Ah, so who else posts from your machine on here?

Anyway, back to the naughty link. I can't find it, could you tell me where it is or has someone removed it already?

Nobody uses this machine apart from me for now. I am not always lucky enough to be in an place where I can get connected though and might have to use other's units. I also haven't passed on this link to family or friends I have corrupted to the ways of the Disc yet. I tend to be particular about that sort of thing. Few of them have my well developed attitudes of tolerance or my don't-dish-it-if-you-can't-take-it ways.

Now back to the subject at hand - Notes part 5: the Short Story link looked like a nudist activism group were advertising their wares there last night when I hit it. I didn't hang around to admire the art, but purged my system of the biscuit crumbs (cookies for the less lateral), and PM'd.

They were different ads when I looked again this afternoon.

I've made 2 new editions to the Articles / Speeches section:

45. Worldcon Guest of Honor speech
(Terry's 2005 speech, published by ISFiC Press in "Worldcon Guest of Honor Speeches" (pp. 282-95), edited by Mike Resnick and Joe Siclari)
46. Keep it Real
(The 2007 edition of The Writers' and Artists' Yearbook contains an article by Terry (pp. 231-22) giving advice on how to write science fiction)

Also, the 2007 post office diary is now available, with the Wintersmith novel coming out in a week or so

I know Mal is still working away with the upgrade, so no need to panic, but the list on page 1 of this thread is messed up!

And random words are in red for some reason!

Jackal, code in the first post (and, indeed the rest of the thread) is now fixed. I have had to remove all size tags, as they work differently on this board, and they would have caused the writing to be page-stretchingly huge. It's taken me over an hour just to take out the errant stuff, so I'd appreciate it if you could modify text size yourself wherever you want to change it! Thanks.

Thanks a lot for the effort mate

Jackal
Your link to the short stories at the bottom goes to a spanish (or possibly portuguese) site.

(I don't know either language well enough to recognise properly)

Well spotted. The website seems to have changed its link. My guess, from what I thought I saw & not being a speaker of that language, is that you now have to register to view that page.

So I'll take down the link.

I have heard of a possible future release and some good news. I'll cut and paste the whole paragraph from the discworld monthly newsletter.





So it looks like the next film may have been decided.

Oh my!
That's alot of work!
Thank you!

I've updated the Guide.

New editions to the list are the forthcoming 2008 diary, Lu-Tse's Yearbook Of Enlightenment 2008 (Release date: August 30th, 2007),
and The Illustrated Wee Free Men (Release date: November 1st, 2007)

I have also re-ordered the sections so that all Discworld related areas are together

I just got an email off Harper Collins, as I'm on their mailing list for Pratchett info, and it said that Making Money is out today!

I thought it wasn't out until the 24th? Then again, I have noted many times in the past that most of PTerry's books go out on the shelves days before their actual supposed release date.

So keep an eye out in your local store; it may be in now

What?!

I am told that Making Money will be available on the 24th - Waterstones here in Brussels have 45 copies on order - and one of them is reserved for me!!

In the past I have gone to my local Waterstones & asked for their release date. They just check the official date on the computer. Then you randomly spot it on the shelves a few days early!

Perhaps some stores put all their new releases out on certain days each week & don't really care if it's technically a bit early. Off course, the Harry Potter books were the exception here
