Gone Fishing -- Might be some time ... Neil Marr
Sorry if anyone's noticed (though there's no reason you should) my absence in daily activity on MobileRead over the past week. Hope to be back on Monday/Tuesday and catch up as best I can.
A project come up that's so staggeringly impossible, wildly over-ambitious and utterly bloody potty that it tickles the heck out of me. I can't resist trying to crack it. I've been getting there over the past week and reckon I've already turned the impossible a possibility and can make it to high-probability with continued full concentration over the next two days ... and then a reality in Sept/Oct. All good fun, but hard head-work and I've been missing the friendly chats and swapped advice, tips and thoughts here. Looking forward to getting this one off the stocks and being back in the MR swing within a few days. Happy weekend, lads and lassies. Neil |

Thanks, folks. Just a quick drive-by because I've had email alerts about posts in this thread and needed to say hello.
Sorry, KindleKitten that I've sworn a death oath to secrecy, but the wording of VivialdiRules' line above cleverly sums up the basics. We've already caught the wild goose we were chasing. The challenge now lies in taming it. I've already taught it sit-up-and-beg and it can quack the gentlemanly rules of cricket ... one thing I can't teach it is how to play roll-over-and-die. So I'm gonna give up on that idea and now teach it a few more constructive tricks. Back soon. Love, best wishes and karma to all. Neil |
