Well... no excuse for it, I guess. A very mixed up post.
Actually, some excuse:
been working on the newly revitalized Linux box, formerly known as Number5. New name... but that's a secret, right?
So I have Evolution installed for mail, and so far I've moved one mail account over. Not sure I like Evolution, but I'm not convinced about Kmail. If you love Kmail, tell me why I should consider it. I've also been working on the new Windows box, which is about where it needs to be. Now I have to finagle some cables so I have access to both from the same seat.
Yes, I will continue to work with OpenOffice, Firefox, and Opera, on both machines.
Yes, I've been using Nvu... not entirely happy with it, but that's me, I think. Basically it's been working and i redid some of the SRM catalog with it this week. I've looked at Scribus... and am not sure I wanna work with it right now. Could use some book templates to help me get started - anyone seen one?
Meanwhile, the visit to the new oral surgeon brings the news that there's been some time, and maybe a bit of bone graft, added to the timeline. Sigh -- if you see me at a convention and I'm not speaking up all that much, that could be it.
Printed a lot of flyers this week. If you'll be at AlbaCon (the NY state one), look for them. We won't be there, sorry to say.
Liaden Universe(R) Companion, Volume One, hardcover is in house and getting signed. In the mail sometime next week. If you weren't on the pre-order list I'm not sure we'll be able to help -- the binder sent real close to the ordered 300.Today Rolanni made up some new flyers for Necessary Evils, and they'll go in boxes we ship out and elsewhere. Going to or involved in a con you can take some flyers to? Let me know and I'll ship you some
So, those of you who know what makes a tree-chart work, and what it takes to be removed... when last I called Florida
my father dropped the information on me that some "rock-and-roll" singer was related to me. I laughed, and said, "yeah, right..." But then he said not to worry, the guy is dead! Anyhow, if JIM MORRISON's grandmother was my grandfather's mother does that mean that Jim Morrison was my great Uncle, twice removed? The sad thing is that during one of his moves my father lost the family tree my grandmother had made up many years ago...
We watched Maverick the other night.. fun, but not something I'll need to see again. We have Casablanca still in house, and ... something else. Brigadoon is on the way.
I hear the books calling my name. Got to go sign and pack. Maybe have some Doors music while I work...

Question for you, I'm going to order some of the books for my father's birthday present (sssh), can't get the ones I want through Barnes and Noble, so am trying to figure out where to order the omnibus books. Is there a favorite independent store you guys work with, or is ordering directly through Meisha Merlin best?
no subject
that's hard. We try to send people to... many of the independents. I'll probably forget some.... Uncle Hugos, The Missing Volume, Pandemonium, Borderlands, Children's Bookcellar...and many ceteras. In some cases they'll have books that are elsewise not in the distributuion channel.

But then I am sleep deprived, and may not have traced this correctly. Your lady has been silent--she is ill? Or have I just missed the posts?
Sympathies on the gums--they asked me to consider a bone graft for my lost molar, but what with the active LBb, I hesitate to put anything foreign in my mouth. Cadaver bone sounds REALLY foreign...

A "remove" is a generation. For example, my mother's first cousins are my first cousins, once removed.
Various consanguinity charts exist, but this one (http://www.geocities.com/BourbonStreet/1769/) has a great explanation for quick-and-dirty calculation of degree and removes (at the bottom), as well as a chart layout that's easily extended.
The thing to remember when using the charts is to go all the way back to the common ancestor as the reference point - not any uncles, aunts, or cousins.
