  Any Sony Reader Touch/Pocket users here?
Posted by: LilFluff - 10-09-2009, 07:22 PM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (7)

(AARG! Accidentally did a page-back, and however Yuku works it isn't one of the sites where Firefox will still have your text if you accidentally leave the
page and come straight back.)

Does anyone here have and use the Sony Reader Touch or Pocket? I have a chance to get one of those for almost $100 off at (so-called) Best Buy, but nearly all
the reviews I'm finding are from people who only used them for a few days or maybe a week before writing the reviews (or are for older models). I'm
open to being convinced that I should go for a different ebook reader, but keep in mind even for the touch I'd only be paying roughly $200 + tax (that
would blow more than one paycheck's entertainment budget, but it should last alot longer than one pay period), so I'd need to be convinced that the
price difference would be worth it.

I like that the Touch has a bigger screen in nearly the same size unit, on the other hand I do not like that neither has support for external memory (come on,
SD cards are cheap, let me stuff Project Gutenburg on one, okay Sony? (CORRECTION: No SD on Pocket, but the Touch does have an SD slot)) but at least the
internal memory is half a gig, room for a metric boatload of books. I also like that the Touch and Pocket support ePub files (the current iteration of the Open
Ebook Format), which for those who haven't investigated ebook file formats is little more than one or more html files zipped up with the file extension
changed from .zip to .epub, so easy roll-your-own ebook support too. On the other hand the Pocket would drop to just over $100, for which I could see viewing
it as a temporary one-or-two year holdover until hopefully much better models are available (heck, even after tax, even at one year that would be only around
ten bucks a month and could still serve as a spare/backup device even if I bought something else).

  Feeling a little Lost In (Fen)Space
Posted by: Shinkaze - 10-09-2009, 04:52 PM - Forum: Fenspace - Replies (9)

I don't have a lot of time, but I wanted to do this before I leave, so here I go. I've finally redone all the stuff I lost last time and I should
actually have time to devote to this for a while, but I'm feeling a little lost. I haven't been keeping up with this forum as much as I'd like
and, while I've read most of the threads I missed, it seems like there's some information that's not here or on the wiki. For example, from the
conversations I see around here, it seems like the events both during the boskone war and afterword have been planned out significantly, but I can't find
anything about it, could someone fill me in? It also seems like the extent of what can be done with handwavium has been greatly increased, could someone
maybe provide me with some general guidelines?. Is there even still room for characters that could be significant within the setting? Sorry to be asking so
many questions, but I'm finally near a point where I might be able to start writing soon, so I needed to ask.




Also, Bob, is the offer to let me use the ship from this snippet still there? because I think it would work
with what(little) I've got planned.

  Machinae Supremacy - an oncoming freight train of awesome
Posted by: classicdrogn - 10-08-2009, 05:18 AM - Forum: The Game Everyone Loves To Play - Replies (2)

I'm fairly sure http://www.machinaesupremacy.com/webography.php is their downloads page, with
Anthem Apocalyptica and Multiball being particularly good (both instrumentals, but I haven't decyphered enough lyrics to make specific Game suggestions)
It's guitar-heavy metal with added bloopy synth, and the ones with lyrics are usually ballad form rather than repeating a few lines over and over.

The official soundtrack band if I ever publish a videogame, for 100% sure.

Grab the three Sidology tracks too.

  Moon Fic?
Posted by: Jeanne Hedge - 10-08-2009, 12:56 AM - Forum: Other People's Fanfiction - Replies (3)

Would someone please recommend site(s) for good Sailor Moon fic, or even just some good stories? I haven't been able to find a really good site since
Andrea Hui's Moon Romance site closed/moved/went away seemingly eons ago.

be kind...

maybe I've just been looking in the wrong places...

maybe this is the wrong crowd to ask about sailor moon...

  Equivalent exchange?
Posted by: Jorlem - 10-07-2009, 10:31 PM - Forum: Drunkard's Walk V: Another Divine Mess You've Gotten Me Into - Replies (3)

This occurred to me earlier today:

Chris is growing into his powers, and is learning what it means to be a god, and brother to the Norns. Mara, the Norn's sister, is about to die the
permanent death. Considering everything Kami-sama has done to set this situation up, I can't help but wonder if there is some sort of equivalent exchange
going on in addition to everything else we've seen.

So this is what happens When i'm stuck on calls and have Mids to play with. I get to build practicing. Though, in this case, I made this toon. It would
be appreciated if folks could rip it apart and let me know where I fumbled and where I could improve.

Thanks all.
