Ideas - Price in new book RSS feed - posted 3 months ago
Good idea! We'll add it shortly.Bugs - Wrong time - posted 3 months ago
At the moment, we make some assumptions about Daylight Savings Time applying everywhere (and starting on the same dates). Since Sidney does its DST at the *opposite* period of the year as the US, the times end up off.Eventually we'll do it more precisely, but it won't be very soon. So you just need to manually adjust the time to get it just right.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Eastern Standard Tribe - Just getting started - posted 4 months ago
which technology seems particularly futuristic to you?Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom - what drives whuffie? - posted 4 months ago
I originally thought of it as explicit, kinda like a blog post/link/rating.But...
"I pinged my Whuffie. I was up a couple percentiles -- sympathy Whuffie -- but it was falling: Dan and Lil were radiating disapproval. Screw 'em."
Does this mean that Dan and Lil's emotional state and its object were automatically "scraped"? Or that other people are watching this scene, and "rating" him? Or what?
Help - problem adding book roll to my blog - posted 4 months ago
I'm seeing it on your blog now. Did you do anything since posting to make it appear?Eastern Standard Tribe - loved it enough to buy 5 copies for friends - posted 5 months ago
Actually, employees of mine at the time."Tribes are ways of getting things done."

You don't get this mix, of the surreal with real-world public-policy, from too many peopleAccelerando - one of my favorite books of last few years - posted 5 months ago
Esp the first third, where things are relatively close to current reality. Awesome vision of transitional period.Scroogled - Funny but scary - posted 5 months ago
And all too believable.100 Ways to Succeed/Make Money - 100 ways? I'm not even sticking around for #3... - posted 5 months ago
Some people choose to accept narrow lessons from people they don't in-general respect. Others choose to discount any signal coming from someone for whom they've flipped the bozo (or evil) bit.Of course, even if you learn a lesson from a bozo, you don't have to give them public credit. But that has its own weird side-effects, too...
Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom - where in the future are we? - posted 5 months ago
So, we've got longevity/immortality.And some sort of serious human interface to the net (assuming that "HUD" isn't built into glasses).
We have some amount of off-world travel.
Physical space (on Earth) is increasingly crowded.
But starvation doesn't seem to be an issue. (At least not for someone who's living with space shortages.) (Unless it's so natural to the narrator that he doesn't bother mentioning it.)
Pride and Prejudice - last two chapters - posted 7 months ago
Please forward an empty-fragment email to support@dailylit.com and we'll take a look right away.thx!
Ideas - Blackberry Launcher? - posted 9 months ago
There's already a generic launcher that alerts you to having unread email.http://www.software-for-blackberry.com/launcher.html
Do you not like reading your installments through email?
Another approach is install one of the free RSS reader applications. NewsGator is popular on many platforms, but there are many other Blackberry-specific options.
