The good news is that I’ve landed in California. The bad news is that we were diverted to San Diego due to some sort of problem at LAX.
More anon.
…a few minutes later.
OK, the plan is to refuel and then head up the coast. We’ll see how long that takes.
Update at 15:15 PDT. Heading home from LAX.
I’m headed down to Long Beach for the Space Tech Expo. I’m not taking a computer, just my phone, so I may put up brief posts, but nothing extensive, or linky.
For those wondering from my post the other week, he has contacted me.
I was traveling most of last week, and I’m now frantically trying to finish the book. Plus, I had a tooth extracted this morning.
Just in case anyone was wondering why blogging has been light to non-existent.
[Wednesday morning update]
Thanks for the sympathy, but it’s really not that bad. The extraction was almost painless, with lidocaine, and I’ve only experienced a little swelling, and not much pain, on ibuprofen. I feel pretty much back to normal today. Next related project is an implant, in a few months after the bone graft has filled in and healed, but my experience with those is that they’re not a big deal, either. Modern dentistry is one of the many reasons that I wouldn’t want to have been born in an earlier era.
Has anyone heard from him recently (i.e., in the last couple years)?
[Evening update]
OK, look, folks. I’m not stupid. I’ve done searches. I’m asking people who actually know him, and might know what’s up.
Ed Driscoll has what looks like an interesting post on the space colonization movement, but unfortunately, I don’t seem to be able to link to it. The URL looks fine, but it redirects back to http://pjmedia.com/eddriscoll/. Is it just me? Can anyone else see it?
[Update a while later]
OK, just got a new URL from Ed, that works. I haven’t actually read the whole thing yet, because I couldn’t see the second page, but I may have more commentary after I do.
Over the weekend, I installed a WordPress plugin to allow a wide range of social media sharing. Apparently it was causing a lot of problems, so I deactivated it yesterday. In case anyone was wondering.
I drove up to Mojave and back yesterday, and then got busy trying to tweak the book website, so posting has obviously been light.
Can anyone tell me why the sidebar is displaying at the bottom of the page on the static home page, but on the side where it belongs on the dynamic pages? I’m not seeing any significant difference in the code, unless it’s a stylesheet issue.
We have relatives visiting from out of town, and are driving up to the Carmel and the Central Coast for a couple days. I probably won’t bring a computer. Back on the air on Saturday, likely.
…and to all a good night.
I’m heading back to St. Louis in the morning, then on a plane back to Greece on the Pacific aka the formerly Golden State. I’ll probably check in tomorrow evening, PST.
