The Hobbit Hole VI - And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...
Posted on 01/31/2004 9:52:08 AM PST by ecurbh
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

I'm sorry.
It's not as bad as it might look. That's just public info like looking up a company in the yellow pages. Nothing really usefully hackable about that info. It was more for the humor value. :-)
But the stock-quote-streaming option is still the best idea I've had all night...
To: Ramius
Any port in a storm... as they say... :-)Hmmm....if I didn't know better, I'd feel insulted! *wink*

LOL!
Running with scoundrels, you are.
I am starting to stiffen up.... Wonder where I could find a good foot rub? I'd give one in return....
To: RMDupree; Penny1; Ramius; Wneighbor; Fedora
I is tired... hitting the couch now.
Good night all!
To: Penny1
If you find that job, let me know how I can get a job like that too! ;)Hi Penny! Bet on it!
It's kind of like saying if I win the lottery. It goes without saying that we'd all benefit! *laughing*

Good thing you know better, then... :-)
To: Fedora
Hmmm... on the backstory... it's always tricky. I would say, if you can, pick the most salient points and work them in early, maybe as flashbacks. Then when the reader's hooked, give it to us in larger chunks.
Who does this well? Drat, I know someone I should be mentioning. Obviously no one does it that well! Have you ever read Tad Williams' (brilliant, wonderful) Otherland series? It's not exactly what you want, but it has a number of different characters whose stories get told over time.
Does that help? I'm struggling with "make something happen, everyone's just talking", myself.

You know, after all of this, I'm going to be too afraid to log in from work tomorrow! I've got some software you could install that would make it not just scary but entertaining as well!! But perhaps we should just leave that in the realm of things pondered.
Not to mention the idea of burying some nice juicy photos on the bosses computer just in case they come in handy some day. Ack!! Did I say that or just think it really loud? Nevermind...
To: RMDupree
Thanks for the wrap up, Fedora. YOu've saved me at least 15 minutes!!You're most welcome :)
To: ecurbh; HairOfTheDog
g'nite!!!
To: RMDupree
Okay, I think I'm done running around the house for tonight. I'm sitting here for a while now...
.... so Ruthy! What are we gonna do when we get to wedding moot? Think we can keep ourselves entertained? :-D
