The Sauder Diaries On Six Sunday – 29 April 2012

Post Views: 275 From “The Sauder Diaries — By Any Other Name“: Hans looked at her for a long moment. He thought about everything she had said and what some of it implied. He thought back to his reaction to the conversation with the widow-spy. He nodded. “I will stay. I think it will be a far better education than I am likely to find anywhere else right now.” If you’re not familiar with “Six Sentence Sunday”, swing over to http://www.sixsunday.com/ and take a look.

The Sauder Diaries On Six Sunday – 20 April 2012

Post Views: 271 From “The Sauder Diaries — By Any Other Name“: “…You are the only man worth me on that scow! Do you not understand, Hans?” “I understand that I leave for England in two sunrises, Annika. The last thing either of us need is to fall in love. Good night, Captain-Gunner.” He left her standing in the water with her jaw agape. If you’re not familiar with “Six Sentence Sunday”, swing over to http://www.sixsunday.com/ and take a look.

Recovery In Progress

Post Views: 382 Well, my day went sideways this morning… a customer called at 8am to tell me his office had a fire and his server closet with his firewall and PBX got sprinklered to death. I’m getting a disaster system set up for them on one of my Cloudphones PBXs and then spending the afternoon mapping out next steps. This is going to be one of those times where 20/20 says that if the customer had prepped the disaster recovery plan in advance, he’d be sweating a whole lot less right now.

The Sauder Diaries On Six Sunday – 08 April 2012

Post Views: 358 From “The Sauder Diaries — By Any Other Name“: The next three days passed rather pleasantly. Dangerously so, Hans thought. There was a solid physical routine coupled with some kind of daily challenges to his intellect or his character. They forced him to look at everything around him with a sense of sharpness in a way he had not since his early days at the University in Heidelberg.

Progress update on the “Lazarus Edition”

Post Views: 293 The hope had been to have the “The Sauder Diaries – By Any Other Name” republished for April 1st. However, I’m personally not happy where the editing stands at this time. Essentially, I’m re-polishing the entire book. There were a lot of spots in the Trestle Edition that the book would have benefited from a proper editing job. So, what about you folks who bought the Trestle Edition? Well, the plan is that when the “Lazarus Edition” goes up on Smashwords, if you send me proof-of-purchase from either Barnes & Noble or Amazon of the Trestle Edition, then I’ll give you a voucher for a free copy of the Lazarus Edition. That seems fair to me. Let me know what you think. I am hoping…
