Say No To TypeKey!
A short administrative note:
As of right now, late on a sunny but crisp Sunday afternoon, I've switched off the "sign in to TypeKey" malarkey for this blog. I'm going back to moderating posts by hand. I decided I'd rather hear from folks who stop by, and that the TypeKey thing was a barrier to spontaneity. It was very good for keeping out comment spam--I didn't get any while using TypeKey--but it's no trouble to weed out the spam myself.
Thank you, though, to those of you who have been signing in to that service and posting anyway. It's greatly appreciated.
If you have any further trouble commenting, please feel free to contact me at adrian dot bedford at gmail dot com. I'll just add an email link thingy to the sidebar as well.

Meanwhile, in Author Boy news:
I just heard from the proprietor of brand new specialty sf/fantasy bookshop, Fantastic Planet (run by awesome Perth sf author Stephen Dedman and his wife Elaine), asking how they can order my new book, and would I be interested in doing a book launch for it at the shop?
Phwoar! Would I! I said yes, please. What a lovely gesture on their part!

Charlie--my apologies for taking so long to get back to your question there. Pixel is doing pretty well, surprisingly so considering she had surgery weekend before last. She gets the stitches taken out this coming Thursday, the 25th. Michelle and I have both been surprised at how little she's been bothered by having two healing incisions in the rear half of her body. Also, in better news: both of the two lumps removed were harmless--yaaay!

Testing testing ... hello? *taps microphone* is this thing on? *squeals of feedback* sounds like it, harhar. *crowd is so silent crickets can be heard in the background* well, so much for opening a speech with a joke.
Good morning, Adrian! That is indeed some fabbo news. A book launch in your home town? Awesome! Now, if they could set up an online chat, we could all attend!
And how is Pixel doing? Give her a scratch behind the ears for me. Pixel, that is. Michelle might think it a bit odd. *grin*

This is just me testing things out, to make sure the TypeKey thing is really gone. So far, so good.
