Disappointed the Guardian article didn't mention you.
Delighted about the Vox Day/Beale vote being below the No Vote.
Happy birthday and hope this brings you more fame and (preferably) fortune - but not enough to put your feet up just yet.

Of course the rocket is always going to be pretty hefty in its own right.
]]>Hope you enjoy Shamrokon, it looked like it was fun and if I thought I had enough energy I'd be there (and miss the bloody Notting Hill Carnival outside my house).

]]>couple of unrelated comments following...
I'm happy that I postponed reading The Rhesus Chart so I could begin it while I was in London for the Worldcon. Turns out it's set (at least partly) in Canary Wharf, not far from the Excel! Much easier to visualize the action when you can visit the setting in real time.
also, Scrum! we joke about Scrum being an occult religion at work, so I just had to go tell everyone here about the novel.
Lastly, hairyears@5, I've recently read a novel that had Godzilla Bukkake: Crooked Little Vein, by Warren Ellis, the twisted mind that created Transmetropolitan.
