Ooooh, this looks like fun. And it's coming close to me!

Re: Sat Trek: The Tour
I will be watching for it to come near me, probably to Chicago. Thanks for the heads up on this!
Working on a major fan fic project. Two-thirds done. Hope to put it up in the not TOO distant future.

Re: Star Trek: The Tour
There are 4 California cities on the list. (And Vancouver, which if I recall isn't too far from ekayak. Sorry for you Europeans, though; it's just US and Canada.)TPoptarts wrote:I wanna go!!!!!
I'm super excited that a city in northern New England is on the list! They better not be here when I'm in Australia, though...

Re: Star Trek: The Tour
Well maybe Australia will get on the tour list? And some European cities? Heck, Trek is now a planet-wide phenomenon. And who knows, there may even be alien fans! How far have those television waves gotten out into space since 1966?

Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four
And here is the beginning of the whole story.
But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.

41 light-years. And within that radius there are plenty of sun-like stars (including 40 Eridani A, which is Vulcan's star, and at a distance of 16 light-years).
She's got an awfully nice bum!

Re: Star Trek: The Tour

Re: Star Trek: The Tour
Thanks KTR! Didn't realize Mr. Ed, I Love Lucy, and The Three Stooges were that far out into the universe (further than Star Trek). No wonder the CETI project has not come up with any signals...they are hiding from us!
JK, thanks for the list. I kinda suspected Chicago would be on it. Wish they would give us dates, though.

There is an edit button for your own posts, you know.

Edit button? Where? I had no idea about this feature. And I can't find it!

Re: Star Trek: The Tour
Ok, I found the button. But these GUI interfaces and lack of written explanations online are so frustrating. I long for a return to the days of white characters on a black screen and miles and miles of code. When you have to hunt all over the screen for links and buttons, to people with old eyes it is extremely frustrating. I have a legally blind programmer friend who lost his job because of GUI. He was used to strings of data but having to hunt visually for things placed here and there randomly on a visually busy screen, drove him out of a job. Sometimes what seems like progress is actually a barrier to some people. Especially those of us who "used to ride dinosaurs to school as kids", as my daughter puts it!

Heavens, I routinely edit my posts 3 or 4 times. My typing sucks.
I think my most-edited was lost in a crash, which is probably for the best.
GUI- gotta look that up...
It's flavored with passionfruit
an appropriate ingredient, don't you think?
