Updated List: I decided to put graphic novels/manga in their own list - Deathnote volumes 4 through 10 by Tsugumi Ohba - a quite good manga about a boy who finds a notebook that he can write names into then the person dies, he starts using it to kill criminals and things go from there
- Ultimate Power by Michael Bendis - a decent marvel ultimates universe book
- Conan Volume 6: Hand of Nergal by several writers - a pretty faithful rendering of the original tales in comic book form, unfortunately they switched authors and artist so we'll see how it goes.
- Starman Omnibus Vol 1 by James Robinson and Tony Harris - A collection of the 90's run of Starman, a golden age superhero
- Eternals: To slay a God by
 - A collection of the first few books of the new Eternals run by Marvel - Y: The Last Man by Brian Vaughan - a extremely disappointing end to an excellent serious about how the world might be like if every mammal with a y chromosome died, except for one man and his monkey
- The Umbrella Academy vol 1 by Gerard Way- a rather odd comic, not a bad read just odd, I'd borrow before buying
- Fables vol 11 by Bill Willingham- a very good comic series about characters from fairy tales hiding out in modern New York City, very imaginative, creative and all around good stuff
- Starman Omnibus Vol 2 by James Robinson and Tony Harris - A collection of the 90's run of Starman, a golden age superhero
- Starman Omnibus Vol 3 by James Robinson and Tony Harris - A collection of the 90's run of Starman, a golden age superhero
- Girls by Joshua and Jonathan Luna - An incredibly wacked small town horror story with incredible artwork, great stuff
- Ultra: Seven Days by Joshua and Jonathan Luna - A great look at a world where superheros are celebrities
Added another and still slogging through Finnegan's Wake.

I've never read said articles. Do you have a link to them anywhere online?
They have been in Asimov's the last few months, looks like the first two are online http://www.asimovs.com/_issue_0909/ref.shtmlhttp://www.asimovs.com/_issue_0910_11/ref.shtmlPart 3 just arrived the mail a few days ago and I didn't see it online. He references several books and essays to help you build convincing worlds that I am thinking about reading.

Robert Silverberg's "Majipoor Chronicles"
That is one series I've never gotten around to reading. I've read a series of articles on how he created the world but never the books themselves. I've got to make a point to pick those up.

Updated List: - 26. Iron Angel by Alan Campbell - sequel to his other book above, even more darkly wacked than the last novel, steam punk giant angel machines powered by souls from hell...
- 27. The Ringworld Engineers by Larry Niven - the written 20 years later sequel to prior ringworld novels, just re-reading since I read the first two this year
- 28. Orcs:Bad Blood by Stan Nicholls - a fantasy novel with orcs as the main characters, pretty good
- 29. The Devil you Know by Mike Carey - about an exorcist who can actually see and exorcise ghosts, a good summer beach read
- 30. Mean Streets by Various - a short story collection from 4 authors, ok if you've read the series the novellas are based on
- 31. Shadow Play by Tad Williams - a good book by a normally excellent fantasy writer
- 32. When the Tide Rises by David Drake - an extremely fun and quick read of the military scifi bent
- 33. Renegade's Magic by Robin Hobb - the finale in her most recent fantasy series, not a bad series I would recommend her other ones first
- 34. Zoe's Tale by John Scalzi - The events in the third book of his trilogy from a different character's view point, the author published it to answer questions about perceived plot gaps from readers
- 35. Forge of Heaven by C. J. Cherryh - a sequel but up to her usual high standards of characters and interpersonal conflict
- 36. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith - a rewrite of the original Austen novel to include zombies, pretty enjoyable read so far, it's funny to see zombies described in period English writing and manner
- 37. Finnegan's Wake by James Joyce - just odd, the entire novel is written with no narrative and using puns, riddles, allusions and made up words, this will be on here for a while as I try to digest it
- 38. Jumper by Steve Gould - the novel the movie was loosely based on, better than the movie but not great
- 39. The Man with the Golden Torc by Simon R Green - Green writes a great popcorn action book, you don't want to put it down until you finish, he has multiple series out and all of them are worth getting
- 40. Daemons are Forever by Simon R Green - the 2nd book in the same series as the book above this, continued fast paced action
- 41. Kushiel's Mercy by Jacqueline Carey - the conclusion of her most recent trilogy, a little predictable but a well built imaginative world
- 42. The Time Machine by H.G. Wells - what can I say, it's a classic
- 43. The Island of Dr. Moreau by H.G. Wells - what can I say, it's a classic
- 44. The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells - what can I say, it's a classic
- 45. The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells - what can I say, it's a classic
- 46. The First Men in the Moon by H.G. Wells - This was the first one that I had no idea what it would be about before reading, it was incredibly imaginative, his thoughts on the creatures that would live in the Moon are amazing
- 47. The Food of the Gods and how it came to Earth by H.G. Wells - His political leanings were starting to show through but a good novel about society having to deal with massive changes
- 48. In the Days of the Comet by H.G. Wells - An even more detailed novel on society becoming "enlightened", political views front and center in this one
- 49. The Spy Who Haunted Me by Simon R Green - the 3rd book in the same series above, a fun and short read, like watching an occult James Bond movie
- 50. End of the Century by Chris Robertson - an okay book, tying together people across three different centuries
I decided to put graphic novels/manga in their own list - Deathnote volumes 4 through 10 by Tsugumi Ohba - a quite good manga about a boy who finds a notebook that he can write names into then the person dies, he starts using it to kill criminals and things go from there

Gee... a simple RegEx to replace those characters would solve that in about 2 seconds. Or, hell, store the MD5 of the password like just about every forum out there does. There is no excuse.
I agree, just explaining. Heck the site should have told you not to use those characters in the first place if they couldn't be bothered to store the password in such a fashion as to not cause problems.

I have found that if an application is passing a user name\password combo as part of a connection string to an SQL database, sometimes having SQL specific characters as part of your password causes the database to go sideways.
That's about the only thing I can come up with.
Our Oracle database here won't allow certain special characters in password or user name strings for exactly that reason.

I'm always jealous at how others do at coming up with their own interpretation of acronyms.
I bought the GeoMate Jr. with the intention of donating to my many nieces and nephews if/when we upgrade to a more powerful device. Haven't had a chance to take it out for a spin yet but setup was a snap and we took it along while walking the dogs and at one point were within 900 feet of a cache. Too many muggles around running a 5k through the woods to check it out further.
So far I suspect my only real complaint will be the lack of puzzle caches, it can only handle traditional caches since you can't input coordinates. It seems perfect for us in that you can take it anywhere, turn it on and find something. Without having to do the research beforehand for ones in the area you're traveling in.
I think Sunday we are going to try and find a few with it. I'll let you know how it goes.
So we got a chance to try it this past weekend. Very easy to use, very lightweight. Turn it on and it takes a minute or two to check in with the satellites and then it pulls up the 20 closest traditional caches. Worked well under the trees, does lose signal under dense tree cover. We found two caches and were unable to find the third, come to find out the third had been archived right after the device was loaded. Overall I like the unit, it would be nice if it had an internal compass and didn't need you to be moving to point the direction to the target. It would be great if the device has cache descriptions and/or clues. I can easily see where you would no idea what you were looking for, besides the size, and knowing even just that it's a nalgene bottle would be helpful. We're taking a short cruise up the new england coast in a couple of weeks and are looking forward to trying it out on the various stops. Thanks Jee! If I'm ever at Sweelinckstraat 2, 3766 Soest, The Netherlands I will claim the six-pack.

Other than the fact that I've never seen something like that supporting weight on top I think you'll be fine.
You may want to have a frame supporting the roof, and keeping the blocks square plus you could tie to the frame as well as each other.
Of course I did get a 'D' in the one static forces class I took in 1994 so...

For God's sake, why? Ask any of the people who actually used punch cards to program computers and see if they miss it. You're alive in the middle of the transition of programming from lengthy codes & syntax to English language, so simple even a child can program a computer. I personally can't wait to see what's next.
I think a programming language in Latin would be much cooler than one in English.
