Test post on a new computer

Hey y’all. So I got a nice little netbook computer today, from which I will be updating the Blog of Walker for the next few weeks. The whole ‘test post’ thing has to do with my testing out a new feature that Windows Live offers, called Windows Live Writer, which I can write to like a Wordpad or Notebook document, but which then posts my written material to a website of my choice. Pretty cool.

Anyway, that’s about enough for me for today. I’m tired – I didn’t sleep at all last night, I travelled from Vancouver Island to Calgary, and I bought a new computer, whose battery is charging up as I type.

You on the other hand are changed forever because you have experienced the wonders of Linuxville, even if for just a moment.

Book in hand

The printed books are finally here!

We have been waiting a long time, and we finally have the printed books in our hands. It's pretty exciting to actually see it, hold it, and turn the pages.

There was a little glitch with the printing. Due to some kind of error at the printer, some of graphics didn't print properly in the first printing. Our Production Manager at Manning, Mary Piergies, told us this was the first time this happened in the 13 years she has been working there, and she has produced hundreds of titles. So, of course, it had to happen to our book! (What are the odds...?)
