Saltation and other questions

[kinzel]

Part Oneth:

Can I ask you to do me, and all Theo Waitely fans, a favor?

Really, this is a modest favor...

Go to Google, or your other favorite search engine, and type in
Saltation or Saltation

Today, on google's page, I found the Saltation of interest to
Theo Waitley's fans at number 10 on the list -- right at the bottom of the page.

Select that Saltation... and visit the page. That's all. I note that in my
search of Fledgling on Google.... the Liaden story is second, as it is on google. Yikes, our Saltation is only 18th on Dogpile!

I note that a search on Saltation Steve Miller or Saltation Sharon Lee brings our Saltation to the fore immediately, as does Saltation Liaden or saltation liaden ... thank you!

Part Twoth:

The printer's front office and back office are not quite in sync, but they are getting there. By later today I should have a delivery date/time for Liaden Universe Companion #1 in "mass market" format. These will, fingers crossed, have a debut at Boskone, and then start shipping to stores. The week after Boskone we expect to start offering them for sale through the web. Cross fingers again.

Part Threeth:

Have you seen Shelfari? Reminds me in some ways of librarything, I guess. Who knew virtual shelf space would be valuable?

Part Fourth:

Being on the cutting edge ... sometimes means things are not as smooth as you like. We did the Second Life gig on Saturday, but I forgot to change my listening/voice so i couldn't hear Sharon a good part of the event ... meaning I had to run into her room to know when she wanted to talk. We'll learn the ways... but we did our gig and then had a great time talking to people after in front of the nifty SRM Publisher booth anhyala and Shawna conjured up for us.

To work: a timer just went off and I need to remember what I'm timing...

The hidden benefit to fulfilling your request and googling on "Saltation" is that one discovers all the currently top-ranked entries tend to give definitions for the term as used in the sciences, thus throwing more light on the probable course of Theo Waitley's as-yet unrevealed adventures :-)

Of course, the downside is that now I've already read this week's new chapter, and it's not even noon on Monday; I'll have to wait a whole seven days before my next fix :-(

Done. Also, tell Sharon we received the check today.

Saltation was #11 on google.co.uk just now (there are regional differences in sort order, I've found). After clicking through and repeating the search it was #10. Saltation Theo got #1 place first time. When I get back to work tomorrow I'll repeat the search from there to kick it a bit more from a different IP address.

Now up to #6 on google.co.uk. I will also repeat from work.

Dangit, I forgot about the SL gig. That was something that would have brought me back into SL for a day :)

I've done my part for the Saltation googlers of the world.

Searched and referenced using Google and Yahoo as requested. Tried my "search engine of choice" Ask.com first - it doesn't come up at all (or not through 12 pages references. I have no idea how they sort...

Dragon Tide arrived this weekend while I was gone - many thanks - loved the stories!
