Biography

I build concertinas and telescopes out of wood and metal and some plastic and a lot elbow grease. I also design them; I retired a little early in 2022 to get a jump start on designing my own Hayden system concertina. I suppose I need to make website for it.

I feel like I have started where I would have liked to when I left college in 1981, but with all the things learned in the meantime that I didn't know back then.

Hi Becky! how's the story going?

I wrote a couple new scenes on mine, there's big play getting put on and a crowd watching it. It's all in the Bronze Age, so after nightfall there's lots of oil lamps flickering all over the place, and tallow dips.

Another scene was a couple of my characters who have a bit of a thing for each other but are no where near actually, like, admitting to it.

Me and Danielle are in email contact, so unless this site is not accessible for her, we should be getting her on here soon!

I hope to keep on track here. I"ve mad a goal of 5k this month, trying to make it so I'm not pushing it. I wrote too much last month.

Glad to be here.

I completely understand the need to back off from a push! I'm glad you made it here.

Are you in touch with Danielle James on the main site? I can't find her to buddy her or invite her to a group, and I'd love to invite her over here, but I don't want to do it on the forums, it's not safe.

Oops, you can also scroll down a little, looking down towards the right hand corner, and there's the Page 1, Page 2 buttons down there, too.

Aha, and I just figured something out!

The topics are paged, so if you get to the bottom of the page, you will need to scroll all the way up to the top to find the buttons for Page 1, Page 2, etc.

Here is a link to how permies forum works. About half way down the list, there's a General Topics that has stuff about working the actual interface, like how to post and use quotes and all that.

What questions should we have in a Permies.com FAQ?

Hi! -- incoming -- some new users following me from a writing forum.

That link to a FAQ would be deeply appreciated, but I'll give them the link so they have it!

It's a different type of software, an older sort, but I'm hoping you'll find it comfortable enough!

Ask questions, I'll give you a hand, and when I find the support link I'll post it, but I'm not finding it while writing this...
