For the month of November in honor of NaNoWriMo, "Later, Skater" the novel I wrote last year is available on Lulu for only 10 bucks! -- (link) - Qale Oct 30, 14:29 16
- *sigh* At this point I should just try to order it again. -- nm - JCVDano Oct 30, 14:42 3
  - Yeah, I'm sorry Lulu messed up your first order. Was the book they sent you any good? -- nm - Qale Oct 30, 14:44 2
    - I haven't read it, but I've had it long enough to have read it so I'd feel weird about asking for a refund now. -- nm - JCVDano Oct 30, 14:48 1
      - Yeah. That's probably true. :( -- nm - Qale Oct 30, 14:50

Speaking of Christmas, do you think it would be cheaper to wait a little longer for prices to come down? - Subversive Oct 30, 14:28 22
- yes. they are going to be doing some serious discounting, imo. they've got inventory and pce has gone negative.... - x Oct 30, 14:46
- Marginally cheaper I guess. -- nm - Loyola Oct 30, 14:36
- I'm going to wait as long as I can because of this. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 30, 14:30 1
  - I cleaned up getting all of Jacen's toys the week before on Amazon, and plan on doing so again. -- nm - TFox Oct 30, 14:31

  - Tampa's lost has made you bitter. -- nm - David Oct 30, 14:34 2
    - "Tampa's Lost"? What's that, a pseudonym for Heroes? :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 30, 14:37
    - Err, loss. -- nm - David Oct 30, 14:34
- Well, you might want to wait until the Christmas sales *start*, first of all. - TFox Oct 30, 14:28 12
  - Yeah, I have a baby due in 30 days. My crunch time does not necessarily line up with the norm this year. -- nm - Subversive Oct 30, 14:33 9
    - Doesn't that make it a bit easier? Buy 35 frames, insert pic of new baby, deliver cuteness, done and done? -- nm - TFox Oct 30, 14:35 8
      - Well, for grandparents, aunts, uncles, yes. For close family not so much. - Subversive Oct 30, 14:36 7
        
        There is nothing my family want more than pictures of moose jr. Nothing. - musubi Oct 30, 14:42
        
        So they get bigger pictures. -- nm - TFox Oct 30, 14:37 5
        
        I'll give it some thought. Also, where may I subscribe to your newsletter? -- nm - Subversive Oct 30, 14:40 3
        
        Seriously, for the closer family: bigger prints or do hardcover photo books on Snapfish. - TFox Oct 30, 14:46 2
        
        We got hardcover photobooks of moose Jr from Costco. Parents *loved* them. (nm) - musubi Oct 30, 14:47 1
        
        The only reason we aren't doing it this year is because people flipped equally for us writing a Christmas book, and that is cheaper. -- nm - TFox Oct 30, 14:48
        
        that's officer thinking -- nm - Beryllium Oct 30, 14:40
  - There was an article in the last couple days about how desperate retailers will likely be to unload BluRay players by Xmas. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 30, 14:30 1
    - (ooops - meant to respond to Sub's post.) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 30, 14:30
I've been thinking: I wonder if part of the reason they swithced back is b/c they market model assumes a certain level of trading... - TFox Oct 30, 14:25 2

        yeah. I hate those kinds of devices. Copiers should be copiers - kilboooo Oct 30, 14:34 1
        
        we have a separate scanner and a separate printer, it will really only be used to fax/copy. -- nm - Halloween Candie Oct 30, 14:34

- Really I'm only commenting on the counterintuitive drop of the C$ when it's the US economy taking it in the shorts. - Reagen Oct 30, 14:19 3
  - Yeah, that's pretty weird eh? - Subversive Oct 30, 14:23
  - Oh yeah, we're still undervalued, even with the 5-cent pick up of the last three days. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 30, 14:23 1

        Yup, I don't care. -- nm - mara Oct 30, 14:39
      - I'm in now, but I totally don't get why anyone would liquidate. -- nm - pmb Oct 30, 14:26 1

    - Yup, that was a big suckage...it adjusted twice with no chance to reverse -- nm - secretslacker Oct 30, 14:50
  - What's the story there? They realized how terrible the new version was and abandoned it? - Subversive Oct 30, 14:17 15
    - the IM is most accurate, except they plan on running the beta in parallel at beta.hsx.com -- nm - Beryllium Oct 30, 14:17 14
      - So I wonder if a complete lack of traffic to the parallel beta will convince them it sucks. -- nm - Subversive Oct 30, 14:19 13
        
        There are a number of people who actually like it. -- nm - mara Oct 30, 14:21 12

  - I assume you're being facetious because assume you have a population of 100 men and 100 women. - Roger Morbid Oct 30, 14:29 12
    - This is assuming that people *are* unfaithful to their partners. - Dr.Vermin, being obnoxious Oct 30, 14:38 4
      - Which is a pretty reasonable assumption. And you only need a small percentage of males that cheat to achieve the same result. - Roger Morbid Oct 30, 14:52 3
        
        Except we're talking about men being gay, not leaving the population. Or are you arguing that gay men should leave the population? You dirty bigot! -- nm - Dr.Vermin, being obnoxious Oct 30, 14:58 2
        
        Heh - I said at the beginning that we'll assume all men in the model are straight. - Roger Morbid Oct 30, 15:03

      - Oh yes - but loosi's point was that the number of women relative to men is a far stronger indicator than the opposite way around. - Roger Morbid Oct 30, 14:41 5
