KK Chat - June 17, 2001, pt. 2

[17:43] <Tika> definitely!
[17:43] <Shiral>  They never taught THAT at St. Neots!
[17:43] <lbarms> lots of faith
[17:43] <AEves_Spirit> lol Shiral
[17:43] <Tika> I am finding that working on computers is a much more esoteric art than I originally believed it to be
[17:43] <KK> But they would've taught it, if they'd had magical thinking boxes....
[17:43] <Shiral>  Probably, yes.  They WERE very good at Higher Arcana
[17:43] <adupuis> Well, if you think about it, we all have natictrical
fields -- why not be able to affect electrical equipment?
[17:43] <scribbler> I just learned that St. Clare is the patron saint of television. Who is the patron saint of computers? 
[17:44] <Mike> Saint Puter! 
[17:44] <vegasunicorn> lol 
[17:44] <lbarms> lol
[17:44] <Shiral>  LOL
[17:44] <Wrengl>   LOL
[17:44] <Tika> ROFL
[17:44] <scribbler> LOL
[17:45] <Bynw> LOL 
[17:45] <AEves_Spirit> rofl
[17:45] <KK> Any of you computer-types seen Moths in the Machine?  It's by Daniel Kohanski, co-author of "Arilan the Talmud Student."
[17:45] <Shiral>  Nope, but it sounds promising.
[17:45] <Tika> no but I'd like to
[17:45] <scribbler> I'd love to see that latter story....
[17:45] <Wrengl>  No, sounds interesting though
[17:45] <adupuis> Saint Isidore of Seville is patron saint of computers, according to this website: http://www.scborromeo.org/saints/isidores.htm
[17:46] <scribbler> thx adupuis....
[17:46] <AEves_Spirit> How on earth can 'puters and TVs have patron saints?
[17:46] <KK> "Arilan the Talmud Student" was in DA, and will be in the Deryni Tales anthology.
[17:46] <Tika> my next question, AEves_Spirit
[17:46] <lbarms> I suppose you can have a patron saint for anything
[17:46] <KK> Of course.
[17:46] *** auntiedi has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:46] <Shiral>  Specifically, it's in DA 15  you can order it from Julianne Toomey, Roberta
[17:46] <AEves_Spirit> hi auntiedi
[17:46] <Shiral>  HI Auntie Di
[17:46] <auntiedi> hey y'all.
[17:46] <Bynw> how can someone born in 560 be the patron saint of computers
[17:46] <Tika> hey auntiedi!
[17:46] <adupuis> (I carry a St. Christopher medal as a good luck charm even though he was decanonized.... Seems to work just as well as any other good luck charm.)
[17:46] <scribbler> Well, St. Clare evidently had a vision of an event that took place hundreds of miles away, so that's why she's the patron saint of television....
[17:46] <KK> Hi, Auntie.
[17:47] <AEves_Spirit> I'll bet that Furbies dont have a patron saint...
[17:47] <LBM> Just so it's not "Roaches In The Machine!"  If so, I'll be outa here in a hurry!
[17:47] <KK> I'll bet they do!
[17:47] <Shiral>  Please, I hope not!!
[17:47] <Mike> I need a Saint Camber medallion!
[17:47] <great_hooded_one> i hope they don't
[17:47] <Wrengl>  Hi Auntiedi
[17:47] <KK> We're working on that idea--St. Camber medals.
[17:47] <lbarms> I am sure they have a patron saint
[17:47] <Shiral>  LBM, me too!!
[17:47] <scribbler> Oh, that would be so cool....
[17:47] <AEves_Spirit> Real ones, KK?
[17:47] <adupuis> I'd buy one (St. Camber medal)....
[17:47] <Tika> adupuis, my grandmother told her Monsignor (sp?) that she was going to always carry a St. Christopher medal, she didn't care what the church said!
[17:48] <auntiedi> me too
[17:48] <Rambart20> I'd buy one too
[17:48] <KK> (I wonder if roaches get into computers in Florida?  Mother will tell you that we had to keep <everything> in Tupperware!
[17:48] <Tika> ewwwwww
[17:48] <adupuis> Between St. Christopher and my Unicorn medallion, I've been kept pretty safe in my life. :-)
[17:48] <Shiral>  Ah yes, the  Palmetto Bugs.....
[17:48] <AEves_Spirit> Is that why Tupperware's HQ is in Florida?
[17:48] <Tika> I bet they do KK, I remember that from when I lived in Jacksonville
[17:48] <lbarms> good question Aeves
[17:48] <auntiedi> maybe tribbles are furbies patron saints.
[17:48] <KK> I'm sure that's why Tupperware was invented in Florida.
[17:48] * scribbler is glad the only bugs in her apartment are houseflies and her husband.....
[17:49] <Shiral>  Go where there is a need, and fill it
[17:49] <Tika> I was a Tupperware lady in Fla too LOL
[17:49] <AEves_Spirit> lol scribbler
[17:49] <adupuis> Roaches aren't the only bugs that like to crawl into computers....
[17:49] <Mike> KK, that would be so cool!  Make 'em out of sterling silver.
[17:49] <lbarms> I think there is a .dll stealing bug
[17:49] <AEves_Spirit> lol
[17:49] <Shiral>  www.bug.com.
[17:49] <KK> I've had the design for ages.  I'm checking out some sources for making enameled pins and medallions of various sorts.
[17:49] <Rambart20> LOL
[17:49] <scribbler> or pewter for those of us who are trying to save up for their Codex....
[17:49] <Bynw> cool
[17:50] <AEves_Spirit> Nu-uh!  Has to be solid 24 karat for Camber!
[17:50] <Shiral>  Yes, that would be nice to have a more popularly priced edition
[17:50] <auntiedi> and how is everyone tonite?
[17:50] <KK> Silver isn't actually that much more expensive than pewter. It's making the die that can get pricey.
[17:50] <Shiral>  Are you buying , Aeve? <G>
[17:50] <lbarms> how about "coins"  I could get them made in Turkey for about $3-4 each
[17:50] <AEves_Spirit> Yeah..,
[17:50] <Tika> ooo I like that idea
[17:50] <AEves_Spirit>
[17:50] <Rambart20> way cool
[17:51] <Rambart20> hey we are not that simple
[17:51] <Wrengl>  Coins can then be put in jewelry
[17:51] <lbarms> they will also make them into keychains
[17:51] <Rebecca> not too tired auntiedi considering the cats wouldn't let me sleep in!
[17:51] <KK> Yeah, but most people would never get around to having them mounted.
[17:51] <auntiedi>  or sewn onto clothing.
[17:51] <LBM> Or "Way kewl," as my grandaughter says, tee hee.
[17:51] <auntiedi>  evil cats.
[17:51] <KK> Maybe we ought to have a contest to design a St. Camber medal.
[17:51] <Kiri`> how about copper?
[17:51] <Tika> hehehe LBM
[17:52] <Shiral>  Or bronze
[17:52] <scribbler> Speaking of Codex, I have a question for those of you lucky souls that have one, or maybe KK can answer it directly: Was Torcuill de la Marche (royal council member during Cinhil's era) related to Camber's late wife Jocelyn? I think her maiden name was de la Marche, if I remember the genealogies...
[17:52] <Wrengl>  I think silver is easier to cast.
[17:52] <KK> Same family, I think, Scribbler.
[17:52] <scribbler> thx KK -- I was just wondering the actual connection, if it mentions....
[17:52] <Rebecca> maybe cousins?
[17:53] <lbarms> a mold for coins is only $25
[17:53] <Rambart20> what is the mold usaully made form
[17:53] <Rambart20> from
[17:53] <KK> Any of you into making jewelry?
[17:53] <Shiral>  I stick to the two dimensional stuff. <G>
[17:53] * Kiri` has made some.. but is no craftswoman
[17:53] <Wrengl>  Kathi was looking into it.
[17:54] * scribbler thinks it would be difficult to crochet a St. Camber medal.....
[17:54] <vegasunicorn> no, just wearing it
[17:54] <Kiri`> willbe away fo a bit.  need to rest back.
[17:54] <Shiral>  Even out of metallic yarn I think you're right, Roberta!!
[17:54] <Kiri`> crochet..   *giggling*
[17:54] <Rambart20> that would be interresting scribbler
[17:54] <LBM> I'm not leaving; just going to the kitchen to get my afternoon ice cream pigout.
[17:54] <Wrengl>  We were talking about it a while back
[17:54] <KK> Design is Camber in hooded robe holding the crown above his head.  Reverse shows a cypher of the letters of his name.
[17:54] <auntiedi>  ooooooo
[17:54] <Wrengl>  neato
[17:54] <scribbler> would it be similar to the illustration on deryni.net?
[17:54] <Shiral>  Sounds like a good design right there.
[17:54] <Rambart20> cool
[17:55] <KK> You mean, is it on paper?
[17:55] <KK> The cypher is; I can't draw people very well.
[17:55] <lbarms> Melissa?
[17:55] <Shiral>  I'm here,
[17:56] <lbarms> you draw people
[17:56] <KK> Could do Camber's coat of arms on the reverse instead of the cypher.
[17:56] <Shiral>  Now and then, yes. <G>
[17:56] <Shiral>  QUite a lot lately as it happens
[17:56] <scribbler> I like the coat of arms idea....
[17:56] <Wrengl>  I think the cipher works better
[17:57] <KK> Doing a figure on a medal involves some modeling--requires some skill. Someone who does game pieces might be able to do it.
[17:57] <KK> Give me a chance to make some inquiries.  It might be that an existing mold could be altered.
[17:57] <Shiral>  That's why I stick to the two dimensional stuff
[17:58] <AEves_Spirit> Have to go folks - work to do   Chat with you again soon, I hope.
[17:58] <Shiral>  Bye Aeve
[17:58] <auntiedi>  nite aeve
[17:58] <Wrengl>  night Aeves
[17:58] <lbarms> bye Aeves
[17:58] <Rambart20> bye Aeves spirit
[17:58] <Tika> niters AEves_Spirit
[17:58] <KK> A graphic design is easier.  We could do the cypher on one side and the shield on the others.
[17:58] <scribbler> Night, Aeve...
[17:58] <vegasunicorn> nite, Aeve
[17:58] <AEves_Spirit> Night all.
[17:58] <KK> Nite, Aeves.
[17:58] *** AEves_Spirit has quit IRC (QUIT: User exited )
[17:59] <auntiedi>  katherine, how was your trip home? were the cats thrilled to see you?
[17:59] <scribbler> How about the declaration? You know, the "Reges salvator, Defensor Hominum" etc.....
[17:59] <Wrengl>  But most saint's medals have the saint on them.
[17:59] <Rambart20> that is what I was thinking
[17:59] <KK> They're always thrilled to see us.  And Nicholas has settled in like a true trouper. 
[17:59] <auntiedi>  that's good.
[17:59] <scribbler> that could go around the edge on the front or back....
[17:59] <Bynw> LBM, dont forget to click on the heart to save the webpage in your AOL favorite places so you can come back here again :-)
[18:00] <auntiedi>  ah, another aol sufferer, i mean user.
[18:00] <Shiral>  The young are always adaptable. <G>  Nicky sounds smart enough to have figured out he's got a good deal
[18:00] <KK> I think she's gone to get ice cream--from her freezer, not out. Make sure you remind her when she's indicated she's back.
[18:00] <Bynw> I still use AOL
[18:00] <KK> He's going to be a very big cat.
[18:00] <Bynw> from time to time
[18:00] <KK> He's very solid already--rather like Jasta's Max.
[18:00] <auntiedi>  so do i , but it hates me, and is giving me a hard time connecting.
[18:01] <Wrengl>  I like AOL
[18:01] <KK> He's a softie, attention-wise, though.  I think he's going to be a lap cat.
[18:01] <Rambart20> I do not
[18:01] <Shiral>  I was cat sitting this weekend, and the absolute ruler of Judy's house is her twenty pound tabby named Sage.  Sage is not a domestic cat -- he's  a domestic Cougar
[18:01] <LBM> I'm back,and eating while I read.  I don't see any heart.  Oh wait, yes I do.
[18:01] <auntiedi>  whew.
[18:01] <KK> 20?!
[18:01] <Rambart20> 20 pounds?
[18:01] <Mike> What was the inscription under that statue?  Sanctus Camberus......
[18:02] <Shiral>  The thing is, while he's got some extra flesh, he's not a fat cat.  He's just HUGE.
[18:02] <KK> Sanctus Camberus, Defensor Hominum, as I recall.
[18:02] <auntiedi>  has anyone seen that photo going around of the cat that's like 60 or 80 pounds? this thing is huge.
[18:02] <Rambart20> that would be a neat inscription
[18:02] <great_hooded_one> think i might just go get some ice cream, too
[18:02] <Rebecca> my aunt and uncle have a 20+ pound cat.  He can't rollover.  Gets stuck on his back and then has to sway his feet to get momentum
[18:02] <Rambart20> I have (courtesy of Laura)
[18:02] <lbarms> I saw that photo
[18:02] <KK> Uh-oh, LBM has started something....  :-)
[18:02] <Shiral>  No, that sounds like animal abuse
[18:02] <KK> Yes, I saw that one.
[18:03] <lbarms> and I must say, I am very skeptical of its autheniticity
[18:03] <Shiral>  I would go get some ice cream if I had any!
[18:03] <Wrengl>  I have not seen that picture.
[18:03] <Mike> You could use something along those lines.
[18:03] <scribbler> Defensor Hominum, Salvator Gwyneddis, and some other stuff....
[18:03] <KK> I had great ice cream in the Newark airport on my way home. :-)
[18:03] * scribbler tries to remember the Latin for "Kingmaker"
[18:03] <auntiedi>  rexmaker? lol
[18:03] <Shiral>  Sage can rollover and do all the stuff cats normally do. He's just very, very large. He's tall at the shoulder and he's got a long body.
[18:03] <Rambart20> that should be on the paper money
[18:03] <Shiral>  Regis Creator, I think it is, Roberta
[18:04] <scribbler> that's it, thx....
[18:04] <LBM> My freezer is NEVER without ice cream.  It's my life's blood.:-))
[18:04] <auntiedi>  rebecca, you're awfully quiet, are you sleeping?
[18:04] <Shiral>  She's fallen asleep at the keyboard
[18:04] <Rebecca> just reading the banter
[18:04] <auntiedi> we shouldn't have kept her out so late last nite.lol
[18:04] <KK> We were talking about that [Michaeline Medal] only last weekend at the retreat.  That's one of the reasons I'm researching pins and medals.
[18:04] <great_hooded_one> well, melissa, i haven't figured out how to connect the spoon to the usb port...
[18:05] <auntiedi>  lol
[18:05] <Shiral>  ?
[18:05] <scribbler> get Hood a Michaeline medal as a belated Confirmation gift....
[18:05] * Tika chuckles
[18:05] <Rambart20> lol
[18:05] <Shiral>  Who'd want a Custodes Medal, anyway?
[18:05] <Shiral>  Nasty bunch of guys!!
[18:05] <Mike> KK - what could you use for shiral crystals? Amber?
[18:05] <auntiedi>  2 hubert.
[18:05] <Rambart20> lol
[18:05] <great_hooded_one> i think i have a medal of st michael somewhere
[18:05] <Tika> amber
[18:06] <KK> Yep, shiral is amber.
[18:06] *** Bynw is now known as Custodes_Inquisitor
[18:06] <auntiedi>  lol
[18:06] <Shiral>  Shiral is Analagous to Amber, and I've got a crystal!
[18:06] <scribbler> LOL Bynw
[18:06] <Tika> ack!
[18:06] <Tika> I was taking a sip of water when he did that and choked
[18:06] <Tika> LOL
[18:06] <Shiral>  Please Mister Custodes, Don't stick me full of needles!
[18:06] <auntiedi>  poor tika.
[18:07] *** Custodes_Inquisitor is now known as Bynw
[18:07] * KK is lamenting the fact that Custodes_Inquisitor cannot be booted.
[18:07] <scribbler> I've seen a seam ripper that comes in it's own case, and I thought it would make a good Deryni pricker....
[18:07] <auntiedi>  2 lol
[18:07] <Tika> hehehe
[18:07] <Shiral>  2 It's okay, he's back to normal!!
[18:07] * great_hooded_one backs off a bit, as gho's type of magic is rather black
[18:07] <KK> Now, there's a thought.  I have a nifty retractable seam-ripper.  I think I gave one to LBM, too.
[18:08] <Shiral>  NOW see what you've done, Scribbler!!
[18:08] <scribbler> oops, sorry....
[18:08] <Tika> we saw a beautiful gem exhibit at the natural science musem and it had some wonderful specimens of amber... Bynw was eyeing them most covetously (is that a word??)
[18:08] <auntiedi>  luckily, we haven't come up with the formula for merasha yet, have we?
[18:08] <Rambart20> yet
[18:08] <KK> Covetously it is.
[18:08] <Shiral>  Careful, some folks might start experimenting!
[18:08] <Tika> oh good
[18:08] <auntiedi>  true
[18:09] <Rambart20> I may have to use it on the kids
[18:09] <scribbler> tequila has an analagous effect on me....
[18:09] <Tika> LOL
[18:09] <Mike> This summer I plan on a trip to Arkansas and will get some neat quartz crystals to add to my collection.
[18:09] <Shiral>  You can't use your powers after a margarita, Roberta?
[18:09] * Bynw wanted some shiral...amber is perfect for it
[18:09] <Tika> for me it would be codiene, as I have found out recently, ugh
[18:09] <scribbler> actually, it takes several....
[18:09] <KK> Probably St. Michael on the obverse and the badge of the order on the reverse--the enflamed cross moline fitchy. [Describing Michaeline Medal in Camber's day]
[18:09] <Shiral>  I'm still trying ways to figure out how to make my Shiral Crystal Glow, Kk. <G>
[18:09] <scribbler> Ah, yes, codeine, the magic elixer....
[18:10] <Mike> I want some amber too.
[18:10] <Tika> it makes me violently ill, scribbler
[18:10] <KK> You have to hold your mouth just right.  ;-)
[18:10] <auntiedi>  lol
[18:10] <Tika> hehe
[18:10] <Shiral>  If you can't have a codex, you need Codeine...
[18:10] <Bynw> lol
[18:10] <Shiral>  LOL, KK!
[18:10] <Bynw> anyone with $800 can get codex
[18:10] <lbarms> I will take the codex over codeine any day
[18:10] * Rambart20 snickers
[18:10] <scribbler> A friend of mine can't take codiene or morphene; when he was in the Navy they gave him some by mistake and he almost died...
[18:10] <auntiedi>  yikes
[18:11] <Mike> Melissa, give your amber lots of praise...... I'm sure it will just glow!  *G*
[18:11] <Shiral>  Tough way to find that out!
[18:11] <lbarms> I wished I could have died after taking Codeine
[18:11] <KK> Did anyone ver find out what happened to that copy that got withdrawn at the last minute on e-Bay?
[18:11] <Shiral>  LOL, Mike!
[18:11] <Shiral>  Maybe the seller realized  "Hey, this means I have to PART with my Codex" and chickened out?
[18:11] <Bynw>  they probably realized that they didnt really want to part with it
[18:11] * Bynw will not part with his Codex
[18:12] * Shiral won't either.
[18:12] * Rambart20 neither will bart
[18:12] * Wrengl won't either
[18:12] <auntiedi>  my theory is that they didn't get to $800 fast enough, and decided not to let it go for $200+
[18:12] * scribbler wishes she had a Codex, but will settle for Codex II when it finally comes out....
[18:12] <auntiedi>  they're gonna have to pry my loan from my cold dead fingers.
[18:12] * Rebecca neither. But she is willing to take it on road trips
[18:12] * Shiral hugs her COdex and shakes head violently at the thought of parting with it!
[18:12] * Tika would get a Codex for Jessie if she had an extra $800
[18:12] <auntiedi>  yes, i SAW a codex for the first time ever last nite.
[18:12] <Mike> Lets all go after Rob with our Deryni prickers and hurry up his Codex work!
[18:12] <Shiral>  I'm planning to be buried with my copy, Auntiedi
[18:13] * Bynw took his to DragonCon and will have it again with him at Darkover
[18:13] <Rambart20> or make him do a cd-rom version
[18:13] <Rebecca> di you din't just see it.  You opened it!
[18:13] <Shiral>  I'll take it with me when carefully warded
[18:13] <scribbler> I still need to get the film developed with all the Codexes (Codecies?) lined up on KK's lap....
[18:13] <auntiedi>  i'm hoping they don't send me the copy from the library of congress, i'd really hate to tick off congress by not giving it back. good point rebecca
[18:13] <lbarms> watch out for her killer spiders ;-)
[18:13] <Shiral>  You betcha
[18:13] <KK> Whose killer spiders?!
[18:14] <lbarms> Melissa's
[18:14] * vegasunicorn can't wait for C2 ---wishes she hadn't missed out on 1st Codex
[18:14] <Shiral>  Mine.  My Codex and my Map are both guarded by Nano explosives that are disguised to look like spiders. <G>
[18:14] *** great_hooded_one has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer )
[18:14] <Tika> oops
[18:14] <KK> Hmmm, that's right.  And you all thought librarians were mild-mannered....
[18:14] <scribbler> feel free to tick off Congress, auntie; they tick me off every day....
[18:14] <Shiral>  It's been very helpful at keeping Kiri at bay!
[18:14] <Tika> I think we forgot to ward the room against peer
[18:14] <Mike> Mike agrees with Bart re; the CD-rom
[18:14] <Tika> attacks
[18:14] <Shiral>  We are.  But we're attatched to our Codices!
[18:15] <lbarms> I almost got past it but backed out at the last minute <G>
[18:15] *** great_hooded_one has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[18:15] <Shiral>  WB, GHO
[18:15] <Rambart20> all we have to do is get the rest to agree
[18:15] <Wrengl>  wb gho
[18:15] <great_hooded_one> i've been having this weird internet problem
[18:15] <scribbler> wb Hood...
[18:15] <auntiedi>  wb hood.
[18:15] <adupuis> Please let Rob finish the Atlas first! :-)
[18:15] <Rambart20> wb gho
[18:15] <great_hooded_one> my connection always dies at *exactly* two hours
[18:16] <Shiral>  We will, I WANT that atlas!!
[18:16] <KK> Peer probably wanted Hood's ice cream.  Watch out, LBM!
[18:16] <auntiedi>  evil connection
[18:16] <auntiedi>  me too.
[18:16] <Shiral>  Tee hee!
[18:16] <great_hooded_one> lol, kk
[18:16] <lbarms> You must have a connection like Kitarak's.  His alway cuts him off after 2 hours also
[18:16] <adupuis> The poster map's scheduled to be released in November, along with the atlas.
[18:17] <Rebecca> yeah!
[18:17] <scribbler> sounds like you might need to set something in some control panel....
[18:17] <Shiral>  Whoopeeeeeee!!!!
[18:17] <Rebecca> when does Rob have to have that manuscript in?
[18:17] <great_hooded_one> dunno
[18:17] <vegasunicorn> YAY!
[18:17] <adupuis> It should be available at Darkover. :-)
[18:17] <Shiral>  Early September he said, Rebecca
[18:17] <auntiedi>  ok, if i wanna preorder this thru amazon, what listing should i look for.
[18:17] <KK> They're advertising that the new UK server services that give unlimited hookup time will also be doing it in two-hour increments.  You can reconnect as often as you want, but only for 2 hours at a time.
[18:17] <great_hooded_one> it's not a hardware problem- the same thing happens with two different modems
[18:17] <adupuis> Rob's deadline is the beginning of September. (Just after Labor Day, I think.)
[18:18] <Rambart20> any book stores
[18:18] * Bynw will pick the atlas and map up at Darkover
[18:18] <Tika> Bynw's "unlimited" service is for 5 hours
[18:18] <Rambart20> i.e waldenbooks , b.dalton
[18:18] <Rebecca> good.  Then he won't get bogged down with beginning of the semester stuff
[18:18] <KK> Nancy, who's editing the series, is watching for it around then.  And apparently Jennifer got a reprieve.
[18:18] <adupuis> That's my deadline, too (for the maps, including the full color poster map, which will also be the cover image for the Atlas).
[18:18] <scribbler> I think he said that they wanted it out by Darkover....
[18:18] <Mike> Hastings is still waiting on the paperback edition of KKB.
[18:18] <Shiral>  Yes he did
[18:18] <adupuis> Atlas and poster map will be available through book stores and also hobby/game stores. And amazon.com, etc.
[18:19] <Rambart20> cool
[18:19] <Rebecca> Yes, jennifer said last night taht her book's been pushed back to Dec
[18:19] <KK> Paperback KKB should be available by now.
[18:19] <scribbler> my connection disappears if "no network activity" is detected....like if I'm reading a long web page....
[18:19] <adupuis> Hmmm... I'd better get the listing posted so you *can* preorder through Amazon. :-)
[18:19] <auntiedi>  please do. :-)
[18:19] <Rambart20> please!
[18:19] <Shiral>  You  would make large numbers of people very happy, Ann. <G>
[18:20] <Rebecca> KKB paperback is listed as being available in July on Amazon and Barnes and Noble
[18:20] <KK> And remember to order with Amazon through the website; the kickback we get will go to finance projects like the medals.
[18:20] <scribbler> that usually means it's out about a month before....
[18:20] <adupuis> Well, it's Jennifer's first professional gig as a writer, so I built some extra time into the schedule. Then it occurred to me that if I published the Atlas first, and included some "quick start" rules in the Atlas, that might actually drive some sales for the roleplaying game, especially through book stores.
[18:20] *** lbarms has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer )
[18:20] <Bynw> good thinking there Ann
[18:20] <Bynw> ooop Peer just got Laura
[18:20] <emily> Hi I'm back the troops have been fed!
[18:20] <Shiral>  Peer has raised his ugly head
[18:20] <adupuis> And it's *not* Rob's first professional gig, so I'm not worried about him missing a deadline. And Nancy, the editor, is a real go-getter who keeps right on top of things.
[18:20] <Shiral>  Hi Emily
[18:21] <Shiral>  WB
[18:21] <auntiedi>  hiya emily
[18:21] <scribbler> Can we post a note in the NG when we can order KKB through the website?
[18:21] <scribbler> time for peer counseling....
[18:21] <auntiedi>  lol scribbler
[18:21] <Shiral>  Rob works AMAZINGLY fast
[18:21] <great_hooded_one> mom says her headache says hello...
[18:21] *** lbarms has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[18:21] <Shiral> Hi to Eileen's HEadache then
[18:21] <Shiral>  WB, Laura
[18:22] <auntiedi>  wb ibarms.
[18:22] <scribbler> wb, Laura....
[18:22] <lbarms> did I kill myself or did peer get me?
[18:22] <Rebecca> peer
[18:22] <Shiral>  IT was nasty Peer
[18:22] <Rambart20> wb laura
[18:22] <lbarms> darn that nasty peer
[18:22] * auntiedi is wondering if i shoudl get a paperback of kkb, seeing as it's hard to open the bronzed version on the altar.
[18:22] <scribbler> Peer snuck up on you during a Duel Arcane....
[18:22] <KK> Nancy expressed interest in the fact that Rob isn't required to do rewrites if necessary.  I've told her not to worry.  If it's necessary, he'll do them of course--but Rob doesn't often need rewrites.  Only if he's gotten the wrong information.  We worked well together on Codex I.  He's very professional.
[18:22] <Shiral>  LOL, Auntie!
[18:22] <Mike> Fearless Peer had one too many beers!
[18:22] <Shiral>  Not to mention that it would be lighter to hold!
[18:22] <scribbler> tell your mom I hope she feels better....
[18:23] <lbarms> lol antiedi
[18:23] <auntiedi>  much
[18:23] <scribbler> And paperback KKB takes up less space in the daypack....
[18:24] <scribbler> I don't know how well Brother Theo would react if he was told he had to do a rewrite....
[18:24] <Shiral>  He'd go hit the mead!
[18:24] <lbarms> what?  I was defeated in a duel arcane?
[18:24] <Rambart20> hey all I need to be going, thanks for stopping by KK, and Laura let me know what you think of chapter 11 and /or you think some changes should be made
[18:24] <scribbler> you were ambushed, Laura....
[18:24] <Shiral>  Night, Rambart
[18:24] <Rambart20> night all
[18:24] <auntiedi>  didn't even know you were fighting, eh ibarms?
[18:24] <scribbler> night, Bart....
[18:24] <Wrengl>  cya Bart
[18:24] <auntiedi>  nite rambart.
[18:24] <Mike> Bye Bart
[18:24] <lbarms> bye bart
[18:25] <Shiral>  Peer was cowardly and snuck up behind you, Laura
[18:25] <vegasunicorn> nite Bart
[18:25] * Rambart20 stepps onto the portal and disappears to the cornfields of Iowa
[18:25] <adupuis> If I didn't work the same way -- produce a final draft as my first draft ;-) -- I might have doubted Rob when he said he only needs one draft.
[18:25] *** Rambart20 has left #Deryni_Destinations
[18:25] <KK> Well, his style is never a problem.  It would only be if he'd misinterpreted, or tried to tell too much.  (I did have to rein him back a few times on the first Codex.  Can't let him write me into any corners.... :-)
[18:25] <lbarms> just wait til I can get peer on an even playing field
[18:25] <Shiral>  Perish the thought, KK
[18:25] <auntiedi>  iomaire, ibarms?
[18:26] <lbarms> sounds good to me
[18:26] <Rebecca> Katherine, you missed a great gathering last night.  You should've seen Jasta's face when Linda handed her a gift from a certain Prince Nigel.
[18:26] <Shiral>  Just don't go galloping into the woods after the main battle, Laura!
[18:26] <auntiedi>  it was priceless
[18:26] <Shiral>  LOL!
[18:26] <scribbler> LOL!
[18:26] <KK> What did you guys give Jasta?!
[18:26] <Rebecca> garden gloves!
[18:27] <Shiral>  Linda bought her a pair <G>
[18:27] <auntiedi>  rebecca, did jennifer get a picture of jasta? i don't remember.
[18:27] <KK> LOL
[18:27] <great_hooded_one> brb - mom *suggested* that i take care of laundry...
[18:27] <Rebecca> yes she did.
[18:27] <Shiral>  I wrote the note that accompanied them!
[18:27] <auntiedi>  and a personalized note from nigel
[18:27] <KK> Were they pretty garden gloves?
[18:27] <Rebecca> She turned as red as the Haldane red cloth they were wrapped in
[18:27] <scribbler> always pay attention to mom's "suggestions"....
[18:27] <auntiedi>  hood, i got some laundry needs switching too...
[18:28] <Rebecca> not as nice as Meraude's alas
[18:28] <lbarms> even if she doesnt use the 4 letter word.  Right Jessie?
[18:28] <Shiral>  I'll bet she did. Those Gardening GLoves will haunt her for the rest of her life, I'll bet!
[18:28] <auntiedi>  i suspect you're right shiral
[18:28] <Mike> I'm gonna head out now.  My roommate is itching to get beaten in computer Yahtzee!
[18:28] <Shiral>  Bye Mike
[18:28] <auntiedi>  nite mike
[18:28] <Wrengl>  Cya Mike
[18:28] <scribbler> have fun, Mike...
[18:28] <auntiedi>  shiral, when does donald leave? or has he already?
[18:28] <Bynw> cya Mike
[18:28] <Shiral>  He left yesterday, Auntie
[18:28] <vegasunicorn> bye, Mike
[18:29] <lbarms> watch out for the cyber ambush Mike
[18:29] <Shiral>  I think he should be back in Sydney by now
[18:29] <auntiedi>  i don't envy him that trip.
[18:29] <Mike> *Mike steps on to his portal and vanishes*
[18:29] *** Mike has left #Deryni_Destinations
[18:29] <Shiral>  He flew out of LAX at ten last night
[18:29] <KK> Well, it's nearly 12:30 here, guys, so I'm off as well--or I'll be too sleepy to write tomorrow.  And you wouldn't want that! ;-)
[18:29] <auntiedi>  NEVER!!!!!
[18:29] <Shiral>  He said it wasn't so bad on the way over here, as it was a pretty empty flight.  He had room to stretch out across three seats
[18:29] <auntiedi>  2 nite katherine, sleep well.
[18:30] <lbarms> well all, my fatigue banishing spell is beginning to wear thin
[18:30] <scribbler> sleep well, KK....

[18:31] <emily> So did I miss any new info on Childe Morgan?
[18:31] <Shiral>  Have a very fruitful week, KK
[18:31] * lbarms steps into her portal before all of her powers have faded and disappears into the night
[18:31] <emily> Have a great week KK
[18:31] <auntiedi>  (be fruitful and multiply?)
[18:31] <scribbler> and my husband has just asked for the 10th time when we're going shopping, so I'll sign off too....take it easy all....
[18:31] <Shiral>  Well, a child will probably die

[18:31] <Shiral>  Night Scribbler
[18:31] <Rebecca> emily, the child may be drowned
[18:32] <emily> Melissa, is this the first child Donal tries to have?
[18:32] <emily> Oh no, Rebecca
[18:32] * scribbler picks up her cloak and slips into the secret passageway leading to the front gate; the wall closes behind her.....
[18:32] <KK> Night, all.
[18:32] <Wrengl>  Thumper says to dream of many pig's ears and share them with the canine children.
[18:32] <Shiral>  Night KK
[18:32] <Bynw> Night Katherine
[18:32] *** scribbler has quit IRC (QUIT: User exited )
[18:32] <vegasunicorn> night, KK
[18:32] <adupuis> Please give Thumper a good night hug for me.
[18:32] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodbye, and disappears.
[18:32] <Rebecca> yes, emily
[18:32] <Shiral>  I think it's the first of the two Deryni "Helper" children that Donal tries to sire, yes. But it's not his first child
[18:33] <emily> Rebecca, is the drowning  on purpose, or by accident?
[18:33] <Shiral>  Hey, EVERYBODY"S leaving by portal these days. <G>
[18:33] <adupuis> (Ann wishes she knew how to wave fish and exit by portals and things like that. She only knows how to chat.)
[18:33] <Bynw> you did help establish the room's portal
[18:33] * KK 's voice calls out, "Brion is about a year old.....
[18:33] <emily> I cried when Richeldis's twin was murdered
[18:33] <Wrengl>  Probably won't see you next week as we will be in Maryland.  Unless I can get my friend to lend me his computer.
[18:33] <Shiral>  I know, my proudest moment
[18:33] <Rebecca> she didn't say.  But in the past it's been intimated that it's murder disguised as an accident
[18:33] <Shiral>  Who WAS that disembodied voice, we just heard?
[18:34] <Tika> niters KK
[18:34] <auntiedi>  the lone writer?
[18:34] <Shiral>  Very goood
[18:34] <LBM> I'll say bye now too.  Thanks again, Chris, and I'll click on the heart and see what happens.
[18:34] <KK> :-)
[18:34] <KK> Cheshire cat smile.
[18:34] <Bynw> Alright LBM
