This is one of the projects we're working on before we lift the freeze on moving Fenspace's "now". Anyone who wants access to the Google Document, please ask for it here. (Anyone with access to the Google Documents for The South Is Rising, Somebody Get a Hammer or The Fall of Crystal Osaka already has access to BoskonePrime.doc)

So far, all we've got is a short prologue to set the scene:

Its not really fanfiction, but its an awesome series that has both a free online prequel, and the author decided to put the most recent installment in the series on his site as well.
If you kind of squint and look at it sideways, you could call it Dreden Files fanfic maybe?
If you like that series, I definitely think you will dig this one.

Well, I've lost my laptop.  And along with it chapter 6 and chapter 7 of DSKS.
The good news is that I was backing up the folder to an SD Card.  That bad news is that at some point in time it started giving me some weird error - probably because the card was starting to go bad.  So I only have chapters 1 through 5.
I may get my laptop back, but it could take up to a year to happen.  Until then, I've taken the precaution of purchasing a new laptop.  It's a nice little thing, too.  Toshiba Satellite A665D series, with AMD Phenom triple core processor at 2.2 GHz and 1.5 MB of L2 Cache, 4 GB of DDR3 Memory, and an ATI Mobility Radeon with a dedicated 1 GB of DDR3 Memory.  I may not have my missing material back, but it's nice to have a computer again.

This is NOT good.

Quote:On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously approved a bill that would give the Attorney General the right to shut down websites with a court order if copyright infringement is deemed “central to the activity” of the site — regardless if the website has actually committed a crime. The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) is among the most draconian laws ever considered to combat digital piracy, and contains what some have called the “nuclear option,” which would essentially allow the Attorney General to turn suspected websites “off.”

Deemed by WHO?

200 students on a University of Florida business course admit to cheating on an exam, after being called out on it by their professor.

The professors response to this.... offering a makeup exam and no academic punishment to those who come forward before being outright discovered, is pretty cool on his part, considering how obviously annoyed he is.

I just finished watching Angel Beats, and damit, a show about immortal highshoolers rebbeling against god, and fighting against the student council president/angel with guns, rock & roll and giant fans is not supposed to be this depressing.

The ending actually made me cry

Still it is a good anime and I recommend it.
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

Shooting is supposed to start in May; the original release date of 2012 has been pushed back.
