Re: Everyone, press F for my keyboard.

F is for find, as in find yourself an IBM Model M keyboard.

Unicomp makes them now, available with USB so you can use it with almost any PC laptop or desktop.

They do make more noise than cheap modern keyboards.
The only lights are the lock indicators.
With a little care they last decades.

Re: A long lament.

Kamala Harris has a history of not respecting the rights which the US Constitution protects. Kamala Harris has a history in California as a gun grabber. From 21 January 2021 onward she can declare Joe Biden is mentally unfit to continue in the office of President and take over as Acting President. H...

Re: WTF

The use of the name Jason for the MC goes back at least as far as Jason and the Argonauts.

In the first chapter the aliens are described as having tusks, so they seem more like purple space orcs than space elves.

Re: A head's up.

I've had time for a whie, but my writing laptop was having issues (it's very old and has a version of Word on it you can't get anymore, so I don't want to replace it). I think I have it mostly fixed, so I should be able to get back on something of a reduced writing schedule. I think this shows some...

Re: Revolution Chapter 10 (Spoilers)

Fleet Commander Au Mai Sha Ra is still locked up in a space station prison for telepathic inmates orbiting Luna.
The quarantine of that needs to be secure.
Out of all the Benga in the known universe she does not make the cut for the first billion I would want to become a Generation.

Re: Revolution Chapter 9 (Spoilers)

Wondering how effective as a biohazard quarantine the lockdown of that ward at FMS HQ is?
It can keep out Kimdori after all.
The idea occurred to me that it would be poetic justice if the virus in their facility mutated into something deadly and the FMS crew that created it were the only victims.

Re: Revolution Ch 6 - (SPOILERS)

I doubt the Trillanes are knowingly involved in whatever the FMS was getting up to on Earth during it's occupation. Their role, if anything, was more likely to be one along the lines of deliberate neglect. In that they simply didn't care much about what happened to the Humans, so long as their quot...

Re: Revolution, chapter 5 (spoilers)

Jason left the welfare of the farm survivors to the U.N. when he left for Karis, and he's positive that instead of helping them, someone in the department that runs the program is stealing the money instead. He knows that he's partially to blame for what's happening. That has been SOP at the UN for...

Re: Revolution Ch 3 (SPOILERS!!!!)

1) Some empire is going to set Jason off and get blasted back to the stone age. I concur. 2) Extra-galactic Faey are going to show up and odds are they are going to be extremely warlike. I think Fel mentioned that either Consortium or the Syndicate where going to basically need the Confederation's p...

Re: Need some new author recommendations!

An author I could suggest is:

Christopher G. Nuttall
http://www.chrishanger.net/

He writes sci-fi, fantasy, alternate history.
His own favorite authors are on your list.

Re: Revolution Chapter 2 (Spoilers)

One thing that puzzles me; In one of the earlier books Jason says about a couple of his daughters that aside from ear shapes, skin and hair colors they look exactly like baby pictures of his (Jason's) mother. How is it that he could remember what baby pictures of his mother looked like, yet cannot r...
