin-L weekly chat has been a list tradition for over six years. Way back on 27 May, 1998, Marco Maisenhelder first set up a chatroom for the list, and on the next day, he established a weekly chat time. We've been through several servers, chat technologies, and even casts of regulars over the years, but the chat goes on... and we want more recruits! Whether you're an active poster or a lurker, whether you've been a member of the list from the beginning or just joined today, we would really like for you to join us. We have less politics, more Uplift talk, and more light-hearted discussion. We're non-fattening and 100% environmentally friendly... -(_() Though sometimes marshmallows do get thrown. The Weekly Brin-L chat is scheduled for Wednesday 3 PM Eastern/2 PM Central time in the US, or 7 PM Greenwich time. There's usually somebody there to talk to for at least eight hours after the start time. If you want to attend, it's really easy now. All you have to do is send your web browser to: http://wtgab.demon.co.uk/~brinl/mud/ ..And you can connect directly from William's new web interface! My instruction page tells you how to log on, and how to talk when you get in: http://www.brin-l.org/brinmud.html It also gives a list of commands to use when you're in there. In addition, it tells you how to connect through a MUD client, which is more complicated to set up initially, but easier and more reliable than the web interface once you do get it set up. -- William T Goodall Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web : http://www.wtgab.demon.co.uk Blog : http://radio.weblogs.com/0111221/ This message was sent automatically using cron.

Dan just got me watching them. I've gotten through the miniseries and the first 5 episodes of Season 1. I think we're going to do 3-5 episodes a week until I'm caught up, although there may be a 2-week period in March when we're not watching much. That series is incredible, is all I have to say so far. If you haven't started watching it, you'd better have a darn good excuse! :) Julia ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
