I received the replacement modem today. The first thing I did was to plug it into the old power supply. Guess what? I isolated the problem to the old power supply. I immediately tried the old modem with the new power supply and guess what? I haven’t been able to… Continue reading
Sheesh, I can’t believe I was a dial-up hold out for so many years. Now, limping along without my DSL is extremely painful. It’s dial-up or isolation. Here’s hoping my high-speed replacement arrives soon. I drove down to Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale today and heard a reading by S.M. Stirling…. Continue reading
I got home from work today and discovered my wireless modem is no more. It’s pushing up the daisies. It’s climbed the curtain and joined the choir invisible. It is an ex-modem. I thought these things were supposed to die right after the warranty expires, not with over 2 years… Continue reading
Suddenly I have a rash of short fiction ideas. After the nightmarish workload I had last week (just shy of 70 hours) I started writing again on monday evening. I threw down 1000 words on a short fiction piece I have slated for J.J. Adams’ Federations anthology. I’m not sure… Continue reading
Today I have a mish-mash of news. First, something sad. I arrived at work this morning to learn that one of my co-workers was killed in a motorcycle accident over the holiday weekend. It’s spooky because I sat in his office on thursday last week, thinking to myself that I… Continue reading
I ran over to coppercon again today, mostly because my daughter Reanna wanted to go to the mall with her friends. So, I left her with her friends (and one friend’s mother) and went to the con that was a block away. I had my camera this time. I was… Continue reading
Todays panels at Coppercon went well. I finally got the chance to sit on a panel with both Emily and Ernest Hogan, two Phoenix writers who I have known for several years. I had lunch with Jack Mangan, Michelle M. Welch, and her husband Lejon. The panel on bringing SF… Continue reading
It looks like the hoobaloo at work that has me working long hours might be showing signs of resolution. It’s not a done deal yet, but good progress has been made. After working over 14 hours yesterday, getting home at 11:00PM, I got home at 6:00 today then had an… Continue reading
I regret to announce that I no longer get to be a writer. My day job, the one that pays the mortgage, is consuming pretty much all my waking hours. That means there isn’t much point in maintaining a blog until my situation changes. Farewell. www.ricknovy.com
We arrived safely from the weekend excursion to the famous (not really, I hadn’t heard of them) Lava Tubes. I also don’t know why people call it Lava Tubes when there is only one of them. It’s a 1-1/2 mile out-and-back hike with no choice but to come back because… Continue reading
