It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Le Nubian: still have to break it up at the end.My publisher requires word files for each chapter with pagination across files. They specifically won't accept multiple chapters per file. I suspect it has to do with layout requirements.

Right now I'd settle for whichever one will stop defaulting to Facebook Mobile. Grrr!

That could be a server-side issue. Or I guess you'd need a browser that could send out fake userAgent info...

I suspect it makes it easier for them. I suspect this, combined with the naming convention they specified feeds into an automated script in their publishing software to do a default layout, which their layout people then modify and insert tables and charts into. As for difficult for me, well when I signed that contract I proved they could get away with valuing my time at a very low rate.

Wow, I totally just sold my soul out to Amazon, enabling 1-click and everything. But I had to. Today's free app for Android was Frogger. Hey, everybody has a price.

I foresee hours of entertainment. Hours.

What's next, Lemonade Stand, as programmed on the C64 off the back cover of a magazine?

Hm. Actually somebody probably has done that. Lemme go look.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Liese, I am DISAPPOINTED IN YOU. Yesterday The Wire was going for $70, and I held out. THE WHOLE SERIES.
