Well, that was sweet of him. He's following me now as well!! Thank you, zeep, for letting me know he was out there on Twitter. I owe you at least one, and probably several.

Stephen Fry's blog is here:
http://www.anotherchancetosee.com/se.../Stephen%20Fry
and it also lists his latest twitter posts.

Apparently Mr Fry owns a Sony Reader and has visited MobileRead and downloaded some of our books and conversion tools.
This older post mentions the Jules Verne uploads in particular:
http://www.anotherchancetosee.com/20...frys-blog.html

Perhaps he visits the lounge in disguise...

Unfortunately, from his third-last twitter post, I believe he has been mostly eaten by a giant weta in the land of the long, white cloud. The human-shaped specimen that returned is merely a super-smart, spine-attached weta wrapped in some leftover, long pork (deep-Fried?). If it's any compensation, I've heard wetas are an absolute laugh-riot, so hopefully the wit will live on.

Cheers,
Marc

/me starts looking around to see which of the llounge llamas could be stephen fry incognito... good god, it could be almost anyone... not patricia because i've met her and she's a lot shorter than stephen fry... not lazy scot or mindy unless they've signed a pact of secrecy together... hmm, maybe it's sparrow !!!

i'm not at all surprised that stephen fry has a liseuse, i wouldn't have expected less of him, after all he loves gadgets and technology (except vista. ) however the fact that he knows about mr opens up dizzying new perspectives of potential far-fewer-than-6-degrees-separation. i think i'm having palpitations again. (fans self with flattened hand and takes deep breaths)

i find it deeply reassuring to see that stephen fry's reactions to arachnids and giant insects is very similar to my own (except of course that i would never let them actually crawl on me. i don't understand that at all). it makes him somehow more human and accessible, as we have that primal terror in common.
