Here's what Wilson (Jordan's brother/cousin, whatever that means...) posted in the blog on September 9th.
Epilog: Yes he is continuing to work through all of this medical calamity. MOL is going into the word processor and onto audio tapes almost daily. Not every day mind you, because the medical fight takes first priority. But, he told you he'd finish and he will. Fact is that it has been finished in his head for years. During a recent family sit around, he became the Gleeman and told the bones of it ALL to Harriet and me. You read that right, I did say ALL. Don't ask, ain't telling. Two and a half hours of story telling by the Creator himself went by in the twinkling of an eye. Truly magical. All I can say is WOW! Best stuff he's ever done. MOL is going to knock your socks off! That's a promise.
I'm saddened to hear of Jordan's death. Yes, there were parts (took me about 8 months to get through them this last time...) that were a little slow, but it was fantasy on a scale of epic proportions, and I thought he did a masterful job of it. Better than I could have done, at least.
As for the story, the author may change, but book twelve will come out, and have exactly the content that he originally intended. If the storytelling style changes a little bit, it may be a refreshing end to a fantastic saga.
I agree. I don't know about newer computers, but my server is a P-233 with 224MB of RAM IBM Thinkpad, which I keep on 24/7, with the lid closed, on the bottom shelf of my printer stand, with the router on top of it. It's just there as a personal dev server more than anything, but it's been running that way for almost a year now (ever since I absolutely couldn't do anything else on it as a mobile computer). I've never had any heating or cracking problems with it.
My University uses WebCT a bunch. I was saddened when FireFox 2.0 came out, and it would pop up a window every time I logged in that said the browser was unsupported. Now, they've updated their software and FF2 is good to go. However, the homepage now has the following notice:
The latest version of Internet Explorer does not work well with WebCT. We encourage you to use vesion 6 or download Firefox and use that. We will post a list of knwon issues with this browser once we have them. This will only be temporary until WebCT can resolve the browser issues. Thank you, WebCT Staff And that has been there a LOT longer than the FireFox alert was.:) Thank you, MicroSoft, for helping spread FireFox.
Just for reference: Pi = 3.141592653589793238462643383279...
Sadly, the last word of the fourth line, "law", should have four letters in it... How do I know this? You kind of have to already have Pi memorized while reading to catch it, but I memorized 80 digits of Pi in 8th grade because it was more fun than listening to my geometry teacher droning on.
And a little off topic, but just in case anybody's curious, that was the most memorable thing I learned in Jr. High. It's come in useful numberless times since. For example, the gals in my BC Calculus AP class in high school thought it was pretty neat. I guess that's only a good thing if you like math chicks...
